PPE issuance & inspection
Track every piece of protective equipment from issuance to disposal.
QEHS Ethos PPE management software records equipment issuance to named workers, schedules inspection intervals, and triggers replacement workflows when equipment fails inspection or reaches end-of-life. Workers sign electronically at point of issue.
The problem
- No record of which worker has which PPE
- Inspections are missed because there is no scheduling system
- Expired or damaged PPE continues in service undetected
How it works
A step-by-step walkthrough of this use case in QEHS.
Issue PPE to worker
Scan or select the equipment item; the worker signs electronically; the issuance record captures type, serial, and date.
Schedule inspections
Set inspection frequency per equipment type; the system generates inspection tasks and assigns them to the responsible inspector.
Record inspection results
Inspector works through a configurable checklist; failed items trigger a replacement workflow immediately.
Track end-of-life
The system alerts when equipment approaches its service life or mandatory replacement date.
Report PPE compliance
Dashboard shows active issuances, overdue inspections, and failed items by site and type.
