Mobile Scaffold Inspection Checklist

Creating a Mobile Scaffold Inspection Checklist using eAuditor Audits & Inspection involves outlining essential safety and compliance checks that must be conducted to ensure the scaffold’s safety and usability. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating this checklist:

1. Define the Checklist Sections

Start by categorizing the inspection process into various sections to cover all aspects of the scaffold. Typical sections might include:

1. General Information
   • Date of Inspection
   • Location
   • Inspector’s Name
   • Scaffold ID/Tag Number
2. Pre-Operational Checks
   • Weather conditions and environmental factors
   • Ground conditions (firm, level, and free from obstructions)
   • Scaffold assembled according to manufacturer’s guidelines
3. Base and Frame Inspection
   • Base plates or wheels in good condition and correctly positioned
   • Frames and cross braces are secure and undamaged
   • Plumb, level, and square scaffold structure
   • Locking mechanisms engaged on adjustable legs or wheels
4. Platform Inspection
   • Platforms are fully decked and free from damage
   • Planks are secure and free from gaps
   • Guardrails and mid-rails are in place and secure
   • Access ladders or stairways are stable and unobstructed
5. Stability and Structure
   • Scaffold tied or braced to prevent movement
   • No visible signs of wear, corrosion, or damage on structural components
   • Outriggers, if used, are properly extended and secured
6. Safety Measures
   • Guardrails and toe boards in place where required
   • Fall protection measures are in place
   • Load capacity signs are visible and load limits are not exceeded
   • Proper signage and tags are in place (e.g., “Do Not Use” signs if necessary)
7. Final Checks
   • Any additional equipment (e.g., harnesses, safety lines) in good condition
   • All tools and materials properly secured
   • Scaffold tagged with inspection status (safe to use/not safe)

2. Create the Checklist in eAuditor Audits & Inspection

• Step 1: Open eAuditor Audits & Inspection
  Log in to your eAuditor Audits & Inspection account and navigate to the “Templates” section.
• Step 2: Start a New Template
  Click on “Create Template” or “Import Template” if you have an existing template file.
• Step 3: Add Sections and Items
  Use the eAuditor Audits & Inspection interface to add sections and checklist items according to the categories mentioned above. For each item, specify the inspection criteria, such as pass/fail, yes/no, or numerical ratings.
• Step 4: Include Media and Notes
  Allow inspectors to attach photos and write notes for any items that require attention. This feature is particularly useful for documenting issues.
• Step 5: Set Up Automated Actions
  eAuditor Audits & Inspection allows you to set up automated actions, such as notifications to managers when a critical item fails inspection or when the scaffold is deemed unsafe.
• Step 6: Test the Template
  Run a test inspection to ensure that the template functions correctly and that all necessary fields are included.

3. Deploy and Use the Checklist

• Share the template with relevant team members.
• Conduct inspections and record results directly within the eAuditor Audits & Inspection app.
• Use the app’s analytics features to track compliance, identify recurring issues, and generate reports.

4. Review and Update Regularly

Periodically review and update the checklist to ensure it remains relevant and effective, especially if there are changes in regulations, equipment, or operating procedures.
