ISO 19299 and Transport Systems Inspection

Even though several businesses and industries are being forced to shut or slow down, there?are a few sectors that have to remain in operation regardless of a pandemic. Transport systems inspection is something that takes places as an essential audit of the structures that?keep the roads, railway and runways safe across society. That’s why the International?Organization for Standards (ISO) have recently renewed and refreshed their standard for toll?roads. As one of the key infrastructures that help ensure that road viability and safety, toll?systems are an important system that can be taken for granted. With the new standard ISO?19299 – ‘Electronic Fee Collection – Security Framework’, the ISO hopes to make it easier for?field personnel and organisations to carry out their transport systems inspection.?

Transport systems inspection is not just about toll roads, it can be found in numerous of?places that support local, state and even international logistics structures. From runway?signs to the emergency systems on ferries, our society is filled with methodical procedures,?symbols and technology that helps keep us safe. Not only does it keep us safe, but they help?to contribute to efficient processes that are reliable. The question for organisations that are?in charge of such assets and operations is how to keep them both up-to-date and?dependable. This is where standards such as ISO 19299 and transport systems inspection?comes in. With effective transport systems inspection, organisations and businesses?operating in diverse fields and sectors can ensure that they are providing the best system, asset or management possible. Today paperless inspections, run as paperless applications,?on a mobile device, are arguably the industry leading solution. By using technology to help?inspect, audit and check various methods, signs or technology systems; inspectors can?adeptly monitor performance. This gives them data which can be interpreted to make?better business decisions and improve public safety.?

Paperless inspection is both a simple and powerful solution for many organisations and?sectors. By utilising a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet, inspectors can carry out?an entire inspection on a mobile app. This means that their recordings in the form of data,?notes or even images can be congregated on a checklist with a standardised response?layout. Not only does this cause the inspection to be more efficient, but it also keeps the?data consistent from inspection to inspection, something that gives management easier?data to understand during analysis. All paperless checklists can also contain reference?material in the form of manuals or even previous inspection reports so that inspectors are?armed with all the information required to make a full inspection. Another useful feature is?the ability to integrate corrective actions, set up by management prior to an inspection;?which dependent on the data input suggests a corrective action. Corrective actions can?ensure that the best action at the time is taken by inspection personnel such as temporarily?shutting down something in the interest of safety, rather than taking unnecessary risks.?Alongside corrective actions, management also gets the benefit of receiving all inspection?data as the report is finalised near real time, which in the work from home era is undeniably?important in the interest of working efficiently. With integration of industry standards such?as ISO 19299 as standalone transport systems inspection checklists, or to simplify the audit?trail, paperless inspection solutions are dynamic yet profoundly proficient.?For more information regarding ISO 19299 – ‘Electronic Fee Collection – Security Framework’?
