Inspection Checklist
Risk Score Engine
Job Site Cleared
In short
FreshStaff for manufacturing staffing logs safety inspections per client plant with a checklist that feeds a risk score, tracks equipment (forklifts, tools, PPE) assigned to a job order with per-item status, and lets a course be marked required for placement so a worker cannot be placed until it is complete. Base fee is $149/month with unlimited free Internal Team Seats; usage is $6/month per Active Placement.
Where Generic Staffing Software Breaks Down
Three problems that generic ATS software and legacy per-seat platforms consistently get wrong on a production floor.
Safety Inspection Tracking & Audit Readiness
The Problem
Plant safety walkthroughs get logged on paper or in a spreadsheet no one reconciles. When a client asks for inspection history during an audit, someone spends a day reconstructing it, and a flagged item from three weeks ago never got resolved.
The FreshStaff Fix
Inspections are logged per client site with a structured checklist. A flagged item automatically feeds into that client's risk score, so a pattern of safety issues surfaces before it becomes an incident, not after.
Equipment Assigned to a Job Order
The Problem
Forklifts, torque wrenches, PPE, and other equipment get handed out informally on the floor. Nobody can say with confidence what's currently assigned where, or whether a returned item actually came back.
The FreshStaff Fix
Equipment is tracked per job order with a status per item, Assigned, In Use, Returned, so you always know what's out, where, and whether it's been returned, without a separate spreadsheet.
Required Training Before Placement
The Problem
A worker gets sent to a floor role before finishing a required safety certification, because there's no system-level check, just a coordinator's memory.
The FreshStaff Fix
A training course can be flagged required for placement. Until a worker completes it, they're not eligible to be placed on a job that requires it, the system enforces the gate instead of relying on someone remembering.

Inspect the Floor. Track the Equipment. Never Charge for a Recruiter Seat. Questions
Does FreshStaff track OSHA-style safety inspections?
Yes. Inspections are logged per client site with a structured checklist, and any flagged item automatically feeds into that client's risk score. There's a full inspection history per site for audits and client reviews.
How does equipment tracking work?
Equipment (forklifts, tools, PPE, and more) is assigned to a specific job order and tracked with a status, Assigned, In Use, or Returned, so you always know what's out and where without a separate spreadsheet.
Can I require training before a worker is placed?
Yes. A training course can be flagged required for placement, and a worker isn't eligible for a job that requires it until the course is complete, the system enforces the gate automatically.
