Drill Compliance App gives drill compliance a defensible audit trail. Every check is timestamped, photo-backed, and aligned to electrical safety and PAT standards and PUWER, so an auditor sees proof in seconds instead of days. Managers see live drill compliance status and upcoming statutory due dates across every site.
Drill Compliance App evidences power tool compliance check covering casing, cable, and plug condition, guards and safety devices, chuck, bit, or blade security, trigger, lock-off, and controls, and PAT test and label, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, power tool findings live on paper and in chat. A power tool fault such as damaged cable or casing slips through. An audit then means rebuilding power tool evidence from folders.
Drill Compliance App keeps one record per power tool and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each power tool finding is tracked to verified closure. Workshop and site teams see power tool completion and overdue actions across the construction portfolio. Every power tool record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Drill Compliance App?
A comprehensive power tool inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Manage drill compliance workflows with statutory test records, evidence capture, and audit-ready documentation. Your inspection should include sections for casing, cable, and plug condition; guards and safety devices; and chuck, bit, or blade security, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Drill Compliance App
Compliance evidence is only useful if it is complete and retrievable. Follow these steps for each compliance check:
Open the drill compliance template, mapped to electrical safety and PAT standards and PUWER.
Check each requirement against the drill and capture photo evidence as proof.
Record the date, location, and inspector identity on every submission.
Raise a corrective action for any gap and track it to verified closure.
Sign off. The record is stored and exportable as an audit-ready PDF.
What Does a Power Tool Compliance Check Cover?
Power tool compliance evidences the required checks on casing, cable, and plug condition, guards and safety devices, chuck, bit, or blade security, trigger, lock-off, and controls, PAT test and label, and battery and charger where cordless. The photos each power tool rule expects are mandatory fields. Power tool renewals are flagged before they lapse. So power tool compliance stays a documented fact, not an assurance.

What Drill Teams Fix When Compliance Evidence Lives in One Place
Drill work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Drill Compliance App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Assigned contractor signs off the drill fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the drill is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the drill defect is marked closed. Whether the drill work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
Poor drill fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which drill partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any drill action is signed off
Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened drill actions linked back to the original finding
You find out about a drill problem from a complaint
There is no live view of drill status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the drill is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.
Problem
No live view of drill status across sites
Drill problems surface as complaints, not as data
Drill risk is invisible until it becomes an incident
Solution
Live multi-site dashboard of drill completion and open issues
Drill risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
Configurable dashboards filter drill results by site and date
When an auditor asks for drill records, the team scrambles
An auditor visits and asks for proof of the last six drill checks. The records are spread across phones, drives, and a filing cabinet. Compliance is a feeling, not a fact.
Problem
Drill evidence scattered across phones and drives
No quick way to prove a drill check was done
Drill statutory due dates discovered after they pass
Solution
One structured record per check, mapped to electrical safety and PAT standards and PUWER
Audit-ready drill PDF export in seconds, not days
Drill due dates and overdue checks flagged in advance
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Drill Compliance App cover in a power tool compliance check?
Drill Compliance App keeps power tool compliance current by evidencing casing, cable, and plug condition, guards and safety devices, chuck, bit, or blade security, trigger, lock-off, and controls, and PAT test and label. The photos each rule expects are mandatory fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. Renewals and statutory due dates are flagged before they lapse. If a check fails, the template opens its follow-up questions and requires photo evidence, so every gap is documented on the spot rather than reconstructed later from memory.
Which power tool defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The compliance check targets the power tool failures that matter most: damaged cable or casing, missing or defeated guards, insecure bit or blade, and trigger or lock-off faults. Left unchecked, a fault such as damaged cable or casing 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 workshop and site 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 Drill Compliance App support for power tool work?
Drill Compliance App keeps power tool checks aligned to electrical safety and PAT standards and PUWER. 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, workshop and site 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 power tool checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Drill Compliance App is offline-first: teams complete power tool 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 workshop and site 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 power tool compliance check was completed?
Every completed power tool compliance check carries cable and plug photo, guard photo, and pat label photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, workshop and site 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.
