Health & Safety
A daily plant check is worth having only if it is done before use and recorded by the operator. Gaffer gives the operator a structured pre-use inspection — controls, guards, fluids, tyres or tracks, lights, brakes, steering — and records who signed it and whether anything stopped the machine going to work.

A check per machine per shift, completed by the named operator on the mobile app.
The inspection records the operator by name, so the person who actually walked round the machine is on the document.
Controls functional, guards in place, fluid levels, tyres or tracks, lights and signals, brakes and steering — each recorded individually rather than as one overall tick.
Fire extinguisher, first aid kit and PPE availability are part of the check, because those are the items that quietly go missing between sites.
Pre-use inspections sit with your asset register, equipment inspections and fleet records in one platform.
PUWER requires work equipment to be maintained in efficient working order and inspected where safety depends on the installation or conditions. For mobile plant, a documented operator pre-use check is the standard way of meeting that, and principal contractors almost always require it.
The operator, before use. That is the whole point — a check completed by a supervisor in the office the following week is not a pre-use inspection.
Defects are recorded against the inspection and the machine can be marked accordingly, so a fault found at 7am is visible to whoever is scheduling that machine rather than being reported verbally and forgotten.
Yes. Plant checks happen on sites with poor coverage, so the field app records them on the device and syncs when a connection is available.
