The Work at Height Regulations 2005 requires records of weekly scaffold inspections by a qualified person. The records are a legal requirement on the scaffold user/ hirer. Streamlining the process of inspecting and decommissioning scaffolding structures with a new inspection smartphone app based upon the latest cloud technology makes recording inspections and sharing reports simple. SMART Scaffolder’s inspection app: * Automatically uploads a record of each inspection to the cloud * Works both online and offline * Captures customer signatures on site using the device * Allows you to raise unsafe scaffold reports * Is simple to use on site, even capture photos of any defects * Plan inspections in advance * No need for paper forms Save on paperwork The time and effort it takes to scan, file and send out reports can be dramatically slashed as there’s no need for paper forms. No more lost reports as everything is automatically saved in the cloud on secure servers. Retrieving reports couldn’t be simpler with our user friendly desktop web console should you need an old record. Instant inspection reports Not only can you set up the system so that each inspection is automatically emailed to your client, you also have instant access to the information. You can see which inspections are due, which inspections passed and which failed.

About

Convey Driver v2

Read full description

The Convey Driver App has been rebuilt to improve performance and make future updates easier. The interface remains familiar, while the technology behind it is faster, more stable and built to support future development. Designed with drivers in mind, the app provides easy access to key modules including WalkAround, Tachograph, Performance and Handbook – helping drivers stay compliant and connected wherever they are. Electronic WalkAround checks replace paper defect books, with data syncing automatically to the Convey platform for full visibility of vehicle condition and defect status. Drivers can view their Tachograph records, check availability to work or drive, review infringements and access company handbooks directly from the app. The app works online and offline, automatically syncing data once a connection is available. GPS records confirm that checks are completed where and when expected. Please note: GPS usage may increase power consumption.
