Pre-Start Checklists – allows for an initial checklist that must be completed prior to anything further being done eg, user signs off that they read and understood the Hazards before proceeding with the job.
Checklists – mandatory or optional checklists and data capture. A checklist is a pre-defined list of questions or pointers to guide a user and ensure that employees follow a disciplined and consistent process.
Conditional Checklists – can be used to help employees follow a pre-defined process to carry out tasks such as business processes, problem diagnosis, compliance certifications, quality assurance and so on. Conditional Checklists make the process dynamic. Depending on the answers to the preceding questions, the Conditional Checklist can take a variety of paths so that the relevant set of questions are asked and responded to, according to the actual situation. The checklist can finish with a 'Pass' or 'Fail' result.
