To **manage safety equipment inventory for construction crews**, keep stock of helmets, gloves, harnesses and other protective equipment with minimum levels, record every item issued to each worker with date and size, and track replacements and inspections.

In **Jestor**, stock, workers and issued items are connected, so every worker has the right equipment and the company has records.

## Why is safety equipment hard to control?

Protective equipment is issued informally, sizes run out and nobody knows when items were last replaced.

Workers arrive on site without the right equipment, and the company cannot prove what was provided.

Harnesses and similar items may need periodic inspection.

## What problems does safety inventory tracking solve?

- Workers without required equipment
- Sizes out of stock
- No record of equipment issued
- Equipment used beyond its useful life
- No proof for inspections or audits

## How do I manage safety equipment in Jestor?

1. **Create a stock table** with item, size, quantity and minimum level.
2. **Record issues** to workers with date, item and signature or confirmation.
3. **Track replacement dates** for items with limited life.
4. **Record inspections** for harnesses and similar equipment.
5. **Create purchase requests** when stock falls below the minimum.

| Item         | Tracked data                 |
| ------------ | ---------------------------- |
| Helmet       | Issue date, replacement date |
| Gloves       | Size, quantity issued        |
| Harness      | Inspection dates             |
| Safety boots | Size, issue date             |

## How do records help with compliance?

Issue records show which equipment each worker received and when.

This evidence supports internal audits and inspections.

## Why use Jestor for safety equipment?

Sizes deserve special attention. Recording each worker's sizes for boots, gloves and clothing helps purchasing order the right quantities and avoids workers using equipment that does not fit properly.
