About

Checkmate Asset inspection

Read full description

Checkmate ™ is an easy-to-use technology system that guarantees H&S checks are always completed perfectly and in accordance with best practice or audit rules. Equipment such as Racking, Dept Safety Inspection, Machinery/Mobile Plant, Produce Quality Inspection, Close Down, Ladders, Cleaning, Fuel Site every 4 hrs, are fitted with a Checkmate ™ SurTag ™. Staff simply touch the SurTag ™ with a Smartphone and a customised safety checklist appears in the palm of their hand. The list is easy to follow and enjoyable for staff to use. If a fault or a risk is identified, Checkmate ™ captures a photo of the issue so that Managers can instantly see the problem and authorise for it to be fixed. On higher risk assets the LED light will flash red on the SurTag ™ to warn of the unresolved risk. Safety Checks are scheduled at pre-arranged intervals to meet best practice or audit standards and alerts are sent to the appropriate people if a check has not been done on time. Checkmate’s ™ Control Centre gives Managers and Owners total visibility across all assets at every business site in real time. They can rest assured knowing that perfect checking processes have been 100% enforced and that safety systems are working exactly as they intended. Here are some significant gains you can expect with Checkmate: - Staff Engagement because Checkmate™ is easier and more enjoyable to use. - Better sleep because Checkmate™ reduces the likelihood of H&S Act infringements that could lead to fines and/or imprisonment. - Much faster issue resolution and reduced downtime – fixes are approved easily in real-time. - Continuous improvement from the Checkmate™ platform – process improvements are easily added and deployed. - Big boost to H&S culture – staff enjoy performing checks, they feel safer and they get help quickly
