The Safety Inspections App Built for the Front Line

Sitemate’s Safety Inspections App is powered by Dashpivot, and allows site teams to easily log safety inspections at the job site. Storm, Sitemate’s AI agent, can fill out reports with hazard observations, corrective actions, and even photos, then site supervisors can review, edit, and sign off directly on the form via e-signature.

Why Safety Inspections management Is Harder than It Should Be

Time-consuming manual safety inspections

Workers using paper-based forms take a long time to complete safety inspections across site.

Missing and illegible inspection records

Paper-based inspection forms can easily get soiled or damaged. Furthermore, paper forms are easy to lose before reaching the office.

Compliance gaps due to skipped inspections

Due to the time it takes to complete paper-based inspections, workers may skip the process, which compromises safety and compliance.

Cannot preview past inspection records

Completed paper-based inspections are usually filed away, which limits visibility on previous hazards identified. This can cause a disconnect and prevent effective risk management.

A Smarter Safety Inspections App

AI-assisted inspection report creation

Storm can help turn user prompts into a complete inspection report, pre-filled with details specific to user input.

Streamlined inspections with photo capture

Workers can log identified hazards, take photos of site conditions, and notify relevant personnel for follow-up, all from their mobile device.

Reduce time spent on admin work

Safety teams can redirect their focus to addressing hazards, instead of spending time on manual paperwork.

Cannot preview past inspection records

The Safety Inspections App uses Dashpivot’s cloud storage system where all completed inspections are stored. Looking into previous records can be done with a few taps and clicks.

Safety inspections with the power of AI

Sitemate's AI agent Storm is integrated into the Safety Inspections App to further streamline the process. Storm can immediately scan voice recordings and photos and directly auto-populate fields in the inspection form. Personnel will only need to review the form before clearance.

Feed Storm the inspection details

Personnel conducting the inspection can use the voice recording feature while they walk through the site and take photos of identified hazards or defects, eliminating the need to manually input information.

Data mapping

Storm extracts insights from user input, voice notes, and photos, sorts the raw data, and uses those insights to populate the right data fields of the inspection form.

Review of inspection draft

Personnel in charge of the inspection should review the auto-populated fields to ensure everything is correct, and add any missing context.

Supervisor review and approval

Supervisors will then review the inspection for any identified issues before clearing the site or activity as safe. Any identified issues will first be flagged for corrective action before work proceeds.

How AI Helps With Safety Inspections

Streamlining the Safety Inspection Process

  • Storm and AI Form Fill help workers turn prompts, photos, and voice notes into a formal safety inspection report in seconds
  • Accessible on any device, the Safety Inspections App lets teams log hazards, checks, and corrective actions right on their mobile phones, right when inspections take place on site
  • Pre-built templates guide workers through what to capture, so nothing gets missed
  • Digital timestamping and GPS tagging streamline traditional manual admin work when creating safety inspection reports
  • Stakeholders and project management get notified immediately of new safety inspections when the inspection is submitted for approval

Understanding Safety Inspections Software

What is a Safety Inspections App?

A Safety Inspections App is a tool that supervisors and safety personnel use to create safety inspection reports, documents that record the condition of a work site against required safety standards. These inspections are usually carried out at set intervals, and cover details on the areas checked, any hazards or violations found, and the corrective action needed. With a Safety Inspections App, teams can keep a digital record of these inspections, as well as any follow-up action taken to close out issues found.

What does a Safety Inspections App help record?

  • General information like project name, site location, and inspection date
  • Areas or work zones covered by the inspection
  • Checklist of items reviewed, such as equipment, housekeeping, and access routes
  • Hazards or violations identified during the inspection
  • Severity or risk rating of each finding
  • Corrective action required and responsible party
  • Name and signature of the inspector
  • Supporting photos and attachments

Why are safety inspections important?

Safety inspections are important because they are a means by which supervisors can identify hazards or violations on site, and elevate them to the responsible party before they lead to an incident. These hazards can arise from factors like poor housekeeping, damaged equipment, or gaps in following safe work procedures. This is especially relevant to industries like construction and industrial or manufacturing plants, where site conditions change often and can introduce new risks over time. Additionally, safety inspection records serve as a basis for supervisors when tracking recurring issues and demonstrating due diligence during audits.

How To Set Up a Digital Safety Inspections Using Sitemate

Set up Safety Inspection templates

First, you will need to create the templates that will be used as standard forms for all your safety inspections. Supervisors can create these forms in Dashpivot, where they can add fields for project details, inspection checklist items, identified hazards, corrective actions, and sign-off requirements.

Use Storm to fill out Safety Inspection templates

Storm captures insights and context from all sorts of user input. Manual user prompts, voice notes, photo analysis, and automatic location and time capture are all taken into account in the form.

Set up notifications

Set up the notification workflow within Dashpivot to send automatic alerts to supervisors and project managers as soon as safety inspections are logged.

Train personnel

Train personnel on how to use the Safety Inspections App, especially on how to input data, photos, and voice recordings, collect signatures, and review the auto-populated fields.
