Can You Do More With Your Workplace Inspections?

Inspections are one of the most common functions across all workplaces. They provide value in their ability to uncover hazards in the workplace through annual audits, periodic workplace inspections, and pre-operational checks on equipment, vehicles, and machinery. But can you get more from your inspection processes?

Smart Inspections™ and the Rules Engine (R.Eng)

When combined with the myosh Rules Engine (R.Eng), key responses within Smart Inspections can be configured to automatically trigger critical internal processes, actions, and notifications. Why is this important? Consider a worker conducting a daily preoperational check on a piece of machinery. The worker is shown an image of a tyre and asked an explicit and unambiguous question – Is the wheel nut aligned at 45 degrees? He answers no.

With the Rules Engine, the worker conducting this inspection no longer needs to consider whether to escalate this issue or create an action. He simply needs to answer the question. In the background, actions and notifications have already been assigned to the relevant people to let them know that a critical risk is uncontrolled. If related to quality control, a non-conformance document has also been created. These automatic processes are important because they bypass the need for workers to make value judgements in the field, and allow supervisors to verify the control of risks across the business.

Importantly, organisations can also report on the performance of their Smart Inspection/ control metrics and demonstrate their due diligence. This can be extremely beneficial when it comes to winning contracts or tenders or, in the case of litigation. Organisations can use their ongoing verification processes as a competitive advantage in the market.

“Many CRM’s focus on an individual risk, verification of the controls for that risk, and then the inspection is complete. However, the Smart Inspections focus on the worksite and the critical risks associated with ‘work’ – this allows controls to be verified for multiple critical risks all at the same time, because that is what a worksite is really like – multiple risks to verify, multiple controls to verify.Josh Bryant (Mitchell Services General Manager, People and Risk)
