Login & Account

How do I log in to PEER?

What are the password requirements?

A password must have at least 8 characters, including one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number and one symbol. It cannot contain spaces.

I forgot my password. What should I do?

Click Forgot Password on the login page, enter your registered email address and submit. Open the reset email, click the link and set a new password. See Forgot Password.

How do I set up my account for the first time?

Is two-factor authentication (2FA) required?

PEER guides every new user through 2FA setup and strongly recommends it. 2FA keeps accounts safer and is needed to comply with ISO 27001.

My 2FA code says Invalid Passcode. What should I check?

Check that the date and time on your phone are set automatically, because the passcode depends on accurate time. See the Invalid passcode 2FA troubleshooting guide for the full checklist.

I lost my phone or cannot open Google Authenticator. What now?

Contact your company Administrator and ask for a 2FA reset. The Administrator can reset it from User Management. See How to reset 2FA.

Why is my account suspended, and how do I unlock it?

An account can be suspended if you have not logged in for more than 30 days, if you enter the wrong password 5 times, or if your company Administrator suspends it. To unlock it yourself, log in, click the link in the suspension notice, choose Send OTP Code To My Email, then enter the code. An Administrator can also unlock it from User Management. See Request OTP to unlock the suspended account.

How do I verify my email or resend the verification email?

Workers can use the Training Module only with help from an Administrator user.

Before submitting a PTW, make sure these prerequisites are completed and approved: Letter of Appointment (LOA), Risk Assessment (RA), Safe Work Procedure (SWP), any activity-specific prerequisite documents, and a submitted Toolbox Meeting (TBM). Then create a PTW Plan in the PTW Calendar and add the prerequisites to it. See the PTW Submission guide.

Can I route a form to many people, and who can change the route?

The Route To feature lets the form or PTW creator, the creator's Administrator (Subcon), the Maincon Admin and the last submitter change the next submitter, from the Records page or the PTW Plan list. See the Route to next user guide.

Can I set up multiple levels of approval?

Yes. Many users run a 2-tier approval process, and PEER can support as many approval levels as you need.

Can I submit safety forms before the work begins?

Yes. PEER supports PTW Day 0 (Pre-Approval) in the Master Plan, so safety forms can be submitted and approved before work starts.

Will photos taken in PEER be timestamped?

Yes. Images taken in PEER are timestamped and saved in PEER, which helps show that the image is authentic.

HSE Inspection

How does an HSE inspection work in PEER?

An inspector conducts the inspection and raises findings. The Person-In-Charge (PIC) of the work takes corrective action, and the inspector then verifies the correction or rejects it. See the Complete Guide to HSSE Inspection and Corrective Action.

How do I conduct an HSE inspection and raise a finding?

Open Conduct HSSE Inspection and click the + button on the inspection list. Fill in the Organization, Function, Designation and any Remark, then start the inspection and submit your findings. See the step-by-step guide.

How does the person in charge fix a finding?

Open My Tasks, click the HSSE Inspection card, and click Edit on the finding in your Outstanding Tasks. Review the finding from the inspector, then perform and submit the corrective action. See the Rectification guide.

Who can do what in HSE inspections?

The Inspector (HSSE) is a Maincon user who can conduct inspections, raise findings and approve corrective actions. The Person-In-Charge (Work) can be a Maincon or Subcon user and handles corrective actions. You can assign more than one person in charge to an inspection. See Project Role for HSSE Inspection Module.

Can I customize severity levels and hazard types?

Yes. Severity levels can be customized, and a Hazard Type menu is available in Data Setup.

Can people who do not use PEER receive inspection notifications?

Yes. You can add Other Concerned Parties in Project Setup. They are involved in HSE inspections but are not PEER users, and they can still receive inspection notifications. See Other Concerned Party.

Site Inspection lets teams complete and verify site checklists digitally in PEER, such as concreting, formwork, steel reinforcement and reinforcement bending schedule inspections.

How do I submit a site inspection checklist?

Open Site Inspection, click Conduct Site Inspections, then click the + button beside the calendar. Choose a template, fill in the location, remark and any attachments, complete the checklist and submit. See Submit Concreting Checklist for an example.

An Administrator assigns users to the project as Project Engineer or Project Supervisor in Project Setup, under Users. The user must already be registered in PEER. See Assign user to Project as Project Engineer.

RE/RTO Inspection

What is the RE/RTO Inspection module?

RE/RTO stands for Resident Engineer / Resident Technical Officer. In PEER, a Project Engineer submits an inspection request, the RE/RTO confirms and conducts the inspection, and any corrective actions are tracked until the work can proceed.

How do I request an RE/RTO inspection?

Open Conduct RE/RTO Inspection and click the + button. Fill in the location, location remark, inspection scope, sub scope and description of work, select the RE, and submit. See Submit Inspection Request by PE.

How does the RE/RTO respond to a request?

The RE/RTO receives a Telegram notification with a link. They can confirm the request, choose who conducts the inspection, fill in the inspection checklist and record findings, or reschedule the request. See Confirm and Conduct Inspection Request.

What happens if my inspection request is rescheduled or has findings?

If the RE reschedules your request, you receive a Telegram notification with a link to resubmit it. If there are findings, open the notification link, add the corrective action with a remark and attachment if needed, resubmit the checklist and attach the updated inspection. See Resubmit Inspection request by PE and Take corrective action by PE.

Can I invite external parties to use the RE/RTO module?

Yes. Role Based Access Control lets you set up roles for RE/RTOs that only give access to the RE/RTO feature, so they can enter PEER just for the inspection.

How do I download RE/RTO inspection records?

For one record, open Conduct RE/RTO Inspection, click the down arrow and choose Download. For several records, open RE/RTO Inspection Records, go to the Inspection tab, click the three-dot button and choose Download. Only records with the status Proceed with Work can be downloaded.
