OH&S checklists are quick and easy checklists that require less information compared to a risk assessment form. Checklist items may trigger a fail action (if configured) which will prompt you to complete a specific custom form as a requirement when the item is marked as 'Fail'.

Checklist items may also provide links to other types of compliance forms.

1. Go to All Forms.
2. Tap OHS Checklists.
3. Tap the name of the form that you require.
   

   Category select

   By default, OHS Checklists from all categories will display. To narrow down your search:

   - Tap Categories

   - Finally, tap the name of the form that you require.

    
4. Edit the Name / Incident: and Reported fields if needed.
5. If assets are linked to the task, select the asset this OHS checklist relates to.

   Fail action

   If configured, checklist items that have been marked as 'Fail' will trigger a fail action such as a custom form that is required to be completed in the event that the checklist item has failed. You will be automatically prompted to create the required form when you close the OHS checklist.

    
7. If signatures are required, scroll down and tap Capture Signature.
8. When the form is fully complete, change the status to Closed.
