Each specific checklist has all the submissions to it similar to Incidents and Risks.

How to Create a Checklist

Within Safe365 you can create Checklists for anything you require. These can be daily vehicle or machinery checklists, or monthly office or safety checks, through to inductions.

Checklists can be completed from the Safe365 app, and can be accessed from within the app, or via QR codes.
