Every job in the oilfield starts with risk. Until now, managing that risk depended on paper forms, personal memory, and experience that walks off location the moment a crew rotates. LifeSaver changes that. Built by Enverus — with 25+ years of upstream field intelligence — and co-developed alongside Continental Resources, BPX Energy, Chord Energy, and Ranger Energy Services, LifeSaver brings AI-coached safety workflows, near real-time hazard data, and complete audit-ready documentation into a single platform designed for the people closest to the risk. Meet Hank — Your AI Safety Co-Pilot Hank is LifeSaver's AI voice agent built specifically for oil and gas field operations. On location, Hank coaches foremen through pre-job safety meetings: surfacing site-specific hazards, filling gaps, and delivering the guidance an experienced safety lead would give — regardless of who's running the meeting. No typing. No form-filling. No app navigation. Just speak the job details and Hank structures the safety meeting around them. On the drive in, the Windshield Time experience delivers a daily audio briefing via CarPlay: near real-time weather, nearby frac and rig activity, recent incidents in the area, and the safety priorities that matter for the day ahead. Hands-free. Heads up. Every crew arrives already oriented to the conditions. For HSE Managers & Safety Leaders Stop finding out about problems from the incident report. LifeSaver gives you live visibility across every active job — completeness scores, risk profiles, and individual crew acknowledgements — all from the same five-minute pre-job meeting your crews are already running. Set configurable JSA completeness thresholds by job type and contractor. Receive alerts when a crew falls below your standard before work begins, not after. For Operations Leaders Monitor safety meeting quality and consistency across dozens of simultaneous jobs without adding audits or overhead. Surface leading indicators across your contractor fleet before downtime and regulatory exposure occur. Separate thorough safety planning from checkbox exercises using quantified JSA Completeness and Meeting Quality Scores. For Foremen & Field Crews You're standing in front of the crew. LifeSaver puts the right information in your hands before the job starts — not a generic checklist, but hazards specific to this well, this weather, and this crew, surfaced automatically. Near real-time weather, H2S potential, and nearby operational activity are pulled at point of JSA creation. When scope changes mid-job, amend the JSA on the spot, capture re-acknowledgement from the crew, and keep working. Key Capabilities: — Voice-first, offline-capable architecture built for high-noise, zero-signal environments — AI-guided Job Safety Analysis (JSA) with location-specific hazard intelligence — Near real-time weather, H2S risk, and Enverus operational data surfaced automatically — Individual, timestamped crew acknowledgements — not a shared signature sheet — Versioned JSA amendments with full audit trail — Windshield Time morning briefings via CarPlay — Investigation-ready records accessible in seconds, not days — Site-specific hazard history preserved across every crew rotation LifeSaver is the difference between a safety tool and a safety culture.
