Specificities of Commercial Vehicle Maintenance in the Winter Season

Specificities of Commercial Vehicle Maintenance in the Winter SeasonThe winter season is tough for commercial vehicles. Cold temperatures affect various vehicle systems, especially batteries.

The chemicals for ice control at roadways increase the risk of corrosion of tires, trucks, and trailers.

Proper and increased maintenance in the winter season is crucial to the long-term well-being of commercial vehicles and, of course, an entire business.

This aspect should be taken into account even at the stage of planning the time for transportation and delivery. Also, keep the commercial vehicles safe by adequately stocking them with what they need in the case of trouble during a winter storm.

Perform regular vehicle inspections and drive safely to successfully survive this winter season!

How to Improve and Streamline Incident Reporting on Construction Sites

How to Improve and Streamline Incident Reporting on Construction SitesConstruction is well-known as a hazardous industry. The good news is that construction accidents are declining. According to OSHA, workplace fatalities have decreased by more than 65%, and occupational injury and illness rates have declined by 67%. However, still, plenty of accidents happen on construction sites and it is important to report about them instantly.

What is an incident report?

An incident report is usually used to capture injuries and accidents, near misses, health and safety issues, property and equipment damage, and more. It is a document that includes the root cause and corrective actions and it should be created at the time an incident occurs. Incident reports should be properly kept and provided when requested. Incident reports help improve the safety of the working environment and legally secure employees and a company.

The new digital format of incident reports

The completion of incident reports can be a real difficulty for workers in the field. The paper-based form of such reports is inconvenient and requires much time to fill in. Today, more and more construction companies turn to mobile solutions to streamline the completion and record-keeping of incident reports.

Nowadays, mobile devices are what everyone has in their pocket. Workers can instantly fill in pre-made mobile forms and generate them to the PDF reports to share with managers and any other specialists without leaving the site. Such an approach contributes to more timely and accurate data. Mobile incident reports can be added by photos and electronic signatures. Also, digital reports are always at hand and provide constant access.

The unique and affordable solutions from Snappii

Snappii has already managed to prove itself worthily in the market of mobile solutions. Besides the ready-made business feature-rich apps, we offer a form conversion solution.

Extend the Longevity of Heavy Equipment

Extend the Longevity of Heavy EquipmentHeavy equipment is crucial to a construction company’s success. It takes on the toughest jobs and speeds up the workflow. However, even the most powerful and dependable heavy equipment requires constant attention to ensure it provides a long service life and unmatched productivity. Also, it is worth noting that construction heavy equipment is extremely expensive and its repair will also cost a large sum for the company. And don’t forget about the expensive downtime. Given the facts above, professionals likely want to keep their heavy equipment running at peak efficiency for a long time. And here’s what they should do.

How to keep heavy equipment running

Heavy equipment maintenance consists of the steps to identify, fix, and prevent problems. It can be split into two different categories: preventative maintenance and reactive maintenance. Of course, it is better to be proactive when it comes to heavy equipment. Regular heavy equipment inspections help predict when failure is likely to occur, allowing professionals to find a solution to problems before they happen. However, such inspections are complicated by the fact that they occur in the field. Working with paper inspection forms and checklists in such conditions is inconvenient and unreliable. That’s why often heavy equipment inspections are postponed, poorly conducted, and contain inaccurate and untimely data.

Heavy Equipment Inspection app for paperless inspections in the field

Taking into account these difficulties, Snappii has developed a mobile solution for fast, simple, and paperless heavy equipment inspections. The Heavy Equipment Inspection app allows users to conduct detailed inspections covering each major system and component of heavy equipment. The pre-made mobile inspection form can be filled in in a few clicks on any mobile device. Indicate problems, disrepairs, malfunctions in the equipment performance, and instantly notify mechanics about maintenance issues or repair services required. As soon as the inspection form is completed, it gets saved locally on the device and there is a PDF and an Excel file generated. These files can be printed and shared via email, text message, cloud storage and other options. Watch this video to learn more about the Heavy Equipment Inspection app. The app is available in Apple App Store and Google Play.

The Heavy Equipment Inspection app can be modified if you are not completely satisfied with its ready-made version. Send us your requirements and let’s discuss the customization.
