About

OnsiteAware

Read full description

OnSiteAware is an easy-to-use application for ensuring worker safety and providing contractor location information for businesses. The smartphone app allows workers to log into the app when arriving on site, perform a personal risk assessment before working, tracks their location on worksites to provide insightful data to businesses, and can provide workplace condition feedback reports from workers to organizations. Note: This app uses GPS information, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Features: LOCATION AWARENESS: Workers can see where they are on a map within their own smartphone app. Businesses can log where workers have been for safety reasons and for future analysis. RISK ASSESSMENTS: Upon logging into the app, workers will be prompted to complete a personal risk assessment provided by the organization operating the worksite. SITE CONDITION FEEDBACK REPORTS (optional): Allow workers to provide feedback to site operators on the condition of the workplace and list items that may be missing.
