Getting Started

Open your browser and go to: https://liftsafe.co.za/register

• Company name — your registered LME company name
• ECSA LME number — your DOL/ECSA registration number (printed on your LME certificate)
• Your name + email + password — this becomes the Super Admin account
• Estimated inspectors & admins — used for your trial quote only

Click Register → check your email → click the confirmation link. Your 20-day free trial activates immediately. No card required.

After confirming your email you will be directed to: https://liftsafe.co.za/dashboard

• Go to Company — upload your logo and fill in your letterhead details. These print on every Certificate of Fitness.
• Upload your company stamp image (used on CoFs).

The dashboard is your admin hub — job overview, certificate management, inspector roster, client directory, compliance reports, and document vault.

Dashboard → Clients → Add Client

• Client = the end-user company that owns the equipment (mine, factory, warehouse, etc.)
• Add one or more Sites per client — site name, location, type
• Sites are listed on every certificate and job card

You can add clients before or after inviting inspectors — the order doesn't matter.

The mobile app is not publicly downloadable. After your team is set up, open Inspectors → Team in the admin dashboard and use Send app link to email a secure, time-limited install link to each active inspector — no Play Store required.

• Open the secure link from the email on the Android tablet or phone
• If prompted: Settings → Security → Allow from this source
• Install and open LiftSafe
• Log in with the same email and password used during registration

The app works offline in mines, underground, and Faraday cages. Inspections queue locally and sync when signal returns.

From the mobile app: Tap your name (top-left) → Profile → Admin → ADD INSPECTOR
From the web dashboard: Inspectors → Invite Inspector

Each person receives an email with a link to set their own password. They then log in on the mobile app.

On the mobile app → START JOB CARD

• Select client, site, job type (planned inspection / callout / breakdown / load test)
• Enter work order number
• Tap INSPECTIONS → select equipment type → fill the SANS form
• LMI signs on tablet. Certificate of Fitness is generated on-device.
• Failed units: WhatsApp + email alert fires automatically before team leaves site
• Close job → end-of-day sheet with client signature

To scan or photograph serial numbers at the plant: Equipment → Search → tap SCAN. Point at the barcode/QR tag, or switch to PHOTO PLATE and photograph the nameplate — the serial is extracted automatically.

Dashboard → Clients → select client → Invite Client User

The client's safety officer, planner, or foreman logs into the same app (or web portal) with a Client Portal role.

• They see real-time traffic light status for all their equipment
• They can log pre-use and shift checks (SANS-prescribed)
• They can access the DMR 18(7) equipment register on their phone
• They cannot see your LME inspection forms or job cards
