Can changes be made to the template form content?
{{ propApi.expandedIcon }} {{ propApi.collapsedIcon }}

Yes. Changes to the form content can be made through discussions with your HIA Safety representative should the standard template not be suitable. Once made, the changes will take immediate effect. 

Do users need an app to use the service?
{{ propApi.expandedIcon }} {{ propApi.collapsedIcon }}

HIA SafeScan is not an app that needs to be downloaded. HIA SafeScan is web-based which means any up-to-date smart device with connection to the internet can scan a SafeScan QR Code and interact with forms.

For Apple devices with IOS 11 or later, and Android devices with Android 9 or later, the built-in camera is capable of reading QR Codes.

For other devices, a QR Code Reader app may need to be downloaded.
