Mobile Periodic Inspections

Periodic Inspections are often considered the hardest part of OSHA 1910.147 compliance. They normally require manual tracking, planning, paperwork, and data entry. The process is cumbersome and hard to succeed at. Smart Safety Lockout Tagout takes over all the manual processes so that you can spend your time focused on the actual intent of the standard: training employees and keeping your facility safe.

“A lot of companies don’t have systems in place to be able to manage the periodic inspection process, and it can be very challenging. With InspectNTrack Smart Safety, you can go out there and just bring procedures up on the fly and do a mobile periodic inspection. Make that part of your daily life. Then you can go on the web and you can see, we still have these 10 that we didn’t hit and then we do a planned event on those.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Check out the answers to frequently asked questions about the Smart Safety Lockout Tagout software program.

What is the benefit of mobile lockout tagout?2024-10-22T13:29:13-04:00

Mobile lockout tagout software offers visibility and insights into machine status that are not possible with a manual lockout tagout program. When a machine is locked out, the authorized employee scans a QR code, views each step of the procedure, and confirms on the screen that the step was completed successfully. This offers two major benefits. First, it ensures that the procedure is followed correctly and includes documentation validation. Next, it changes the status of the equipment to “locked out”. The Smart Safety Pro equipment dashboard displays real-time operating status of all equipment so that program managers verify details without walking out to the machine.

How does the procedure approval work?2024-10-22T13:29:21-04:00

After a LOTO procedure is finished and submitted it is ready for approval. The Authorized User can review the procedure in the mobile app, make any necessary changes, then digitally approve it. This activates the procedure QR code so that it can be scanned to auto-launch the mobile procedure execution anytime lockout tagout is required.

Do I need to print and file periodic inspection records?2024-11-08T02:17:30-04:00

No. The lockout tagout software portal stores all periodic inspections in the database permanently. Periodic inspection reports can be run on-demand as needed. During an OSHA audit, periodic inspection data can be produced for any equipment criteria and any date range at the click of a button.

Can I use digital lockout if my company doesn’t allow cameras?2024-10-22T13:28:59-04:00

Yes, the lockout tagout app can be used without cameras. To maintain scan-ability, use the Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout app on a mobile computer with a security lockdown. Lockout tagout procedures can also be executed by selecting the machine from the equipment list, or typing the procedure ID into the procedure lookup box.

What happens when a periodic inspection determines that changes to the procedure are required?2024-11-08T02:17:59-04:00

When it is necessary to change a procedure, the procedure can be unapproved and edited. Changes can then be made to the existing procedure without having to start over. This includes editing image annotation and isolation steps. After the changes are complete, the procedure is submitted for approval and assigned a new procedure ID number.

How do I track when periodic inspections are due?2024-10-22T13:31:29-04:00

With the Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout app, program managers no longer need to manually track when periodic inspections are due. The software takes over tracking inspections and ensures that a period inspection is triggered every year. The number of periodic inspections due is displayed at 30, 60, and 90 day intervals. This information is accessible via reporting, the web portal dashboard, and the periodic inspection workflow in the lockout tagout mobile app.

Can any employee perform a periodic inspection?2024-11-08T02:17:05-04:00

Whether or not an employee can perform a periodic inspection is determined by the permissions assigned within the software. An authorized employee must have the proper permission level assigned to access the periodic inspections workflow within the Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout app.
