Common questions
What teams want to know.
What is a digital pre-shift inspection?
A digital pre-shift inspection replaces a paper checklist with a guided electronic workflow. Operators record equipment condition, report defects, add photos, and submit a time-stamped inspection record before use.
What equipment can ShiftInspection support?
ShiftInspection is designed for powered industrial trucks and mobile equipment, including forklifts and AGVs. Checklists can be configured for different equipment types and facility procedures.
Can we use different checklists for different equipment?
Yes. The product is designed around configurable checklists so inspection steps can match equipment categories, sites, and your approved operating procedures.
Does ShiftInspection guarantee OSHA compliance?
No software can guarantee compliance by itself. ShiftInspection supports an employer’s inspection and recordkeeping process with consistent checklists, defect escalation, equipment status, and accessible inspection history. Employers remain responsible for their safety program and legal obligations.
