Digital Checklists: From Safety to Benchmarks

Digital checklists streamline safety and compliance, reducing errors and saving time on audits and inspections. EZICHEQ takes it further with industry averages, letting businesses benchmark their performance against peers. With real-time insights and smarter tracking, you can spot gaps, improve processes, and ensure every check counts.

In high-risk industries like construction, forestry, engineering, mining and areas where you work at heights, there’s no room for guesswork. Safety and compliance aren’t optional—they’re the foundation of every operation. Whether it’s a safety inspection, a workplace audit, or a pre-start check, every detail matters. And when these details are missed, the consequences can be serious.

The Problem with Paper-Based Systems

Traditional paper checklists and spreadsheets often hold businesses back. They’re easy to lose, slow to update, and prone to errors. A misplaced form or skipped step can leave dangerous gaps in oversight—and when risk escalates, there’s often no clear record of what was done, what was unsafe, or what needed urgent attention.

Why EZICHEQ Digital Checklists Change the Game

That’s why many organisations are shifting to digital checklist tools and software app solutions like EZICHEQ. By replacing paper with digital auditing tools, inspections and compliance audits become simple, traceable, and accessible in real time.

Digital Inspection Checklists go further than just convenience:

  • Enhanced safety protocols – Built-in logic ensures no step is missed, while photos, geolocation, and timestamps provide clear evidence.
  • Real-time feedback – Hazards or issues flagged on-site instantly alert management, helping prevent accidents before they happen.
  • Boosted efficiency – Teams spend less time chasing paperwork and travelling to sites and more time keeping people safe and operations running smoothly.
  • Improved collaboration – Updates are shared instantly across teams, reducing duplication and confusion.

Safety and Compliance Made Simple

Compliance requirements can feel really overwhelming. Managers often spend hours trying to track what’s complete, what’s overdue, and where the risks lie. 

EZICHEQ simplifies this by:
  1. Turning safety and inspection tasks into quick workflow processes.
  2. We offer 80+ ready-to-use checklist templates in the EZICHEQ Template Library (or the option to create your own).
  3. Automatically save unlimited records for easy retrieval, export detailed reports at will. 
  4. Providing full accountability—tracking who completed each step, when, and where proving that the check was completed on site for complete transparency.

No more lost data from forms being misplaced. No more uncertainty. Just clear, reliable records you can trust every time.

Managing Items Like Sits, Equipment and Assets

Site and equipment checks are another critical piece of the puzzle. From scaffolding structures to heavy tools and machinery to PPE, daily use means inspections can’t be skipped. A missed site or equipment check could result in costly downtime or worse, a freak accident resulting in serious concequences.

With EZICHEQ, teams can:

  • Complete equipment pre-starts before use.
  • Run daily equipment safety checklists.
  • Track inspection histories across multiple sites.
  • Export instant PDF reports for audits and investigations.
  • Access real-time data and insights across all item types to track check status and item condition. 

This level of visibility ensures items and jobsites are compliant and safe, while giving managers peace of mind that checks and safety standards aren’t being missed everyday.

New Feature: Benchmark your safety checks with current industry averages

Benchmarking with Industry Data

One of the unique strengths of EZICHEQ goes beyond simply digitising checklists—it’s about giving businesses a clearer picture of where they stand.

EZICHEQ has developed a benchmarking feature that allows companies to measure their performance against industry averages for safety checks. This means you don’t just know whether your team is compliant—you know how you compare to others in your sector.

The first implementation of this feature is focused on scaffolding and daily scaffolding structure checks, providing businesses with valuable insights into how consistently they are meeting safety requirements compared to the wider industry. But it doesn’t stop there. We have the ability to expand benchmarking to cover checks for harnesses, lanyards, vehicles, machinery, PPE, and more across a range of high-risk industries.

For managers, this offers a whole new level of oversight. Instead of working in isolation, businesses can now see where they lead, where they lag, and where improvements will have the biggest impact.

EZICHEQ is affordable, scalable and easy to use.
