Manufacturing templates
Plants run on checklists: a forklift check every shift, a quality check on every lot, and a report every time something goes wrong. Paper gets lost, and nobody sees the trend.
These forms run on a phone or tablet on the floor, take photos, save signatures as PDFs, and send every response to Google Sheets.

Tips for plant and safety managers
Put a QR code where the work happens
Stick a code on each forklift, machine and extinguisher, so the right checklist opens in one scan.
Make reporting quick
Keep near miss and incident forms to a few minutes on a phone, and more people will report what they see.
Close the loop
Give every corrective action an owner and a date, and share what was fixed at the next toolbox talk.
Frequently asked questions
Can workers without email use these forms?
Yes. Open the form on a shared tablet or by QR code, and ask for the worker's name or employee ID so each response and signed PDF is tied to a person.
Can I tell which machine or area a response came from?
Yes. Add a ref tag to each QR code link, or ask for the asset number, and filter responses in Google Sheets.
Are these forms a replacement for our safety program?
No. They are samples to start from. Edit the checks to match your equipment and your own safety rules.
