Step-by-Step Guide to Create this Form in eAuditor Audits & Inspections

1. Login to eAuditor Audits & Inspections:
   • Access the eAuditor Audits & Inspections app or web platform and sign in.
2. Create a New Template:
   • Go to the Templates section and click on Create New Template.
3. Name the Template:
   • Give the template an appropriate name, like “Jobsite Safety Checklist.”
4. Set Up Sections and Fields:
   • Add sections for each category listed above (e.g., Personal Protective Equipment, Fall Protection, Tools and Equipment).
   • Use different field types to capture the necessary information:
     • Text Input for jobsite name, inspector name, etc.
     • Checkboxes for “Yes/No” items (e.g., “Are hard hats in use?”).
     • Multiple Choice for selecting options (e.g., Weather conditions).
     • Photos to allow inspectors to take pictures of hazards or safe conditions.
     • Signature Fields for inspector and supervisor sign-off.
5. Use Conditional Logic:
   • For example, if “No” is selected for “Are ladders in good condition?”, add fields to capture details about what is wrong with the ladder.
6. Add Scoring or Rating (Optional):
   • You can add a scoring system to quantify the safety levels of different sections (e.g., PPE, Electrical Safety).
7. Review and Test:
   • Test the form on different devices to ensure it’s easy to use and captures all the necessary information.
8. Assign the Checklist:
   • Once completed, assign the checklist to jobsite managers or safety inspectors to ensure routine inspections.
9. Track Inspections and Reporting:
   • Use eAuditor Audits & Inspection’s reporting features to track trends, identify frequent hazards, and analyze safety performance over time.

This Jobsite Safety Checklist will help ensure that all necessary safety protocols are followed on-site, allowing for the identification and resolution of hazards promptly.
