Quality & Safety Inspections

Safety is Job One: Integrated Safety Management

by Leave a Comment

Everyone agrees that safety is job #1. Companies need to create and foster safe working environments. We all want our employees to return home safe and sound at the end of the day. 

So if safety is so important, why is safety information so poorly managed?  

Remember: “If you cannot measure it, you cannot manage it.” 

Manage Safety Info with Construction Viz

Many companies still use paper to keep their safety records. Construction Viz takes a much more comprehensive approach, and focuses on collecting data where it can provide the most value. We help you manage safety information throughout the project lifecycle—planning, training, inspections, incidents, and reporting.  

How does it work? 

Safety Planning and Training.  Using the Document Binder app, you can store, organize, report, and share safety plans and guidelines with your project teams. The Planner app makes it easy to provide a training schedule, which can be shared on a calendar integrated with Outlook and/or Google.

Safety Inspections. This app facilitates safety inspections in the field, using any device with a modern browser. The app can even operate offline with no internet connection. The coordinator can create checklists based on your safety plan, capture images and video, generate a list of non-compliance issues, and distribute that list to the appropriate people on your team.  

Safety Incidents. You can capture information about any safety incident, such as personnel information, incident description and time, classification of case/injury/result of injury, and witness information. You can attach documents and images, and route the information for review.

Safety Reporting. All your safety data is available in a configurable grid for reporting and analysis as well as in paginated log reports which can be exported to Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and PDF.

Quality Management Made Easy

Project Managers work to manage the scope, schedule, and budget of their projects. Unfortunately, quality can sometimes take a backseat to project delivery. Quality management can be further exacerbated by the lack of effective planning and management tools.  

Turnkey quality-management includes developing a quality assurance plan, planning and conducting quality inspections, identifying and correcting issues, and analyzing data to uncover areas for improvement and/or trends.  

When we approached quality management in Construction Viz, we looked at the end-to-end process to ensure that data would be captured effectively and could be easily be reported, all with the view of improving productivity and enhancing the quality of the project.  

Here is how Construction Viz helps you manage quality, from creating and managing the QA plan to analyzing results after the project is done. 

Using Construction Viz for Effective Quality Management

Create and Manage the QA Plan.  You can easily create and store your QA plan in our Document Binder app, which features simple drag-and-drop capabilities, revision control, and assignment of automatic meta data. Microsoft Office attachments open in Office Online Server so you can easily collaborate with your team in a web browser on any device.

Plan Inspections. You can schedule  inspections in the Planner app, which features an easy-to-use, shared calendar that  syncs with Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar.

Perform Inspections. The QA Inspection Form app captures inspection information in an easy-to-use, mobile-ready form. Inspection criteria can be easily added and organized in the form as criteria is added and/or changed. Field images and video, geospatial location information, attachments, and approvals can be captured and emailed to your project team

Identify Non-Complianct Issues. When you identify an issue, you don’t want to have to bounce between applications. We embedded the Non-Compliance app within the QA Inspection app, so an inspector can easily log non-compliance issues while still in the QA Inspection form. 

Analyze Performance Issues. The end step in any process is feedback. All our apps facilitate data analysis, with configurable grids and reports so that you can improve operations in the future.
