Every scaffold on the job with today's shift inspection, the competent person who made it, and the tag it carries, on one log the superintendent opens from a link.
Each date this app counts and each check it runs on a save is listed here with its source and the day we last read it. Where a rule lives in a paid standard, we cite it and keep the same facts in our own layout; we never copy the standard's text or forms.
