Compactor Audit App turns compactor audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each compactor against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare compactor audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Compactor Audit App runs a scored compactor audit covering hydraulic pack, rams, and leaks, charge chamber and packing plate, door and access interlocks, emergency stops and controls, and bin coupling and locking, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, compactor findings live on paper and in chat. A compactor fault such as hydraulic leaks and ram faults slips through. An audit then means rebuilding compactor evidence from folders.
Compactor Audit App keeps one record per compactor and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each compactor finding is tracked to verified closure. Waste and facilities teams see compactor completion and overdue actions across the construction portfolio. Every compactor record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Compactor Audit App?
A comprehensive compactor audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit compactor programmes with structured findings, weighted scoring, and verified closure across project sites. Your audit should include sections for hydraulic pack, rams, and leaks; charge chamber and packing plate; and door and access interlocks, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.
How to Use Compactor Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a compactor audit:
Open the compactor audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each compactor against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall compactor score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed compactor criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the compactor audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does a Compactor Audit Cover?
A compactor audit scores condition against PUWER machinery guarding and waste handling standards, checking hydraulic pack, rams, and leaks, charge chamber and packing plate, door and access interlocks, emergency stops and controls, bin coupling and locking, and guards and warning signs. Each compactor finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the compactor audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

Common Defects It Surfaces
Hydraulic leaks and ram faults
Packing plate wear

How Compactor Audit App Scores a Compactor Audit
Step 1
Score Consistently
Weighted criteria are built into the compactor audit template.
Step 2
Evidence Every Finding
Auditors attach photo proof for each compactor non-conformance.
Step 3
Compare and Act
Scorecards rank sites and failed compactor criteria become corrective actions.

What Compactor Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Compactor work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Compactor Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Compactor data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat
Some compactor records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the compactor, so every compactor question takes an hour and three people to answer.
Problem
Compactor records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
No single trusted version of the compactor record
Answering a simple compactor question takes hours
Solution
One system of record for every compactor check and finding
Every compactor photo and action tied to its record
Search any site or compactor and get an answer instantly
Every auditor scores the compactor audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The compactor audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Compactor scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Compactor sections get skipped with no record
Compactor scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted compactor criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory compactor sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable compactor scores that roll up across the estate
Assigned contractor signs off the compactor fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the compactor is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the compactor defect is marked closed. Whether the compactor work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
Poor compactor fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which compactor partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any compactor action is signed off
Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened compactor actions linked back to the original finding
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Compactor Audit App check on a compactor audit?
Compactor Audit App runs a scored compactor audit against PUWER machinery guarding and waste handling standards, checking hydraulic pack, rams, and leaks, charge chamber and packing plate, door and access interlocks, emergency stops and controls, and bin coupling and locking. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for waste and facilities teams rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.
Which compactor defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the compactor failures that matter most: hydraulic leaks and ram faults, packing plate wear, door interlock defeat, and emergency stop failure. Left unchecked, a fault such as hydraulic leaks and ram faults can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so waste and facilities teams fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Compactor Audit App support for compactor work?
Compactor Audit App keeps compactor checks aligned to PUWER machinery guarding and waste handling standards. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, waste and facilities teams pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run compactor checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Compactor Audit App is offline-first: teams complete compactor checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So waste and facilities teams get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a compactor audit was completed?
Every completed compactor audit carries hydraulic leak photo, interlock test note, and packing plate photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, waste and facilities teams can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
