If it is your responsibility to keep the data sheets up to date when the government inspector comes knocking you’d better be ready. Formbird; Australia's own low-code platform saved the day when it came time to build a quick inspections app.

Bundaberg Regional Council Water Services had an upcoming hazardous chemical compliance assessment. An inspector came to see all their safety data sheets. The information was in a legacy system that needed to be made current.

Bundaberg Regional Council had to get an updated list of the chemicals. They had to respond to the request within the week.

They quickly made a form in Formbird and pushed it out to all the teams. The field teams went out and captured the detail of every chemical they had stored, including adding photos and then generated the report.

They can now use this new tool to inspect and build a process to keep the hazardous materials register up to date.

Bundaberg Regional Council was able to turn this around in under a week, getting the data sheets up to date and having a new tool to do it.

The information captured was a crucial step in meeting the recommendations by the auditors.

Thanks to Sean Askew, the Network Planning Engineer (Water Services) at Bundaberg Regional Council, for his assistance in preparing this article. We look forward to hearing more from Sean soon.
