Safety Audit and Inspection Solution
1. What is SafetyStatus?
1. What is SafetyStatus?
SafetyStatus is the term used for the new method of carrying out periodic compliance safety inspections or audits. This is a software suite of tools which enables to user to follow the defined tasks in their set order. Access to more information than paper can offer is available within the software. Access to the tools and specific information defined for the task is easy.
Issues or findings can be recorded and previous Non Compliance registered can be easily viewed. Many features are available to make it easier for the user to complete the audit being assigned.
2. Who carries out SafetyStatus inspections or audits?
2. Who carries out SafetyStatus inspections or audits?
The safety audits can be defined by different roles, intervals and actual audit names. The user that is assigned to the audit has a log on to the software. With this access this user can see what audits have been assigned for the given period and which ones he/she has access to.
The role maybe one of the following
- Safety Inspector
- Compilance Officer
- Inspector
- Supervisor
- the list is endless
As part of the development process we work closely with the client to define which roles are being used to carry out specific audits.

3. Does it cost anymore to do SafetyStatus verse the typical inspection/audit process?
No, if anything it will cost less. Less time, effort, money as it is a much more efficient process which is repeatable and sustainable. The efficiency is in the process and how the tasks are communicated. As well, less time spent completing the reports and more effective decisions made through the data analysis features.
4. How long does it take to do a SafetyStatus inspection/audit?
4. How long does it take to do a SafetyStatus inspection/audit?
This varies with each audit and interval being carried out. Typically a 30+% reduction in inspection time is recognised when following our process. The ability to complete an audit in an efficient way and to be able to print/email the completed audit as soon as the job is completed saves a lot of time and effort. The quality of the safety audit will be improved and the potential risks are well communicated.
