Document Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) procedures with digital forms

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has taken on new importance in the time of COVID-19. The coronavirus ushered in a new era of protection measures, guided by recommendations from the CDC, as well as new regulations from labor agencies, like OSHA. With this regulation comes the need to adequately track and document operational PPE procedures, ensuring teams are compliant and safe on the job. 

Digital forms provide a simple solution for tracking the usage of Personal Protective Equipment, as well as any breaches of PPE compliance or procedure. Digital forms can be rapidly completed from phones, tablets, and computers, ensuring PPE documentation procedures can be easily and efficiently submitted. These forms can even be automatically populated with the Date, Time, and Location, accelerating completion and reducing opportunities for human error. Similarly, by selecting a job site or building location from a Drop Down menu of options, corresponding fields can be instantly filled with further information (for example, addresses, contact information, etc.). 

Leveraging digital forms, users can easily indicate which Personal Protective Equipment they have been assigned and are wearing on the job. For example, Checkbox Groups can be configured to list each piece of protective equipment onsite personnel are required to wear – allowing users to easily indicate what protective equipment they are currently wearing. If a user selects a Checkbox indicating there is an issue with their protective gear, for example, a damaged mask, your digital form can dynamically prompt the user for further information. 

Digital forms can be submitted from anywhere, even offline, allowing users to focus on their job rather than delivering forms, or locating a signal. Once submitted, a copy of the completed form can be instantly routed to supervisors or back-office teams, granting further visibility into job site PPE compliance. Collected data can even be used within reports, allowing supervisors to identify and address compliance trends and areas of concern.
