YOUR WORK. ON THEIR PHONE.
A clear next task.
Not another pile of paper.
A damaged tool trolley, an obstructed route or equipment that needs attention can get buried under the next job. CheckControl gives those findings a written record, a named reporter and an action your manager can follow.
Workshop opening
Check access routes, general housekeeping and work-area readiness before the day gets busy.
Tools & equipment
Build condition checks for the equipment your team uses. Photograph defects and record the location and context.
Housekeeping & closing
Give end-of-day checks a clear owner, including storage, work-area condition and your agreed shutdown procedures.
Reported damage
Let staff report an issue when they find it, even when it is outside a scheduled checklist.
THE PHOTO. THE PERSON. THE FOLLOW-UP.
A fault needs an owner—not a passing mention.
“Visible damage to the outer insulation on an unplugged tool lead.”

IMMEDIATE ACTION
Tool kept disconnected, taken out of service and labelled for authorised inspection.

Inspect the workshop issues →TEACH THE CHECK. NOT JUST THE TICK.
Put your approved pre-use procedure beside the check.
Build a lesson from your own procedure. Assign it to the right people. Check understanding and record practical assessment separately.

PROCEDURE PREVIEW
Preparing a workshop bay
- 1
Review the job allocation, handover and restrictions before starting work.
- 2
Check the bay floor, access route and surrounding work area for obstructions or spills.
- 3
Visually inspect tools and equipment against the approved pre-use checklist. Only trained staff may operate lifting equipment.
WHEN SOMEONE ASKS “WAS IT DONE?”
Open the record.
Keep the context.
Find the date and staff member, read the answers and inspect the photos. Export daily, weekly, monthly or yearly records as PDF or Excel.
Records of the work your team submits—not a guarantee of safety or compliance.

START SMALL. MAKE IT PART OF THE SHIFT.
Your first routine.
Then the rest.
Set your checks
Choose your questions and instructions. Set the standards your team should follow.
Give staff their work
Add your team, assign routines to shifts and roles, and link the relevant learning.
Review what matters
See submitted and missed work. Follow up the exceptions with the evidence in front of you.
Choose one workshop routine first. Add your work areas, equipment-condition questions and team, then agree who reviews new faults and owns the follow-up.
A GOOD FIT FOR YOUR BUSINESS?
The useful details.
Operational checks and follow-up—not vehicle diagnostics, MOT certification or garage job management.
Is this a garage booking or vehicle-diagnostics system?
CheckControl covers operational checks, evidence and issue follow-up. Use your existing systems for bookings, vehicle diagnostics, MOT records and repair-job management.
Can we photograph damage during a check?
Yes. Staff can attach photo evidence and an explanation to a finding. Managers can review the record and download the relevant PDF.
Can someone else take responsibility for the repair?
Managers can assign issue responsibility, record the next action and set a due date. The person carrying out the work still needs to follow your workshop procedures.
Can we review the workshop week by week?
Yes. Choose a weekly or monthly report to review submitted routines, missed work, failed answers and reported issues. The interactive report also lets you drill into individual days and staff.
