Use Case · SHEQX®

Equipment safety inspections that catch guarding and isolation failures before they cause harm.

SHEQX® by XGRC® enables organisations to perform structured equipment safety inspections using practical, real-world checklists. Verify guarding, lockout/tagout, and maintenance status in the field, and track every defect through to closure.

The problem

Inconsistent equipment checks create serious injury risk.

When guarding, lockout/tagout, and maintenance checks are paper-based, defects are missed and equipment can return to service without the fault being resolved.

Machine guarding and isolation checks performed inconsistently across sites

Maintenance and statutory inspection records kept in disconnected systems

Equipment defects identified but not tracked through to resolution

Limited visibility of operator competency against equipment in use

The SHEQX® approach

A structured, repeatable equipment inspection process.

01

Inspect machine guarding and isolation points using digital checklists

02

Verify lockout/tagout and zero-energy states before maintenance

03

Capture defects and safety device faults in real time

04

Assign corrective actions and take non-conforming equipment out of service

05

Track statutory inspection and maintenance records to closure

How it works

Built for inspectors in the field, visible to maintenance and safety leaders.

  • Digital equipment inspection checklists by machine type
  • Mobile-friendly inspections in the field
  • Real-time capture of defects and safety device faults
  • Action tracking and escalation for overdue repairs
  • Centralised dashboards and maintenance history

From defect to closure in one system.

SHEQX® links equipment inspection findings to Non-Conformance Management and Calibration records, so a guarding or lockout defect is tracked from identification through to verified repair. Management gets a live view of equipment safety status across every site.

From manual to SHEQX®

The same equipment checks, without the paperwork.

Manual approach
  • Paper-based equipment inspection forms
  • Maintenance records kept separately from inspections
  • Defects identified but not tracked to closure
SHEQX® approach
  • Digital equipment inspections in the field
  • Maintenance and inspection records in one place
  • Every defect tracked to verified closure

Frequently asked

Common questions.

What is an equipment safety inspection checklist?

An equipment safety inspection checklist verifies machine guarding, lockout/tagout and maintenance status in the field, so a guarding failure or an isolation gap is caught before equipment causes harm.

Does the checklist cover lockout/tagout verification?

Yes. Lockout/tagout and zero-energy states are verified before maintenance work begins, alongside machine guarding and safety device checks.

What happens to equipment defects found during inspection?

Defects and safety device faults are captured in real time, corrective actions are assigned, and non-conforming equipment can be taken out of service until the defect is resolved.

Does this connect to maintenance and calibration records?

Yes. SHEQX® links equipment inspection findings to non-conformance management and calibration records, so a defect is tracked from identification through to verified repair rather than sitting isolated from maintenance history.
