Defect Status Summary
When adding a defect you must select a defect status, this will determine the outcome of the inspection and which follow up actions are required. See the status breakdowns and their follow up actions below.
Fixed:
This records the defect has been fixed by the inspector, after you submit the inspection, you will be asked to record which contact at the customer has been made aware of this.
Remains:
This status denotes that the defect is still present but doesn’t present a risk to users of the scaffold and the scaffold can remain in use. When you submit an inspection with a defect listed under this status you will be prompted to record the client contact it’s been reported to, your recommendations and complete a remedial action report.
Unsafe:
When you record a defect with the status unsafe, you are failing the scaffold inspection and marking it as unsafe until the defect is rectified. For scaffold inspections with unsafe defects the signature screen will highlight Red and you will be required to record the client contact the defects have been reported to, your recommendations and complete a remedial action report. You will also be able to produce an unsafe scaffold report (unlike normal inspection reports these send immediately and require client sign off).
