Abstract
The use of mobile technology is the future of conducting occupational health and safety (OHS) inspection; it addresses many current issues and streamlines the safety inspection process. Performing safety inspections in hazardous areas requires the safety inspector to carry only intrinsically safe (IS) devices certified for the hazardous area. With the introduction of smart phone and tablets, there is now a range of IS devices (Zone 1 and Zone 2) that allow mobile devices to be used in hazardous areas for safety inspections. These new IS devices allow the use of various types of more widespread mobile devices. The technology is extremely flexible and allows for inspection processes to be modified in line with new regulations, standards and organisation specific OHS needs. The benefit of using mobile devices is further clear when considering the lengthy list of new features available to the user. The possibilities through embracing the technological revolution cannot be understated.
