When it comes to keeping your team safe and your sites compliant, you need powerful SafetyReports Inspections features to simplify the process.

Many customers start with the basics: building checklists, scheduling inspections, and generating reports. But if that’s where you stop, you may be missing out on valuable capabilities that can save you time, drive stronger results, and elevate your safety program.

In this post, we’ll highlight hidden gems — lesser-known SafetyReports Inspections features that can help you get more from the platform.

Job Bank: Automate More, Click Less

Many teams manually assign inspections for each job or project — but Job Bank makes this much easier.

With Job Bank, Admins can predefine inspection settings and categories for each job or phase of work. You can also pre-configure up to seven performance reports per job, delivered automatically to the right people.

The result? Faster setup, consistent inspections, and smarter reporting — with far fewer clicks.

Tip: Use Job Bank to match inspection categories to different phases of complex projects (start-up, active construction, shutdown, etc.).

Ad Hoc Inspections: Capture What You See

Not every safety observation fits a scheduled checklist. That’s why SafetyReports offers Ad Hoc inspection mode.

Ad Hoc inspections let your team capture on-the-spot observations — perfect for daily walkarounds, toolbox talks, or documenting emerging site risks.

Tip: Encourage supervisors and field leads to use Ad Hoc mode to promote a culture of continuous safety awareness. Resources like the National Safety Council’s safety inspections guide reinforce the value of regular, flexible observations.

Email-Based Corrective Action Closeout

Here’s a gem that makes life easier: Responsible Parties can close out assigned Corrective Actions directly from their email — no login required.

This helps drive faster resolution, improves accountability, and reduces the risk of open issues falling through the cracks.

Tip: Be sure your Corrective Action notifications go to the right team leads — operational ownership drives better outcomes.

Offline Mode: Inspections Anywhere

Whether your teams work in remote areas or on complex sites with limited connectivity, Offline Mode ensures inspections continue uninterrupted.

Inspections can be completed without reliable service, and will sync automatically once connectivity is restored — ensuring no data is lost.

Tip: Remind field teams to download current checklist versions before traveling to remote locations.

Powerful Analytic Reports You Might Not Be Using

Beyond the real-time dashboard, SafetyReports Inspections features a rich library of Analytic Reports — giving leadership deeper insights into program performance.

Popular reports include:

• Monthly Trending Report
  
• Top 10 List (common issues)
• Safety Score Report
  
• Corrective Action Tracking Report
  

Tip: Use Job Bank to automate delivery of key reports to project stakeholders or leadership teams — it keeps safety results visible and measurable.
