ASSP’s Digital Survey of Job Site Application

As new partner of American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP), Fulcrum launched its Fulcrum ASSP Starter field inspection platform, free for ASSP members, back in April. One of the two fully-customizable ANSI/ASSP processes that come with the Starter platform is ASSP Survey of Job Site. We thought we’d take a minute to go through the app and check out some of its features.

Based on Appendix A of the ANSI/ASSP A10.8-2019 standard the Survey of Job Site application can be used as a template to create your own job site inspection processes. Some things we noted include:

Easy Safe/Not Safe buttons.

Starting at the top, we see the first entries about the site’s Safe Access and Movement, including work areas, walkways, ladders, and more. Clicking on the “Safe” option allows us to go to the next item in the list.

Adding comments.

As noted above, while choosing “safe” will move you to the next entry, picking “not safe” opens a prompt for recording details about the unsafe condition(s) (Fig 1 below)

Adding photos.

At the bottom of each of the sections, we have a space to take photos or add existing photos to help visualize conditions noted above (Fig 2).

One-click location information.

By clicking the Locate button at the bottom center, you’re taken to a GIS map with exact coordinates. By pressing the checkmark in the upper right corner, you add this location data to the record you’re creating (Fig 3).

Simple report creation.

By clicking the “report” button at the lower left corner, your record will be automatically synchronized with the Fulcrum server, then used to generate a pdf report suitable for email, upload, or sharing with others. (Fig 4)

This digital version of the ANSI/ASSP survey of job site will allow users to pinpoint specific site location complete with GIS overlays, easily add photos to correspond with observations, and create data-rich reports that can be shared with a tap or two.

So, for all you ASSP members, sign up today for your free Fulcrum ASSP Starter, and get started saving time (and effort) with this great app!
