I wonder if anybody could advise on any good H & S apps for a smart phone?
I'm looking for an app for auditing sites with all the relevant sections e.g. Fire Safety, Welfare, Ergonomics, etc, which will enable me to complete the audit in real time while I carry out the audit. I then want to be able to email the audit to my office upon completion.
I work on my own so don't want anything too expensive! Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Alan

Hi,
I have been looking into apps and their developments. I havn't seen any H&S ones yet but if you come across any you may think might be useful let me know, it is something I am keen to progress in the future.

Hi Alan,
You can try iAuditor which is a free app. Hundreds of templates to choose from and if you've got an ipad then you can also edit them to suit your business/needs. It's not bad to be honest.
I'm not 100% sure but I think it's only available for Apple iphones & ipads though.
Hope this helps.
Andy

The company I work for trialled this kind App a few years a go on construction sites and it wasn't very successful.
All of the officers found it hard to input comments, it became a box ticking exercise.
The dream is to tick box's while you are walking around, the reality is that you can not tick many box's until you have walked the whole site and checked documentation within the office. At this point you may as well be writing on a pad or sat behind your lap top rather than struggling to input data in to small box's you can hardly see on a touch screen which is too small.
As you can probably guess, I am not a champion of this type of device.

My favourite ‘app’ for use during an audit is a minion also known as a scribe who could write down what I was thinking during the audit/inspection. Very useful but they got bored and moved on to better paid job. As for this electronic stuff I have not found anything really useful and flexible enough. The problem is that each area I would audit is different with different issues and the template would be inappropriate.
