Compliance evidence that lives with the asset
Keep asset inspections with the equipment, and site and worker checks with their Location or Person records. Open saved submissions and supporting files when someone asks for the evidence.
See compliance for every inspection and service schedule
Every maintenance schedule in one table. Extinguisher checks, lifting gear inspections, test and tag and survey calibration sit beside plant and vehicle servicing, each with a compliance percentage, interval, next due date and assignee. The plant service plan and site plant service are overdue, so they show in red; schedules with assets due soon show in orange.

Co-Founder & GM of Operations
Keep the individual result inside the inspection round
Multi-asset work orders let the team organise a visit together without collapsing every asset into one overall pass. Each asset keeps its outcome and supporting record.
1. Select and identify the assets
Build the due list from the appropriate category, location and configured date fields. Confirm the physical identifier before recording the result.
2. Review the failed and incomplete items
Complete the procedure and outcome for each asset, then check the exceptions before closing the round. Retain the relevant evidence and follow-up job with the affected item.
Setup and limits
- The software organises evidence. Your competent team determines the applicable procedure and the equipment’s suitability for use.
Trusted by construction, civil and mining teams
From forms to proof. One source of truth
Attach pre-starts, inspections and checklists to asset types. Complete in the field, store certificates on the asset, and run reports for auditors. No more scattered files or emails.
Pre-starts & inspections
Define checklists per asset type. Use AI-assisted form creation or templates. Field teams complete and sign off on mobile or tablet.
Explore pre-starts →Forms & checklists
Build custom forms with logic and attachments. Photos and notes attach to the asset record. One place for all compliance evidence.
Explore →Inspection to work order
When a pre-start or form flags a defect, create a work order linked to the asset. Track to resolution in the same platform.
Explore →Site checks
Keep the site check with the location
Use a Location form to record a site check and the action taken. Reopen the saved submission to review its answers and follow-up notes when you're preparing for audits.
Explore forms & checklists →Keep the site finding and corrective action together
The initial red and amber findings remain beside the recorded action: install the missing barrier panel, clear the walkway and recheck both items. In this example, only the red Non-Compliant answer appears under Needs attention.

Worker checks
Keep the worker check with the person
Use a Person form to record worker readiness and any follow-up. Review the saved answers and action notes against your own site requirements.
Keep worker checks and follow-up with the person
The saved check retains the missing PPE and low radio battery findings. The follow-up records a replacement vest, charged battery and repeated checks, with both rechecks marked Compliant.

Compliance requirements across industries
Under the Australian WHS Act, every Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) must ensure plant and equipment is regularly inspected, maintained and safe to operate. The specific obligations vary by industry, but the core requirement is the same: demonstrate that you manage risk and keep records to prove it.
Construction
SafeWork codes of practice require pre-start inspections, plant registration and operator competency records for all machinery on site. Non-compliance penalties under the model WHS Act can reach $3 million for body corporates. Digital compliance tracking replaces paper logbooks and ensures nothing is missed between shifts. Learn more about construction compliance.
Mining
State resources and mining safety regulations mandate equipment inspection registers, risk assessments and maintenance records for all plant and mobile equipment. Mines inspectors expect documented evidence of scheduled servicing and defect rectification. Centralising these records per asset eliminates the filing cabinet problem. Learn more about mining compliance.
Oil and gas
Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR) require documented inspection and maintenance of pressure vessels, lifting gear and safety-critical equipment. Operators need to prove that inspection schedules are followed and that any defects are rectified before equipment returns to service. Learn more about oil and gas compliance.
Facilities management
Building compliance codes require fire safety equipment inspection schedules, HVAC maintenance logs and emergency system testing records. Essential safety measures reports must be submitted annually, and missing a scheduled inspection can void insurance coverage. Learn more about facilities compliance.
Why spreadsheets fail at compliance tracking
Missed inspection dates. Spreadsheets have no built-in reminders. When an inspection is due, nobody gets notified. By the time someone checks the sheet, the deadline has already passed and the asset is non-compliant.
No photo evidence or geolocation proof. A spreadsheet cell can hold text, but it cannot capture a timestamped photo at the point of work or record GPS coordinates proving the inspection happened on site. Auditors increasingly expect this level of evidence.
Manual entry errors and version control issues. Copy-paste mistakes, outdated file versions and conflicting edits across teams create compliance gaps that are invisible until an auditor finds them. There is no reliable audit trail showing who changed what and when.
Audit preparation takes days instead of seconds. Pulling together compliance evidence from multiple spreadsheets, email threads and shared drives is a manual process that can take days. With a digital compliance platform, you filter by asset, site or date range and export a report in seconds.
No real-time visibility across sites or teams. When compliance data lives in spreadsheets, managers have no way to see which assets are overdue for inspection right now. Issues only surface when someone manually consolidates the data, which is always too late.
