LDAR Compliance: Automating Leak Detection and Repair Workflows
Manage industrial safety and emissions compliance. Optimize your LDAR inspection workflows with mobile checklists.
BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Maintaining a rigorous **ldar** (Leak Detection and Repair) program is required for oil, gas, and chemical facilities to satisfy EPA emissions guidelines. When valve inspection dates, PPM readings, and repair dates are logged on paper clipboards, compliance gaps lead to heavy regulatory fines.

Great Day! Uncle Steve here, and if you want to protect your business from EPA fines, digitizing your ldar inspection program is the ultimate solution. Paper leak logs get lost, leaving you without a compliance trail.
Simply Mobility allows technicians to scan valves, record PPM readings, and attach repair photos on-site, logging the compliance record.
Ensure an audit-proof environmental safety trail. Send us your checklist and let us build a working mobile prototype for free.
Why Paper Leak Detection Logs Fail
Simply Mobility automates LDAR inspection workflows. Technicians scan asset barcodes, record emissions readings, and geotag repairs on their mobile device, keeping an audit-proof log.
Building an Audit-Ready Remediation Loop
For businesses looking to scale operations, standardizing ldar workflows is crucial. Digitizing these checklists into your daily schedule reduces data entry delays, prevents administrative bottlenecks, and ensures compliance audits are flawless. Shifting from paper clipboards to a mobile app provides operators with full visibility.
Implementing a connected system is crucial for service businesses. For related workflows, check our operations solutions on environmental compliance checks and ProntoForms LDAR inspection.
