Volunteer rescue units, checked in minutes.
Storm, flood and road crash rescue units checked by volunteers who may be on a truck once a fortnight: short, plain checks on their own phone, with the same record behind them as a full-time service.
Why it matters
Volunteers have limited time
Checks happen at training night or just before a callout. They have to be quick, obvious and done on the volunteer’s own phone.
Units hold a lot of equipment
Chainsaws, generators, lighting, pumps, rescue tools and trailers each need to be present, charged and working.
Test dates are spread across units
Test and tag, rescue tool servicing and height safety inspections are often tracked on paper in each unit, if at all.
Controllers need to know what can deploy
Before a storm season or a flood, region and state controllers need to see which units and vehicles are ready, without calling each one.
What Clearway ES does for the SES
Short, clear checks
- Built for a volunteer on a fortnightly roster: one item at a time, with the reason shown
- One login across several units or organisations, with a role in each
- Works with no signal at the depot or in the field
Rescue equipment
- Road crash rescue tools, cutters, spreaders, rams and stabilisation gear
- Chainsaws, generators, lighting and pumps started and run
- Height and flood rescue equipment with inspection dates
Trailers and plant
- Trailers get their own four-position walkaround
- Lighting towers, generators and plant in the equipment register
- Servicing by engine hours for plant, or by date
Lights and siren
- Emergency warning lights and every siren tone, checked on every template, with a photo of the lights running
- Scene lighting and radio checked
Test and service dates
- Test and tag, harness inspections, tool servicing, extinguishers and first aid kits
- A warning before each lapses, and an overdue item can restrict the unit
Readiness at a glance
- One board for every vehicle across units
- Defects routed to the right unit and workshop
- Handover between crews during long deployments
Rescue unit · weekly check
Every item decides what a failure does to the vehicle. That is what turns a form into a readiness system.
An illustration. Your items, limits and outcomes come from your own procedures and equipment, and every template starts with the lights and siren checks.
The record your obligations call for
Your service’s procedures and your WHS obligations to volunteers set what must be checked. Clearway ES keeps the proof that it was done, unit by unit.
- Every check kept against the exact template version it was completed on
- An append-only audit log of who did what, when and where, which nobody can edit, including us
- Photos taken on the live camera and stamped on the phone with time, GPS position and compass heading
- A plain evidence rating on every walkaround, so a rushed or incomplete walk stands out
- Service, test and defect history for every vehicle and item of equipment
- Check records exported as a spreadsheet for audits, insurers and investigations
- All data and photos stored in Australia, in Sydney
Also suits volunteer fire brigades, surf life saving support vehicles and community emergency teams.
