Welcome to the CPB Contractors Digital Plant System Pre-Start and Defect Management Guide. This guide will take through how to perform Pre-Start Inspections on Project Approved assets, and how to review and manage any defects that arise when performing pre-starts. To quickly get started without having to read anything, you can check out the Operator Pre-Start Video Guide below:
By now, your asset should be approved and working on the project. The asset will need to undergo a daily pre-start safety inspection while it is working on the project to check the safe operability of the safety related systems and to ensure the asset is in full working order.
A pre-start inspection will need to be performed on each asset daily:
- Prior to use at the start of each shift, or
- Before commencing work, if a pre-start has not been completed for that shift already.
It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a pre-start to ensure the asset they are operating is in full working order, and to identify and report any faults or defects.
Registering to Perform Pre-Start Inspections
Operators will be given special access to be able to perform Pre-Start Inspections on Approved assets using the ChekRite App.
To register for access to perform Pre-Start Inspections:
- With your phone, scan the project QR code printed on the Digital Pre-Start Registration posters located around your project.If you can't find a registration poster, you can go directly to the registration page by clicking on the quick link for the project you are working on from list of Quick Links below.
- Complete the Operator Registration.
- Enter your First Name, Last Name, Email, Mobile Phone number, and the Company Name of who you are working for.
- Click Register once you have confirmed your details.
You will receive a text message shortly after submitting the registration form. It will contain a link to install the ChekRite App, a pairing code, and your ChekRite App login credentials (ID and PIN).
Performing Pre-Start Inspections
A pre-start inspection specific to the asset type must be completed daily to ensure the items continuing safety for operation. The relevant Pre-Start Safety Inspection Report will be automatically assigned based on the asset class. The inspection must be performed using the ChekRite App.
- Sign In to the ChekRite App.
- Select New Check and scan the QR code on the Authorised Plant label fitted to the asset.If there isn't a QR code sticker fitted, or it is damaged/missing and you can't scan it you can navigate to the asset via the Asset Category, Make, and Model, or search for it via the Asset Number, Unit Number or Call Sign.
- Select Checklist Category Pre-Start.
- Select the Pre-Start checklist.
- Follow the prompts to complete this check.
If no defects are identified when you complete the pre-start inspection you may operate the asset.
If defects are identified you may not be able to operate the asset depending on the severity of the defect, or until the defect is resolved.
Managing Defects
A defect, or Issue is an item that has been marked as failed on a checklist that will need to be resolved. Issues allow projects and suppliers to keep a full audit history of issues that were raised for an asset and how the issues were resolved.
If when performing a pre-start inspection you identify a defect, by either failing or answering no to one of the checklist questions, that checklist item will flag as an issue. In most cases you will need to take a photo of the issue, and provide some brief information via voice recording as to the nature or severity of it.
Items are weighted and the outcome of the pre-start is classified according to how serious an issue might be considered and what immediate action needs to be taken with the asset.
Do Not Operate | Asset MUST NOT BE OPERATED before issues / defects identified in the pre-start are rectified. |
Authorisation Required to Operate | Supervisor sign-off required prior to being allowed to operate. Issues / defects will be passed onto the project plant team for review and action. |
Corrective Action Required | Asset may be operated. Issues / defects identified in the pre-start will be passed onto the project plant team for review and action. |
Review Defect Status
If a defect is identified during a pre-start, in all cases, the project team will be notified and the defect will be backlogged for review and action. You will be able to check the status of the defect at anytime directly from the ChekRite App:
- Sign In to the ChekRite App
- Select Issues.
- Select Raised by Me.
