When it comes to safety on Irish construction sites, GA2 and GA3 inspections are a critical part of staying compliant with health & safety regulations.
Required by the Health & Safety Authority (HSA) and outlined in CIF guidelines, these weekly inspections of plant, lifting equipment, and lifting accessories are essential for protecting workers and reducing risk on site.
But the reality for many contractors is that managing GA2 and GA3 inspections is still a manual, time-consuming process — relying on paper checklists, spreadsheets, and chasing site teams for completed forms.
That’s exactly the problem Boxcore solves.
What Are GA2 & GA3 Inspections?
GA2 — Weekly Inspection of Plant & Equipment
Covers machinery such as:
– Excavators
– Telehandlers
– Dumpers
– Concrete pumps
– Other site plant
GA3 — Weekly Inspection of Lifting Accessories & Equipment
Covers items such as:
– Slings
– Chains
– Shackles
– Hoists
– Lifting Beams
Both forms are essential for demonstrating that plant and lifting equipment is being checked regularly, maintained properly, and safe to use.
The Challenge: Manual GA2 & GA3 Processes Slow Sites Down
Most contractors are still using printed GA2 or GA3 templates, filling them out by hand, storing them in site folders, or trying to log them into spreadsheets after the fact.
This approach creates a number of problems:
– Missed inspections
– Lost or incomplete records
– No real-time visibility
– Extra admin burden for site supervisors
– Difficulty producing records during audits or HSA inspections
