Why start inspections from investigations?

Starting an inspection directly from an investigation helps you gather supporting evidence as you go, making it easier to build a complete picture of what happened. Whether you're starting a new inspection or adding an existing one, this keeps everything connected and relevant, making it easier to take action based on the investigation.

There are several ways to start an inspection in SafetyCulture, but starting from an investigation is especially useful when you need to document details in real time and complete everything in one workflow.
