1. A method for configuring assets for use with an industrial inspection compliance system, comprising the steps of: assigning one or more logical inspection points to each components of the assets; defining one or more inspection criteria according to one or more safety standards documents for one or more of the logical inspection points, the safety standard documents containing one or more safety code standards which an inspector can reference in justifying a violation or a work order to correct a violation; assigning tag locations for a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag having a unique serial number at or near one or more of the logical inspection points; capturing a photograph of one or more of the logical inspection points; capturing global positioning system (GPS) coordinates of one or more of the logical inspection points; and encapsulating a unique data object for at least one of the logical inspection points using a computer processor, each data object storing the unique RFID tag serial number at said logical inspection point, the photograph of said logical inspection point, and the GPS coordinates of said logical inspection point, which the industrial inspection compliance system later uses to ensure compliance by ensuring actual visitation to said logical inspection point, wherein the industrial inspection compliance system can annotate the photograph at one or more of the logical inspection points to indicate a safety violation according to one of the safety documents.
