Jordan Millar Updated by Jordan Millar

Welcome to the CPB Contractors Digital Plant System Supplier Guide. This guide will take you through the steps involved in the digital asset onboarding process. Completing the Submitting an Asset to a Project section of this guide will enable you to get your assets approved for a project effortlessly. We highly recommend watching the Supplier Video Guide first, to get a comprehensive overview of the system and processes. If you’re short on time, you can watch the Quick Start Video Guide. There is also a tutorial available in the ChekRite Portal that should be completed before doing anything else.

Feel free to use the Table of Contents on the right-hand side to jump to the relevant section for you.

Quick Start Video Guide

Submitting an Asset to a Project

To begin working on a project assets must be onboarded to ensure that they have the capability to perform their intended purpose. The digital asset onboarding process will confirm, prior to acceptance and commencement of work on a project, that an asset is fit for purpose as per applicable legislation, associated standards, and manufacturer requirements.

The below images outline each step in the asset submission process and is a good visual reference to return to if you get stuck. There is also a reference to the project asset review process which the project goes through with each asset, to give you a general understanding of what happens after you submit an asset. 

Adding a New Asset

To begin the supplier asset submission process you will need to add assets to the ChekRite Portal. You will only have to add each of your companies owned assets to the ChekRite Portal once. Once an asset has been added it will remain listed, unless it is Archived.

  1. Go to Organisation > Assets.
  2. Click on Add New Asset.
  3. Enter the Asset Number.
  4. Select Asset Class.
    If you cannot find an applicable asset class you can use the Advanced Search to search for something suitable, or Request Asset Class
  5. Click Save.

The asset will now appear on devices that have the ChekRite App installed and paired.

When naming your asset, you can use the asset number, unit number, or call-sign that you normally identify the asset by (e.g. excavator EX-001). ChekRite automatically adds your assigned supplier prefix (e.g. ABC for ABC Equipment Hire) to the beginning of the asset number to keep asset numbers unique across suppliers (e.g. excavator EX-001 becomes ABC-EX-001).

Adding Asset Documents

You are required to load certain documents for assets into the ChekRite Portal so that they can be verified. A list of documents required by asset category can be found here:

Documents Required by Asset Category

To add a document to an asset:

  1. Go to Organisation > Assets > Find and select the asset you want to add a document to.
  2. Click on the Asset Documents tab.
  3. Click on Add New Document.
  4. Enter the relevant document information (name, type, and start/expiry date at minimum).
  5. Upload the document attachment.
  6. Click Save.

Completing Checklists

Asset onboarding checklists must be completed using the ChekRite App to record and declare that an asset is fit for purpose as per applicable legislation, associated standards, manufacturer requirements, and project specific requirements.

Plant Risk Assessment Review Form

Complete the Plant Risk Assessment Review checklist on the ChekRite App with the associated Plant Risk Assessment handy. This review is to ensure the associated risks of operating the asset have been identified in the Plant Risk Assessment uploaded to the ChekRite Portal, and identified controls have been implemented. 

  1. Sign In to the ChekRite App. 
  2. Select New Check and navigate to or search for the asset.
    You can search for an asset via it's asset number.
  3. Select Checklist Category 1. Mandatory Forms.
  4. Select the Plant Risk Assessment Review checklist.
  5. Follow the prompts to complete this check.

You will be required to indicate whether a hazard exists in operational activities, maintenance activities, or both, and whether the risk assessment addresses the hazard. Operation refers to the machine functions in general, and does not consider a specific task or environment. This means you should only have one Plant Risk Assessment per asset.

If a risk assessment does not meet requirements, corrective actions must be addressed before the asset can be approved for use. An authorised project plant representative will review the completed forms to ensure the risk assessment & risk review conforms to the relevant Code. 

For more detailed explanations of hazards refer to Code of Practice – Managing Risks of Plant in the Workplace (Safe Work Australia) or Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (WorkSafe New Zealand).
Clean Down Declaration

Prior to the asset arriving or departing from site, all vehicles, machinery and equipment shall be cleaned and visually free of plant matter, soil/mud and fire ants (in QLD). After cleaning and a thorough inspection has been performed, complete this checklist using the ChekRite App. 

  1. Sign In to the ChekRite App. 
  2. Select New Check and navigate to or search for the asset.
  3. Select Checklist Category 1. Mandatory Forms.
  4. Select the Plant and Equipment Clean Down Declaration checklist.
  5. Follow the prompts to complete this check.
This declaration is a legal requirement, refer to the projects relevant State Agricultural Authority for more information.
Asset Inspection

An asset inspection specific to the asset type is to be completed to ensure the item is safe for operation. The relevant Asset Inspection Report will be assigned based on the asset class (Make & Model). E.g, a CAT 325 excavator will have a Mobile Plant Asset Inspection Report assigned; A Franna MAC25 will have a Mobile Crane Asset Inspection Report assigned. The inspection must be performed using the ChekRite App while physically at the machine.

You will need access to the asset to complete this checklist.
  1. Sign In to the ChekRite App. 
  2. Select New Check and navigate to or search for the asset.
  3. Select Checklist Category 2. Asset Inspection.
  4. Select the Asset Inspection checklist. 
  5. Follow the prompts to complete this check.
Submit Asset

To submit an asset to a project, this checklist must be completed. It shall not be attempted until all other checklists have been completed and mandatory asset documents have been uploaded. The Submit Asset checklist must be completed using the ChekRite App:

  1. Sign In to the ChekRite App. 
  2. Select New Check and navigate to or search for the asset.
  3. Select Checklist Category 3. Review and Submit.
  4. Select the Submit Asset checklist. 
  5. Follow the prompts to complete this check.
What Happens Next?

Pending: Once you have completed the Submit Asset checklist, the project status will change to Pending.

In Review: The project plant team will be automatically notified of the asset submission, which will be reviewed by an authorised project plant representative. The authorised project plant representative will check that the asset documents and checklists are acceptable and meet the project’s standards. Once your submission has been reviewed the project status will change to In Review.

If the submission is accepted, the asset will need to be physically inspected and verified by an authorised project plant representative. Your company's nominated administrator will be automatically notified, via email, when the submission is accepted. Please follow the instructions in the email to make arrangements to have a physical inspection performed by an authorised project plant representative.

Approved: If the asset passes the physical inspection, the asset will need final approval to begin work on the project. If the asset passes all project standards, the asset will be approved for use on the project, your company's nominated administrator will be notified via email, and the project status will change to Approved.

Rejected: If for any reason the submission is not accepted, or the asset fails to meet project standards it will be rejected, your company's nominated administrator will receive an email notification, and the project status will change to Rejected. An exception report will be attached to the email notification identifying any issues. The issues will need to be rectified and the asset resubmitted.

Project Status

You can check the project status of assets that have been submitted to projects at any time. The information is available via the Asset Approvals page on the ChekRite Portal home page. To check assets via tha Approvals page:

  1. Go to Approvals > Asset Approvals > Find the asset you want to check the project status off.
  2. Confirm the Project Name in the Project Name column, or apply a filter, and go across to Project Status column to see the project status of the asset.

You may also find the projects an asset has been submitted to, and the status for each directly from the Assets page, to see what projects a particular asset has been submitted to:

  1. Go to Organisation > Assets > Find and select the asset you want to check project submissions for.
  2. Click on the Project Submissions tab to view projects to which the asset has been submitted to.

Assets may have any of the following Project Statuses throughout the onboarding process – Pending, In Review, Approved, Rejected.

Each pairing code can only be used once. A new device will require a unique pairing code. A new user will require their own credentials and subsequent device with unique pairing code

Adding a New Device

Every mobile device that wants to access the CPB Contractors Digital Plant System must be uniquely registered. This includes new devices if you are upgrading or replacing an old, already registered device, or additional devices (e.g. you want to register a tablet if you already have a phone registered). To add a new device you must have Site Manager access, and the user accessing that device must already be setup. Go to the ChekRite Portal to add and manage devices.

  1. Go to Organisation > Devices.
  2. Click on Add New Device.
  3. Enter the Device Name (e.g. John Smith's iPad).
  4. Click on Generate Pairing code.
  5. Enable Send User Welcome Letter if you would like to send the pairing code directly to the user.
    1. Select the user to assign the device to and select how you want to issue the welcome letter (email or sms).
      The user must already be setup - follow the instructions for Adding a New User if they are not.
  6. Click Save

Setting Up a Subcontractor

Subcontractors are not granted their own CPB Contractors Digital Plant System access unless they have prior approval. Assets need to be onboarded through the primary contractor that has the contract directly with the project.

To setup your subcontractors and their assets:

  • Add subcontractor users to your site, refer to the Adding a New User section of this guide.
  • Select a role appropriate to the level of access that you want your subcontractor to have over your site. We recommend Site Asset Manager.
  • Subcontractors then follow the Supplier Asset Submission Process to onboard any of their assets.
If you give subcontractors access to the ChekRite Portal they will be able to view and manage your assets as well as their own.
If you require a subcontractor to have their own supplier registration, please seek approval from the project.

Reissuing Device Pairing Code

Once a device pairing code has been issued, you have 7 days to pair your device. If you miss this window, you can reissue a pairing code through the ChekRite Portal.

  1. Go to Organisation > Devices.
  2. Find and select the Expired device.
  3. Click on Pairing Code.
  4. Click on Share Pairing Code if you would like to automatically send the new pairing code directly to the user.
    1. Select the user to assign the device to and select how you want to issue the welcome letter (email or sms).
  5. Click Save.

If a device that is already registered is asking for a new pairing code, follow the steps above, however, when you find and select the affected device you may have to Unregister Device before Step 3.

Installing ChekRite App

Here is a video that you can share with your users to show them how to download and install the ChekRite App.

Receiving ChekRite App Pairing Code and Employee Credentials

How long does it take for the project to approve my submission?

The project plant team will aim to review your submission as soon as possible. You should be allowing at least 5 business days for the entire process - from adding the asset to approval. The submission approval process will be accelerated if all requirements are met upon asset submission. If the approval is urgent (meaning same day approval required), please contact the project plant team directly.

What if my asset is rejected?

Your company's nominated administrator will receive an email with actions to complete, and the project status will change to Rejected. There will be an exception report attached to the email, which will outline failed items in RED and the 🔊 speaker symbol will link to an audio message for further information. Please correct all issues and resubmit using the Submit Asset checklist under checklist category 3. Review & Submit in the ChekRite App.

What if I can't find the Asset Class (Make Model) for my asset?

If your asset class is not listed, you can use the Advanced Search to try and narrow down to find another one suitable, sometimes it can just be the series name for that model e.g. if your asset is a Hino 500 FM 2628, you could add this under Hino 500 FM. 

If you still can’t find a suitable asset class, you can request a new one using the Request Asset Class option. Select from the list of Asset Categories available and enter your full machine details (Make and Model). 

The CPB - ChekRite Admin team will review the request and make available a new asset class for you to add and submit your asset to as soon as possible.

If the asset class you are trying to add is not displaying you can use the Advanced Search to narrow down your search by Asset Category, Asset Class (make), and Asset Sub-Class (model), to see if there isn’t something already available to add your asset under. If you still can’t find a suitable Asset Class, a Request Asset Class option will display. 

Request Asset Class

If you still can’t find a suitable asset class for your asset using the Advanced Search, a Request Asset Class option will display. Click on this option and follow these steps to add a new one: 

  1. Confirm your email address and mobile number (so that we can contact you about the request).
  2. Select the Asset Category for your asset (you must select one from the list available).
  3. Select from the available Asset Classes already under that category. If there isn’t one available type in the Make of the asset (e.g. Toyota).
  4. Type in the Asset Sub-Class field the Model of the asset (e.g. Hilux).
  5. Click Send.

A New Asset Class Request email will automatically be sent to the CPB Digital Plant team, and you will receive a notification with the details of the request. We will review and action the request. Requests will typically be fulfilled in the same business day when made during our support hours.

What documentation is required for the different types of assets?

You can see the documentation requirements for the different categories of assets here.

What if I don't have one of the required documents?

If you submit your asset for approval without the required documents, your submission will not be accepted, and subsequently your asset will not be approved for site operation. These are not only project requirements but federal safety requirements too. If there are circumstances where the required document is unobtainable please contact the relevant Project Plant Team to discuss.

What if the available Asset Inspection is not relevant to my asset?

If you believe the assigned checklist is not accurate, please contact the Live Chat for assistance.

What do I do if my approved asset has new/additional attachments?

If you have a new or additional equipment attachment for an already approved asset, the attachment will need to be inspected and approved. You will need to contact the authorised project plant representative for the project the asset is approved for to facilitate the addition of an attachment. You will also need to ensure the appropriate documentation is available for the attachment. You will need to ensure there is an operating manual available in the machine cab, and a separate Plant Risk Assessment or updated Plant Risk Assessment that identifies all control measures for the attachment.

I'm setting up a new user – What is the Employee ID?

An employee ID and PIN are a minimum mandatory requirement for ChekRite App users. The user will require a unique employee ID to log in to the app. We recommend something memorable: the last 6 digits of the user’s mobile number is typically unique and easy to remember.

My pairing code has expired – How do I get another one?

For security reasons, the pairing code is automatically expired after 7 days. If you have ChekRite Portal access, you have all the tools to reissue a new pairing code. See the section: Reissuing Device Pairing Code.

If you don’t have ChekRite Portal access, please request this from your company’s nominated administrator. If you are unsure who that is, please contact the Live Chat.

Where can I find my ChekRite App login Credentials?

Your ChekRite App login credentials may have been issued to you via email, text or as a link in your “Welcome to ChekRite” administrator email package. Please see the section: Receiving ChekRite App Pairing Code and Employee Credentials.

If you have forgotten your details and have access to the ChekRite Portal, you can retrieve them via your user page. 

  • Go Organisations > Users > Find and select yourself.
  • Click on Modify User.
  • Find the ChekRite App Credentials tab.
  • From here you can retrieve your Employee ID, if you have forgotten your pin you can reset it by retyping your current pin.
  • Click Save.

There is also an Forgot Employee ID and Forgot PIN reminder tools availabile in the ChekRite App for you to try to recover your credentials.

How do I get a subcontractor added to ChekRite?
