In the high-risk offshore industry, safety and compliance are non-negotiable. One overlooked bolt or improperly tagged shackle can cost millions—or worse, lives. That’s why having a dedicated loose equipment inspection software is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Whether you’re managing oil rigs, jack-ups, or marine vessels, digital inspections provide visibility, traceability, and control over all loose gear, preventing accidents before they happen.

The Risk: Manual Inspections Aren’t Enough

Many offshore operators still rely on spreadsheets or paper-based checklists to inspect lifting slings, shackles, chain blocks, and other loose gear. However, this outdated method is prone to:

• Human error
• Lost or incomplete records
• Missed inspection schedules
• Poor traceability and audit performance

A single missed inspection or undocumented item could result in failed audits, equipment failure, or worse—serious injury.

Example: In 2022, a Gulf-based offshore contractor was fined after an improperly inspected loose lifting sling failed during a routine lifting operation, resulting in equipment damage and project delays.

The Solution: Loose Equipment Inspection Software

Loose equipment inspection software automates and streamlines the offshore inspection process, helping offshore companies maintain safety, improve compliance, and eliminate paperwork.
