EHS professionals at high-risk operations where machinery hazard assessment accuracy directly impacts worker safety choose Ideagen's risk assessment solutions when consistent, thorough evaluation matters more than speed. Our award-winning platforms like Ideagen Machine Safety (G2 Leader) with 120,000+ machine-specific assessments and AI-automated compliance mapping reflect what users already know—intelligent risk assessment prevents the incidents that manual approaches miss.
Pre-operational safety checks that ensure equipment readiness
Paper pre-start checklists fail exactly when you need them—rain-soaked, illegible, lost. Generic tick boxes miss machine-specific hazards whilst operational pressure builds.
Ideagen's free Asset Guard app provides unlimited digital pre-start checklists specific to 120,000+ machine types, transforming morning chaos into systematic safety verification that gets equipment running safely.
Overview
Ideagen's smart pre-operational safety system
Why struggle with paper when digital solutions work harder? Ideagen's comprehensive pre-operational safety checks with machine-specific checklists help you get on with the job safer and quicker by transforming reactive paper trails into proactive, digital safety inspection protocols. Purpose-built for EHS professionals in regulated industries who must comply with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, PUWER regulations and EN ISO 12100 safety standards, our systems ensure every piece of equipment meets requirements before operation begins.
Our AI-powered platform handles the complexity whilst you focus on keeping people safe—the free Asset Guard app provides unlimited machine-specific pre-start safety verification protocols covering exact verification points for each of 120,000+ equipment types, AI-automated corrective action workflows trigger when issues are identified and real-time syncing ensures all data reaches supervisors instantly for immediate action.
Challenge & Solution
Paper-based pre-start checklists prone to loss and damage
Weather-damaged forms, misplaced clipboards and illegible handwriting create compliance gaps that develop into operational nightmares. Traditional paper systems mean discovering safety issues through equipment failures rather than preventing them through proper safety inspection protocols.
Our mobile-first Asset Guard app eliminates paper vulnerabilities with secure digital pre-operational safety checks that sync in real-time, work offline when connectivity isn't available and create timestamped audit trails with GPS location data. Photo capture capability documents issues instantly whilst ensuring nothing gets lost and every inspection creates proper documentation for PUWER compliance and HSE requirements.
Challenge & Solution
Generic inspection forms not tailored to specific machinery
One-size-fits-all checklists miss nuanced safety requirements whilst creating blind spots in operational readiness assessment that threaten both people and productivity. Generic approaches mean using construction equipment protocols for mining machinery whilst critical verification points get overlooked until failures reveal what was missed.
Our AI solution provides 120,000+ machine-specific safety inspection protocols that capture precise verification points each equipment type demands—from excavators to front loaders to specialised waste processing equipment. Each checklist reflects manufacturer requirements, CE marking standards and EN ISO 12100 risk assessment principles whilst automated risk reports provide clear corrective action plans when issues are identified, delivering targeted inspection protocols that match equipment complexity with verification precision.
Challenge & Solution
Delayed identification and reporting of machinery faults
Equipment failures discovered through traditional inspection methods mean operational disruption and safety risks have already escalated whilst teams scramble to contain damage that could have been prevented. Reactive approaches create exactly the crisis management scenarios that consume strategic time whilst threatening worker safety.
Our AI-powered real-time reporting system instantly flags failed inspection items to supervisors whilst automated corrective action workflows connect operational teams with maintenance personnel immediately. The platform tracks patterns across inspections to identify recurring issues before they escalate, whilst integration with risk assessment data helps predict potential failures based on equipment history and usage patterns. This proactive approach to safety clearance procedures prevents equipment failures that traditional inspections miss until it's too late.
