Equipment Inspections help construction teams replace paper-based equipment inspections with a simple, mobile-first workflow. Inspections allow crews to document equipment condition, report issues early, and maintain a clear inspection history for every piece of equipment.
Equipment Inspections are designed to fit naturally into daily workflows without blocking work, while still giving supervisors and administrators the visibility they need.
Equipment Inspections are part of BusyBusy’s Operations Module, which also includes Certification Tracking and Resource Planning. Equipment Inspections can be purchased as part of the Operations Module or separately as an add-on feature.
How Equipment Inspections Work
Equipment Inspections are built around checklists that define what should be inspected. Once a checklist is created and assigned to equipment, inspections can be completed in several ways:
Pre-operation inspections – Prompted when an employee clocks in to equipment
Post-operation inspections – Prompted when an employee clocks out or switches equipment
Routine inspections – Scheduled inspections that occur on a set interval, such as daily, weekly, or monthly
Ad Hoc– On-demand inspections completed outside of clock-in or clock-out workflows
All inspections are completed on mobile and are automatically available for review on web.
Inspection Results and Resolution
When completing an inspection, employees select an overall condition for the equipment:
Satisfactory – Safe to operate
Needs Attention – Minor issues; still safe to operate
Unsatisfactory – Not safe to operate
Inspections marked Needs Attention or Unsatisfactory are flagged for resolution. Supervisors or administrators can review inspection details, document how issues were handled, and sign to confirm resolution.
Permissions and Visibility
Equipment Inspections use permissions to control access:
All employees can complete pre-operation and post-operation inspections when those inspections are tied to clock actions.
Users with Perform Equipment Inspections permission can complete routine and ad hoc inspections.
Users with Manage Equipment Inspections permission can view, resolve, and delete inspections created by others.
This allows teams to give field employees the access they need while maintaining oversight from the office.
