Inspections

Safety inspection software that turns findings into COR evidence.

Canadian construction teams need workplace inspections that reflect provincial OHS requirements and the evidence their COR programme expects. SALUS connects the site walk to the finding, responsible supervisor, assigned correction, and verification record. Capture the condition with photos and notes while the crew can explain the work, then keep the follow-up with the original inspection. Safety coordinators gain a view across projects without separating the field evidence from its context. Where worker or joint committee participation applies, the record can document who contributed and what needs further review under the project’s own inspection process.

  • Hours · Hazard closure in hours, not daysPaper corrective actions can take days to close. A connected inspection assigns the fix on the spot — SALUS customers report closure in hours.
  • 1 flow · Find, assign, notify — no separate moduleCorrective actions live inside the inspection itself. No re-entry, no follow-up calls, no module-hopping — the walk is the work.

Conditional checklists, photos, annotations, and voice — captured during the walk, not after it.

It may seem like a significant investment initially, but we saved the whole platform’s cost in printing alone – not to mention that everything is so much easier and more organized.

Talk to Rosie

Record the observation during the workplace inspection.

A photo and a spoken explanation preserve different parts of a finding. Capture both while the condition is visible, then review Rosie’s structured draft for the location, issue, and priority. The resulting inspection gives the supervisor the field context needed to act within the project’s OHS process.

Keep parkades and remote work in the inspection programme.

Reception should not determine which areas receive a documented site walk. Capture the checklist responses and supporting evidence locally, then synchronize when service returns. Prepare the necessary forms before leaving coverage and confirm delivery before assuming the safety coordinator can review the record.

No bars, no problem — the inspection doesn't notice.

In-flow corrective actions

Turn the deficiency into a clear responsibility.

Choose the individual who can organise the correction and give them the original observation, work area, and required follow-up. The action remains attached to the inspection. A trade supervisor can see what was found without waiting for a separate email or a photograph forwarded without context.

Proof of closure

Check the correction against the original condition.

The person verifying the work needs more than a completed checkbox. Keep the correction photograph, notes, and required confirmation with the finding. That record helps the site team explain its response during a provincial OHS review or a COR audit of the inspection process.

The loop closes with a photo, not a promise.

Closure dashboards

Give safety coordinators a view of unresolved findings.

Review outstanding work by Canadian project, trade, and responsible person. The dashboard brings attention to findings that still need action and shows the supporting record behind each status. Coordinators can spend the review discussing the condition and the response instead of reconciling separate site spreadsheets.

Drill down to the evidence

Bring recurring conditions back into the safety programme.

A repeated access or housekeeping concern may need a change to planning or supervision. Open the individual inspection records behind the pattern and review them with the people who know the work. Rosie helps surface the repetition; the safety team decides which preventive steps belong in the programme.

Canadian OHS programme

Connect provincial inspections with worker participation

WorkSafeBC’s inspection and participation rules require regular workplace inspections and, where feasible, involvement of the joint committee or worker representative in the inspections specified by the regulation. An inspection record should therefore make the participants and the conditions reviewed understandable to the people responsible for follow-up.

For a British Columbia site, document the work area, inspection date, observations, and any participation by worker representatives. Keep the identified condition separate from the action assigned to address it. That gives the supervisor a clearer task and gives the next review a way to check whether the original issue was resolved.

Contractors preparing for COR can organise these records around their own inspection programme and the evidence their certifying partner requests. A collection of completed checklists is less useful if no one can trace the outstanding findings. SALUS connects those findings to named owners and closure evidence so the team can review the whole process. Provincial requirements differ, so configure inspection responsibilities and terminology for each jurisdiction rather than treating one province’s rules as a national standard.

Close hazards, not just forms

The connected flow compresses closure from days to hours — the hazard stops existing sooner.

FAQ

Inspections: questions from Canadian contractors

How can worker representatives participate in the inspection record?
Record the participants, observations, and follow-up responsibilities within your inspection process. In British Columbia, apply the participation requirements in OHS Regulation section 3.8; other provinces have their own rules for worker representatives and joint committees.
How does an inspection differ from a COR audit?
An inspection examines workplace conditions and identifies findings that need attention. A COR audit evaluates the health and safety management system against the relevant programme. Connected inspection and correction records can help show how that system operates in practice.
Can we use the same OHS checklist in every province?
Use a consistent company structure where it helps, but review the checklist, qualifications, responsibilities, and required records against the jurisdiction and work involved. A national template should not erase requirements specific to a province or project.
Can SALUS handle fire extinguisher inspections and equipment inspections?
Yes. Teams can use QR codes to open the right checklist for fire extinguisher quick checks, ladder checks, harness checks, equipment pre-use checks, and asset inspections, with history and evidence attached.
Can inspectors complete inspections offline?
Yes. Inspectors can capture photos, notes, checklist responses, and findings offline. SALUS auto-saves locally and syncs when signal returns, including in parking levels, elevator cores, upper floors, and remote work areas.
Can two inspectors work on the same inspection?
Yes. SALUS supports collaboration on the same inspection form, so multiple contributors can capture findings without creating duplicate versions or losing work in a dead zone.
How does Rosie help with safety inspections?
Rosie, the AI Admin & Risk Assistant, can structure spoken inspection findings into a usable record, helping turn voice notes, photos, and field context into categories, descriptions, severity, and corrective action drafts for review.
Can inspection findings create corrective actions?
Yes. A deficiency can become an assigned corrective action inside the inspection flow, with a named owner, due date, notification, project context, and evidence requirement attached.
Can we require photo proof of closure?
Yes. Closure can require photos, notes, timestamps, and sign-offs, so the record shows who closed the finding, when they closed it, and what the corrected condition looked like.
What should we bring to an inspections demo?
Bring a current inspection checklist, site walk form, fire extinguisher check, equipment inspection, or open finding log. SALUS can show the closed-loop workflow from field capture to named owner, notification, photo evidence, and dashboard closure.
