Life Raft Inspection App runs structured life raft inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each life raft, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see life raft compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
Life Raft Inspection App runs a structured life raft inspection 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 Inspection 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 Inspection App?
A comprehensive life raft inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect life rafts with structured canister, hydrostatic-release, and servicing-date checks plus defect logging. 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 Inspection App
A consistent routine keeps life raft inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned life raft template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, life raft, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the life raft.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially damaged container or stowage, expired hydrostatic release, incorrect painter or weak link, overdue servicing.
For every failed life raft item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the life raft form. The life raft report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does a Life Raft Inspection Cover?
A life raft inspection covers 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. Deck officers and safety teams capture photo evidence on each life raft point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the life raft round off. So every life raft record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What Life Raft Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
Life Raft work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Life Raft Inspection App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
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 checks signed off on paper with no proof the life raft was actually checked
A life raft inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the life raft was actually checked, and whether damaged container or stowage, expired hydrostatic release, incorrect painter or weak link, overdue servicing were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the life raft passed.
Problem
Life Raft checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
No way to confirm damaged container or stowage, expired hydrostatic release, incorrect painter or weak link, overdue servicing were actually inspected
Life Raft findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay
Solution
One digital life raft form with required fields and validation
Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every life raft check
Life Raft findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
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 Inspection App check on a life raft inspection?
Life Raft Inspection App runs a structured life raft inspection 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. Each point is captured on mobile with photo evidence against it, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so deck officers and safety teams work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.
Which life raft defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection 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 Inspection App support for life raft work?
Life Raft Inspection 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 Inspection 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 inspection was completed?
Every completed life raft inspection 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.
