How to never get caught short when someone asks.
Sooner or later a client, principal contractor or auditor asks to see your records. Being able to show them in seconds is the difference between a smooth start and a delayed one.
Proof that your kit is in date: the six-monthly thorough examination records, current certificates, and the gear's inspection history, each tied to a specific serial number.
Attach the certificate (photo or PDF) to each item, keep records dated, and hold on to them for the retention period your work calls for. Paper in a drawer doesn't help when you're standing on site.
With Cowstail the whole register lives on your phone, so when someone asks you can show in-date kit and certificates on the spot.
