About

Safety Toolbox

Features
Read full description

Safety Toolbox puts a safety professional's daily toolkit in your pocket — built by Smarter Risk for supervisors, EHS managers, and small businesses that take safety seriously. TOOLBOX TALKS — 161 READY TO USE Run better safety meetings with a searchable library of 161 field-tested toolbox talks, organized by topic (fall protection, LOTO, PPE, electrical, forklifts, heat, and more). Large-text reading mode keeps your screen awake while you present to the crew. OSHA RECORDABLE APP • Answer "Is this recordable?" with a guided decision tree built on 29 CFR 1904 • Keep your OSHA 300 Log, 300A Annual Summary, and 301 Incident Reports • Track TRIR, DART, LTIR, and severity rates automatically • Export OSHA 300/300A/301 formatted workbooks for posting and reporting • Employee names stay masked on screen, and the log can be protected with Face ID NEAR MISS TRACKER Log near misses in seconds, then see where risk is building: incidents by area and category, resolution speed, and your top hot spots. Export a management-ready PDF report or spreadsheet. SAFE LIFTING CALCULATOR Calculate safe lifting limits with the revised NIOSH Lifting Equation. Plain-language coaching on every input helps anyone measure a lift correctly — and shows exactly what to fix first when a lift is high-risk. SAFETY ROI CALCULATOR Make the business case for safety. Model the true cost of injuries (direct, indirect, and premium impact) and the first-year return of a safety program, backed by NCCI, OSHA, NSC, and Ohio BWC data. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything works offline. Your records live only on your device — no accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Back up anytime to iCloud Drive, Files, or email with one tap. Safety Toolbox is an independent app from Smarter Risk and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by OSHA, NIOSH, or the U.S. Department of Labor. Safety Toolbox is a planning and record-keeping aid; verify compliance decisions with your safety professional.
