Use Case · SHEQX®

PPE compliance that is verified on the floor, not assumed from a policy.

SHEQX® by XGRC® enables organisations to verify PPE compliance through structured, field-level inspections. Capture PPE condition, usage, and non-conformances in real time, and link every finding to corrective action and training records.

The problem

Unverified PPE compliance leaves workers exposed.

When PPE issue, condition, and usage are tracked informally, non-conformances go unnoticed and the organisation cannot demonstrate that workers were actually protected.

PPE issue and condition tracked on paper registers with no central record

Non-compliance observed but not consistently recorded or actioned

No visibility of PPE training and competency status by employee

Damaged or expired PPE not identified and replaced in time

The SHEQX® approach

A structured, repeatable PPE compliance process.

01

Define required PPE by task, role, and hazard exposure

02

Inspect PPE condition and availability using digital checklists

03

Capture usage compliance and non-conformances in the field

04

Assign corrective actions for gaps identified during inspection

05

Link PPE records to training and competency status

How it works

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

  • Digital PPE inspection checklists by task and hazard type
  • Mobile-friendly inspections in the field
  • Real-time capture of non-conformances and findings
  • Automated action assignment and tracking
  • Centralised dashboards linking PPE, training, and compliance

PPE Management, connected to the rest of SHEQ

SHEQX® PPE Management links inspection findings directly to training records and corrective actions, so a non-conforming inspection does not sit isolated from the rest of the safety programme. Leadership sees PPE compliance status across every site in real time.

From manual to SHEQX®

The same PPE checks, without the paperwork.

Manual approach
  • Paper-based PPE registers

Frequently asked

Common questions.

What is a PPE compliance checklist?

A PPE compliance checklist verifies that personal protective equipment is available, in good condition and correctly used, capturing findings from field-level inspections rather than assuming compliance from policy alone.

Does the checklist link PPE findings to training records?

Yes. PPE inspection findings link directly to training and competency records, so a worker without the required competency for a given hazard is visible alongside any equipment gap.

How are PPE non-conformances actioned?

Non-conformances identified during inspection are logged and assigned corrective actions immediately, rather than observed and left unrecorded.

Which standards does the PPE compliance checklist align to?

The checklist aligns to ISO 45001, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001, covering PPE availability, condition, usage compliance, hazard-specific requirements, training and storage.
