Equipment Pre-Use Inspection App
An equipment pre-use inspection app for oil & gas operators — cranes, hydraulic units, well service rigs, and vacuum trucks. Every pre-shift inspection becomes a timestamped, operator-signed record aligned with OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC and API RP 54.
- Crane / lift pre-use: load chart, outriggers, hydraulic fluid, certification check
- Well service rig pre-shift: fire suppression, safety devices, ground conditions
- Operator signature on the device: attribution and timestamp on every record

Pre-Shift Equipment Inspections
Pre-use inspection form signed by operator
Hydraulic fluid level — Within operating range
Safety devices and guards — Installed and secure
Load chart posted in cab/operator position
Ground conditions assessed — Stable
Issue → corrective action created

Paper inspection workflows break under field pressure.
The risk is rarely the checklist itself. It is missing context, missing ownership, and missing evidence when a regulator, operator, or customer asks for the record.
Failure point 1: Paper loses the field context
The field record needs photos, timestamps, operator attribution, and location context in one place. Paper splits that evidence across binders, phones, and memory.
Failure point 2: Failed items do not get owned
A checked box can show that a problem existed, but it rarely assigns the corrective action, due date, and follow-up trail needed to prove the issue was closed.
Failure point 3: Audit requests turn into searches
When someone asks for OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC documentation, crews should export the record, not hunt through truck folders, scanned PDFs, or spreadsheets.
The pre-use inspection an operator finishes before they're rigged up
Pre-use inspections are the highest-volume safety document in any oilfield operation — and the most commonly skipped. BasinCheck makes them quick on a phone and defensible the moment they're signed.
- Crane / lift pre-use: load chart, outriggers, hydraulic fluid, certification check
- Well service rig pre-shift: fire suppression, safety devices, ground conditions
- Operator signature on the device: attribution and timestamp on every record
- Maintenance hand-off: failed items become tracked corrective actions with named owner

Features Built for Pre-Shift Reality
Operator signatures, certification checks, and maintenance hand-off in one offline-capable mobile app.
Pre-shift equipment templates
Pre-built templates for cranes, hydraulic units, well service rigs, and vacuum trucks.
Operator e-signature capture
Operator signs the pre-use record on the device — defensible attribution for every shift.
Load chart & certification check
Confirm load chart is posted and operator certification is current before equipment is released.
Offline at remote sites
Run pre-use inspections at remote pads with no cell coverage — auto-sync when back in range.
Auto-issue on failed items
A failed outrigger, low hydraulic fluid, or expired fire suppression tag creates a tracked corrective action.
Photo evidence on damage
Item-level photos for hydraulic leaks, missing guards, or damaged rigging gear.

Compliance gaps become expensive when the record is weak.
OSHA 1926 Subpart CC governs cranes and derricks in construction — including oilfield service — and requires documented pre-shift inspections. API RP 54 addresses occupational safety practice for well drilling and servicing operations.
- Pre-shift crane and lift inspection records
- Operator certification verification on each inspection
- Documented defect tracking and corrective action close-out
Why BasinCheck vs. Generic Inspection Apps
Generic Apps
- No Subpart CC pre-shift template
- Operator certification not verified at point of use
- No structured defect-to-maintenance hand-off
- Inspections sit on paper in the cab
BasinCheck for Equipment
- Subpart CC and API RP 54 templates built-in
- Operator certification check on signature
- Failed items auto-create maintenance tickets
- One PDF per pre-shift — defensible by design
