| Once the appliances have been tested, and the test tags
have been affixed, the tracking, management and maintenance
of the appliances can commence. One click reporting is available,
with impressive PDF/Fax/Email reports created including Failed
Items Reports, Asset Register Reports, Client Reports and
Complete Service History Reports.
Works Orders can be created and Maintenance Tasks or Scheduled
Testing can be setup to be performed. Reminders are sent via
email and SMS to the relevant contractors/maintenance personnel
to remind them to complete scheduled as well as to notify
them of overdue Work Orders and Tests. Notes, images and other
data can be attached to the Work Orders and Tests, providing
an invaluable management system.
In this manner, the CMO COMPLIANCE™ Software - Web/Mobile,
solution will ensure compliance and increase the efficiency
of your organization.
Electrical Appliance Testing is a critical and indeed compulsory
process for many industries such as the construction industry.
With Mobile CMO COMPLIANCE™ Software - Web/Mobile, this
process can be managed very efficiently, testing and tagging
the required electrical appliances, and recording the details
with a handheld device running the Mobile CMO COMPLIANCE™,
the Compliance Management software.
The requirement to keep hard copies of these records is simply
facilitated by the web based reporting component of CMO COMPLIANCE™
Software - Web/Mobile, that allows PDF reports containing
Site/Location/Serial Number/Description and Testing details
for every electrical appliance to be printed, faxed, or emailed
in PDF format direct from the application.
This use of Mobile CMO COMPLIANCE™ Software - Web/Mobile,
is mandated in certain jurisdictions by the recent introduction
of industrial manslaughter regulations, and penalties ranging
up to $1million for corporations and individuals responsible
for the management of the organizations in certain circumstances
where there has been a breach of occupational health and safety
regulations. Under the new regulations, electrical appliance
testing must occur every 1 month on building sites in NSW,
and every 2 months in Victoria. Mobile CMO COMPLIANCE™
Software - Web/Mobile, will provide a cost effective means
to comply with these regulations.
