Step 2: Find your scheduled inspection

Step 4: Complete the inspection

Step 5: Review and finalize

  1. After answering all questions, click Continue
  2. Review the summary showing all your answers
  3. Edit any responses if needed
  4. Click Finalize to complete the inspection

Tips

  • Check your scheduled inspections at the start of each shift to plan your work
  • Complete inspections before their due date to maintain compliance
  • If you cannot complete a scheduled inspection, inform your supervisor so it can be reassigned
  • Scheduled inspections may recur (daily, weekly, monthly) — completing one generates the next occurrence automatically
