# How Do I Run Safety Checklists Before Starting Work on a Site?

You run safety checks by giving technicians a short mobile checklist for each job type, covering equipment, protective gear, site conditions, and hazards, and by requiring it to be completed before the job can be started. On **Jestor**, this runs through **Forms** linked to the service order and a rule that blocks starting until it is done.

Field work carries real risks, from electrical hazards to heights. A checklist on paper is easy to skip or fill in afterward, which means it fails exactly when it matters.

## What skipped safety checks cost

- Accidents that a simple check could have prevented
- Technicians starting work with missing protective equipment
- Hazards on site that nobody recorded
- No evidence of safety procedures if an incident occurs
- Inconsistent habits between teams

## How digital safety checklists work

- A **checklist** is attached to each job type
- The technician answers items and attaches photos when needed
- A failed critical item flags the job for supervisor review
- Completed checklists are stored with the job

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Checks happen at the right time, before work starts
- Supervisors see problems immediately
- Records show that procedures were followed
- This scales from small crews to large field operations

| Paper checklists           | Mandatory digital checklists              |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Skipped or filled in later | Completed and recorded before work starts |
