Challenges: Increase Scaffold Inspection Efficiency
ibn scaffold access limited’s offerings include rigorous inspection of scaffolding in use by its customers. The company prioritizes safety for employees, contractors, and the public by regularly inspecting installations. These inspections include clear equipment status communication for on-site workers and detailed reports for supporting managers. To maintain high-quality service for its growing customer base, the company needed an automated solution for inspection reporting.
Solutions: SafeTrak Inspection Management Software
Scafftag, a Brady company, offers SafeTrak, a software tool that automates reporting during inspections. Inspections can be initiated with an RFID handheld device, which helps locate equipment due for inspection and supports the inspection process. The software guides inspectors through predefined steps, capturing entered information, including pictures, to auto-generate a complete report. This report is instantly shared with predefined stakeholders. Inspectors can also add relevant information to the equipment’s tag on-site, ensuring vital details are accessible to workers.
SafeTrak includes a planning module that facilitates regular inspection scheduling. Inspectors receive automated updates on their smartphones, informing them about the next scaffold or equipment due for inspection.
Scafftag customized the SafeTrak software to meet the specific needs of ibn scaffold access limited, maximizing the efficiency of their inspection process. Scafftag also provided support during the SafeTrak setup to ensure compatibility with the Scafftags already in use by the company.
Results: Instant Equipment Inspection Reports
The scaffolding inspection process at ibn scaffold access limited has become faster, more accurate, and more professional. Reports are created instantly as inspections take place, resulting in faster communication with customers and increased cost-effectiveness.
“Using the Safetrak system has enabled our scaffold inspection department to be more cost-effective. We no longer spend time writing out reports. This is done as the inspection is taking place.”
