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.

Is the Lockout Tagout software customizable?2024-11-11T14:27:45-04:00

Yes. Smart Safety Pro is a lockout tagout software designed to be customizable for any organization. The LOTO admin tool allows program administrators access to add and edit data points specific to their implementation. This includes things such as energy type, energy feed, magnitude, and locations. Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout software also includes a fully customizable facility and divisional hierarchy setup. This means that equipment is placed into departments, buildings, floors, and zones for optimal inventory management and assignments. Facility view options include 3D floorplans, card style, and divisional. For corporate implementations, plant sites are easily segregated including user access.

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.

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.

Can I limit what users have access to?2024-11-11T14:24:49-04:00

Yes. The Smart Safety Pro lockout tagout software has built in user permission groups to ensure users only perform functions that they are authorized to do. The user groups allow or block the ability to create procedures, approve procedures, perform periodic inspections, perform machine lockout tagout events, or run reports. Admins have complete control over who is given access to various software. This ensures that only authorized employees have the ability to use the lockout tagout software to perform a digital lockout.

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.

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.

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.

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.
