Streamlining inspections with digitized mobile processes
Digitized mobile processes provide much more than a limited subset of the health and safety data you need. They create an environment in which anyone can pick up their phone or mobile device, collect data — including photos, audio, and video, if need be — and inject that data directly into a follow-on HSE-related workflow that may involve reports and data sharing as well as email, texts, and external applications.
Eliminating programming — what is sometimes called a "no-code" approach — is crucial. It’s the most important way you can modernize your mobile workforce to streamline HSE inspections.
If you need to hire a programmer to write your mobile app, you won’t have a version control problem like you do with paper — but it will take a long time to get your new versions out. If you have a new requirement or need a new data type, you’ll need to wait even longer and pay more. And if people upgrade their mobile devices, you’ll need to do compatibility testing across your user base.
But by using a no-code approach, you can create and modify your HSE inspection checklists without involving developers. No outside consultants, no IT developers on loan. It’s liberating.
All on your own, you can update a checklist with new safety requirements. You can add a new HSE manager to an automatically formatted and emailed inspection report. You can send a text to a remediation team when an inspector finds a serious health or safety issue so they can quickly prevent a situation from becoming an incident.
And you can do those things without writing a single line of code. Which means that your users just have to hit “sync” on their phones to have everything they need for their HSE inspections to be up to date.
