Report issues via issue QR codes

Learn how to scan issue QR codes on a mobile device so anyone on your team can report issues without a SafetyCulture account.

What are issue QR codes?

Issue QR codes are scannable codes that allow your team to report issues in SafetyCulture, even without an account. When you scan a QR code, you can select a category, add a title and description, attach photos or videos, choose a relevant site, and answer custom questions. You can also provide contact details to receive updates on the reported issue. This ensures your team can fully understand the issue and resolve it efficiently.

You can place your issue QR codes at convenient locations so your team can scan them to report issues. Consider locations that are easily accessible, such as entrances, vehicles, or even your personal protective equipment (PPE).

You don't need a SafetyCulture account to report issues via issue QR codes.
