OSHA 1926.1412 · ASME B30.5 · OSHA 1926.1431
Daily, monthly, and annual crane inspections — mobile, crawler, tower, and overhead. Lift plans, personnel basket plans, deficiency tracking, and audit-ready PDFs in one PWA.

NOT · GENERIC
Most inspection apps are generic form builders. DigiDocs ships with the actual regulations baked in — citations on every line, frequency cadences pre-configured, and field workflows that match how an oiler or lift director actually inspects.
Daily pre-operation by competent person, monthly documented, and annual qualified-person — templates pre-mapped to OSHA 1926.1412(d), (e), and (f). Schedule each one as a recurring inspection that auto-tracks due dates by date or meter hours.
When a critical item fails, the platform prompts an explicit Operable / Non-Operable determination per OSHA 1926.1417. Non-operable equipment is flagged across the fleet dashboard and locked from new lift plans until the repair is verified.
Load weight, rigging selection, ground bearing pressure, swing radius, and an automatic critical-lift flag at 75% of capacity. Crew sign-off on the same plan; PDF export for the project file.
Operator flags a fail with a photo. Mechanic sees it on their dashboard, logs the repair, marks complete. The next operator sees the repair status inline during the next inspection — closing the loop without a paper deficiency tag.
Attach photos to any failed item. Voice and video notes capture context that doesn't fit in a comment box — useful for ambiguous wear, hydraulic leaks, or weld cracks that need second-opinion review.
Set an annual on the unit, monthly on the boom hoist, every-250-hours on a hydraulic component. The scheduler surfaces upcoming and overdue items per crane on the dashboard.
Every crane gets a 0–100 health score blending pass-rate, open deficiency load, and overdue scheduled work. Trends show which units are degrading before they fail in the field.
Installable PWA caches inspect routes and queues completed inspections locally. No signal at the top of a tower crane cab? The inspection submits when the device reconnects.
Every inspection becomes a PDF with the inspector's name, timestamp, photos, and the OSHA citation referenced. The audit log records every action — useful when OSHA, an insurer, or a GC asks for records during a project closeout.

PROCESS · 3 STEPS
Import or hand-enter your fleet. Pick the equipment type — the right OSHA / ASME templates load automatically. Assign meter fields if you bill by hours.
On their phone or tablet. Pass / Fail / N/A per item, photo capture on fails, operability determination, signature, submit. Daily takes 2–3 minutes.
Open repairs land on the mechanic dashboard with photos and operator notes. Repair logged → verified on next inspection → audit trail complete.
FAQ · BEFORE YOU ASK
OSHA 1926.1412 requires three inspection cadences: a daily/each-shift pre-operation inspection by a competent person, a monthly documented inspection, and a comprehensive annual inspection by a qualified person. DigiDocs ships all three as ready-to-use templates for mobile, crawler, and tower cranes, with the citations referenced on every form and the documentation kept indefinitely in the audit log.
Yes. We provide separate daily, monthly, and annual templates for both hammerhead (flat-top) and luffing jib tower cranes, plus inspection schedules that meter-track jacking, climbing, and erection operations. The tower crane luffing template includes the additional load-moment indicator and anti-two-block checks specific to luffing geometry.
Yes. Every inspection includes an explicit Operable / Non-Operable determination per OSHA 1926.1417. When an operator fails a critical item, the platform prompts the determination, captures photo evidence, and routes the deficiency to a mechanic — and the equipment is flagged on the fleet dashboard until the repair is verified.
Lift plans live inside the same platform: load calculation, capacity-percentage with automatic critical-lift detection at 75%, ground bearing pressure, rigging selection, and crew sign-off. Personnel basket plans implement the OSHA 1926.1431 50% derating rule automatically and require pre-lift trial-lift documentation.
Yes. The PWA caches inspect routes and queues completed inspections locally. When the device reconnects to a network the queue syncs in the background — operators in remote yards or on tower-crane cabs can complete a shift's inspections without signal and the data lands intact when they return to coverage.
There's a public REST API at /api/v1 with bearer-token authentication and an outbound webhook system for inspection-completed, deficiency-opened, and operability-determination events. The telematics adapter framework supports vendor connectors (Samsara wired in) for pulling meter hours and asset locations automatically.
