ABSTRACT:
A floor safety inspection system uses computer technology to document floor safety walk-around inspection tours by employees and to report the results remotely. Electronic encoding devices represent inspector identity, location and type of hazard situation encountered at the location, which are recorded to identify and remove hazards such as slip-and-fall hazards, to document safety inspections made and to provide evidentiary defense against claims and lawsuits. The system includes software, portable data collectors, electronically encoded buttons, modems, a downloading cradle, and a personal computer. A floor inspector enters his or her identity at the portable data collector, proceeds to visit encoded locations, and checks for and enters codes representing hazards encountered (and preferably also hazards that have been cleaned up). The date and time are recorded with each code. Periodically, data is collected centrally from the portable collector, which is placed in a docking cradle coupled to a modem, by polling over telephone lines (or another communications pathway) from a central computer. The data is processed to provide chronological, management, and exception reports, for auditing compliance with assigned floor inspection tours and for statistical analysis of hazards.
