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.

Do I need to use a desktop computer to create a procedure?2024-10-22T13:29:34-04:00

No. The lockout tagout app includes a 100% mobile LOTO procedure builder. Procedures are written right at the machine for better accuracy and efficiency. Users can add energy sources, take and annotate images, and add verification and return to service steps all on the mobile app.

How do I return the machine to service?2024-10-22T13:28:50-04:00

When a machine is in a lockout or minor servicing status, scanning the procedure or energy source QR code launches the digital return-to-service process. Using the same method as the lockout, the return-to-service steps are displayed one at a time on the screen and the authorized employee validates that each step is completed successfully. When the return-to-service status is finalized, the real-time equipment status returns to operating.

Is training offered?2024-11-11T14:22:45-04:00

The Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout software is easy to set up and can be used to start new or convert an existing lockout tagout program to a digital platform. Software training is available if needed, and an online knowledge base offers detailed instructions for using the software. For companies who require OSHA training for authorized employees or assistance with procedure writing and understanding compliance, our partnership with safety consultants Rockford Systems offers onsite consulting services and expert software training combined.

Can I edit a procedure after it is submitted?2024-10-22T13:29:30-04:00

After a procedure has been submitted for approval, the approver is able to make edits until the final approval. When a procedure is in an approved status it cannot be edited. However, if things change or edits are determined to be needed during a periodic inspection, a procedure can be unapproved. This allows the procedure to be modified as needed and then submitted for reapproval. This is a quick process that does not require starting over with a new procedure. When a procedure is revised, it is assigned a new ID number and QR code to ensure version tracking and undisrupted history data.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

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.

What information does the mobile periodic inspection include?2024-10-22T13:31:52-04:00

The periodic inspection includes criteria as required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147, and includes an area to record the employees in attendance for the inspection.

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.

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.
