Field operations Apparatus & PPE checks

Checklists New

Truck, SCBA, and PPE checks the whole crew works together, with a readiness board, missed-check tracking, and failed items that become repair alerts.

  • Shared crew check-offs
  • Readiness board by unit
  • Failures become alerts

Why departments switch

What Checklists fixes.

Build your department’s checks once — sections, pass/fail items, readings with limits, quantities, and required notes — and schedule them daily, every N days, weekly, monthly, quarterly, twice a year, or yearly. Each check is shared work the crew logs in batches, the board shows which units are ready, behind, deficient, or out of service, and failed items become alerts that move through repair until the unit is back on the line.

  • Missed checks get noticed
  • Deficiencies get an owner
  • Every check keeps its version
01

Missed rig checks go unnoticed

Scheduled checks create a dated obligation, missed ones are flagged to the alert roles, and on-duty members can be warned before a check goes overdue.

02

Deficiencies get lost on paper

A failed item becomes an alert with severity, photos, an out-of-service flag, an owner, and a due date.

03

One person does the whole check

The whole crew logs into the same check in batches, and the board shows who still owes what.

04

No inspection audit trail

Checklist versions are immutable, completed checks keep their snapshot, and reports export to CSV and PDF.

01

Shared rig check

Readings carry their range, and a failed item with a note becomes an alert when it is logged.

  • Readings checked against limits
  • Failures need a short note
  • Crew logs in batches

Deficiency to repair

Out-of-service status, owner, due date, work-order reference, and a running history.

  • Awaiting parts, owner, due date
  • Work order and repair cost
  • Comments in the alert history

How it works

From setup to a record you can trust.

  1. Build the checklist

    Sections, answer types, schedule, target, and which roles receive alerts.

  2. Open it from the board

    Each unit’s card shows what is due today and what can be run as needed.

  3. Log checks in batches

    Mark items, scan a barcode to jump to one, and add notes and photos to failures.

  4. Repair and return

    Alerts move from acknowledged to in progress, awaiting parts, and ready for service, with cost and work-order references.

Part of one portal

Works with the rest of your department.

Members keep one secure sign-in and one set of role permissions across every module you turn on.

Questions

Checklists FAQ

Does Checklists require Assets?

No. Manual-question checklists work on their own. With Assets on, checks can target workspace records, write results into their history, and mark units out of service.

Can checks run without signal?

Answers are queued on the device and sent when the connection returns. Photos need a connection.

Can a check report supply shortages?

Yes. With Quartermaster on, an item can be linked to a gear size so shortages and use are sent to Quartermaster’s Event Reviews for approval.

Can we copy a checklist to another department?

Checklists export and import as JSON, and any checklist can be cloned.
