What is Life Raft Compliance App?

Life Raft Compliance App evidences life raft compliance check covering container condition and stowage, hydrostatic release unit and date, painter line and weak link, servicing certificate and date, and lashings and float-free arrangement, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, life raft findings live on paper and in chat. A life raft fault such as damaged container or stowage slips through. An audit then means rebuilding life raft evidence from folders.

Life Raft Compliance App keeps one record per life raft and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each life raft finding is tracked to verified closure. Deck officers and safety teams see life raft completion and overdue actions across the transport, logistics & warehousing portfolio. Every life raft record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What to Include in a Life Raft Compliance App?

A comprehensive life raft inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Track life raft compliance with SOLAS Chapter III and statutory servicing records, evidence capture, and audit-ready records. Your inspection should include sections for container condition and stowage, hydrostatic release unit and date, and painter line and weak link, 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 Life Raft Compliance App

Compliance evidence is only useful if it is complete and retrievable. Follow these steps for each compliance check:

  1. Open the life raft compliance template, mapped to SOLAS LSA code and annual servicing requirements.
  2. Check each requirement against the life raft and capture photo evidence as proof.
  3. Record the date, location, and inspector identity on every submission.
  4. Raise a corrective action for any gap and track it to verified closure.
  5. Sign off. The record is stored and exportable as an audit-ready PDF.

What Does a Life Raft Compliance Check Cover?

Life raft compliance evidences the required checks on container condition and stowage, hydrostatic release unit and date, painter line and weak link, servicing certificate and date, lashings and float-free arrangement, and SEP and cradle condition. The photos each life raft rule expects are mandatory fields. Life raft renewals are flagged before they lapse. So life raft compliance stays a documented fact, not an assurance.

What Gets Checked

  • Container condition and stowage
  • Hydrostatic release unit and date
  • Painter line and weak link
  • Servicing certificate and date
  • Lashings and float-free arrangement
  • SEP and cradle condition

Common Defects It Surfaces

  • Damaged container or stowage
  • Expired hydrostatic release
  • Incorrect painter or weak link
  • Overdue servicing
  • Lashings preventing float-free

Evidence Captured

  • Hydrostatic release photo
  • Servicing certificate photo
  • Stowage photo

Templates align to SOLAS LSA code, annual servicing requirements.

What Life Raft Teams Fix When Compliance Evidence Lives in One Place

Life Raft work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Life Raft Compliance App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.

Life Raft Compliance App: You find out about a life raft problem from a complaint

You find out about a life raft problem from a complaint

There is no live view of life raft status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the life raft is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.

Problem

  • No live view of life raft status across sites
  • Life Raft problems surface as complaints, not as data
  • Life Raft risk is invisible until it becomes an incident

Solution

  • Live multi-site dashboard of life raft completion and open issues
  • Life Raft risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
  • Configurable dashboards filter life raft results by site and date
Life Raft Compliance App: When an auditor asks for life raft records, the team scrambles

When an auditor asks for life raft records, the team scrambles

An auditor visits and asks for proof of the last six life raft checks. The records are spread across phones, drives, and a filing cabinet. Compliance is a feeling, not a fact.

Problem

  • Life Raft evidence scattered across phones and drives
  • No quick way to prove a life raft check was done
  • Life Raft statutory due dates discovered after they pass

Solution

  • One structured record per check, mapped to SOLAS LSA code and annual servicing requirements
  • Audit-ready life raft PDF export in seconds, not days
  • Life raft due dates and overdue checks flagged in advance
Life Raft Compliance App: The same life raft defect comes back every cycle

The same life raft defect comes back every cycle

Damaged container or stowage, expired hydrostatic release, incorrect painter or weak link, overdue servicing on the life raft are fixed, then reappear weeks later. Each life raft defect is treated as fresh because nobody sees it is the third time this quarter. The life raft root cause is never addressed.

Problem

  • Repeat life raft defects treated as new every time
  • No history tying findings to the same life raft
  • Budget spent re-fixing the same life raft problem

Solution

  • Full defect history per life raft
  • Recurring issue detection flags repeat life raft problems
  • Root-cause life raft work prioritised by evidence

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Life Raft Compliance App cover in a life raft compliance check?

Life Raft Compliance App keeps life raft compliance current by evidencing container condition and stowage, hydrostatic release unit and date, painter line and weak link, servicing certificate and date, and lashings and float-free arrangement. 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 life raft defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?

The compliance check targets the life raft failures that matter most: damaged container or stowage, expired hydrostatic release, incorrect painter or weak link, and overdue servicing. Left unchecked, a fault such as damaged container or stowage 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 deck officers and safety 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 Life Raft Compliance App support for life raft work?

Life Raft Compliance App keeps life raft checks aligned to SOLAS LSA code and annual servicing requirements. 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, deck officers and safety 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 life raft checks offline and across multiple sites?

Yes. Life Raft Compliance App is offline-first: teams complete life raft 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 deck officers and safety 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 life raft compliance check was completed?

Every completed life raft compliance check carries hydrostatic release photo, servicing certificate photo, and stowage photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, deck officers and safety 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.
