Whether it\u2019s hired or owned equipment, a quick check will help you to identify any potential issues that could impact the safety of your team or the performance of the machinery. By referring to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions and best practices, workers can make sure the machinery they have is in a safe condition to be used, and if not, the HazardCo App gives you an easy way to communicate the issues happening on the ground to the right people. When done well, pre-start checks go a long way to preventing incidents and equipment failures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>When to use the Plant\/Machinery Pre-Start tool<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Plant\/Machinery Pre-Start tool should be used before the operation of any plant or machinery. You can find it in the main menu of the HazardCo App. Once a pre-start check is completed, the report is automatically saved to the Reports section in the Hub and the App for easy access in the future. <\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b>Benefits for workers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The Plant\/Machinery Pre-Start tool provides an easy way to follow pre-start procedures. It helps you communicate any issues that need to go up the chain and make sure information isn\u2019t lost or misunderstood.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Benefits for workers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> This tool is a quicker and easier way to maintain evidence of your team&#8217;s safe work practices on-site. Anyone on-site can use the HazardCo App to complete a Plant\/Machinery pre-start, you\u2019ll be able to see it\u2019s been done, and you won\u2019t need to find and scan physical log books anymore! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The HazardCo App has a new Plant\/Machinery Pre-Start tool!
