Trackplot App vs Safe Forestry UK

The Trackplot app for iOS is used to monitor the safety of workers whilst working alone. Lone workers report in at predefined intervals during the day. A worker sends an Event to the Trackplot Portal which then monitors their status throughout the day. The Trackplot Portal sends out notifications to selected colleagues in case a lone worker is overdue, or presses the Assist button. Note: You must be registered with the Trackplot Portal

Safe Forestry is a digital, forestry data management system designed as a tool to help log on-site activities and improve skill and competence recording in the industry. Safe Forestry has been created by a forestry contractor, Calum Duffy. Calum is still an active contractor, who works daily with chainsaws and harvesting equipment, so he knows the complexities and issues of the job only too well, Calum was challenged by the HSE during a site visit in February 2019 to improve the way he proves the competence of his operators. He was like most other contractors at this point, relying on certification and word of mouth on an operators skill level. The HSE visit soon pointed out that wasn’t enough if it was to “all go wrong”… So this is where the concept of Safe Forestry was born. After 2 years of field testing by Calum, his operators and several other contractors the system now incorporates the fundamentals required to work towards compliance.
