Sparrows HSEQ vs GetUp Alarm

This app has been designed by Sparrows Offshore Group Ltd and can be used by all employees to record Observations and Self-Verifications. You will require a Sparrows login to be able to use this app. Observations relate to safe and unsafe behaviours and conditions. The app will allow you to raise a new Observation for onshore and offshore locations globally. Once you have submitted an Observation, it will be assigned to a Sparrows manager for follow up action to be completed. You will not be able to edit an Observation once raised, but you will be able to access the record to review the details. Self-Verifications are used to proactively check that a task or worksite is safe and to encourage staff to take immediate corrective action to address anything found. The app will allow you to raise a new Self-Verification for onshore and offshore locations globally. Once you have submitted a Self-Verification, it will be assigned to a Sparrows manager for follow up action to be completed. You will not be able to edit a Self-Verification once raised, but you will be able to access the record to review the details. Within both Observations and Self-verifications, you will have the opportunity to take pictures, or upload photos from your device that you have taken previously, as evidence of the condition observed, or activity undertaken. The app will only show the Observations and Self-Verifications raised by the user. Once a record has been closed, it will move to the ‘Closed’ tab. The app will only store data from the past three months. This app can only be used to raise new Observations or Self-Verifications. To complete a record, or review records older than three months please use the web portal – the link to this is available from SIMS. For user guides and videos on how to use the app please also go to the Observation or Self-Verification processes on SIMS. The app also includes Health and Safety notices, which are available in the "News" section of the app. For any further help on the Observation or Self-Verification processes please contact Sparrows HSEQ team, and for technical assistance with, or access to, the app please contact the IT Service Desk.

YOU KEEP SLEEPING THROUGH ALARMS. WE GET IT. You've tried everything: multiple alarms, putting your phone across the room, puzzle apps, louder sounds. You still hit snooze half-asleep and crawl back into bed. Every failed morning makes you feel worse—guilty, rushed, and behind before your day even starts. It's not that you're lazy. Your alarm is just badly designed. GetUp is different. It's the alarm system you literally cannot snooze. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: 1. Set your alarm in the GetUp app 2. Place your GetUp Brick somewhere away from your bed (bathroom, kitchen, desk) 3. When your alarm rings, the only way to turn it off is to physically get out of bed, walk to your brick, and tap your phone on it 4. No shortcuts. No snooze button. No going back to bed. By the time you've walked to your brick, you're awake. Your body has moved. The lights are on. The cozy spell is broken. And here's the thing: once you're actually up, you stay up. DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WHO'VE TRIED EVERYTHING Chronic snoozers who sleep through 5+ alarms Heavy sleepers who genuinely don't hear normal alarms Phone scrollers who lose 20+ minutes in bed every morning Students who keep missing lectures and deadlines Young professionals tired of starting work already behind Anyone who wants to stop breaking promises to themselves WHY GETUP ACTUALLY WORKS Traditional alarms are too easy to dismiss when you're half-asleep. GetUp creates physical friction—the one thing your groggy brain can't outsmart. You must move. And movement triggers wakefulness. Plus, you're not grabbing your phone and immediately seeing notifications. No doom-scrolling. No "I'll just check one thing" that turns into 30 minutes. Your phone becomes a tool to silence noise, not a portal to distraction. WHAT MAKES GETUP DIFFERENT - Physical NFC checkpoint – Not just an app, an actual device you have to walk to - No snooze option – Literally removed from the equation - Customisable alarms – Set times, sounds, repeat schedules - Behavioural science-backed – Friction + state change = actual waking up - Blocks morning phone use – Break the bed-to-scroll habit - Built by a chronic snoozer – Someone who gets it, for people who get it STOP LOSING THE FIRST BATTLE OF EVERY DAY Mornings set the tone. When you oversleep or waste time scrolling, you start already behind—stressed, rushed, guilty. GetUp helps you win that first battle and start your day with a small victory instead of an excuse. Imagine: waking up on time, every time. Having a calm morning. Actually making that 9am lecture. Getting to work on time without sprinting. Having time for coffee, a shower, maybe even breakfast. Feeling in control. That's what GetUp users tell us. They're finally keeping the promises they make to themselves when they set their alarms the night before. YOUR MORNINGS, TRANSFORMED GetUp isn't about motivation or willpower—those fail when you're half-asleep. It's about making the easy thing getting up, and the hard thing staying in bed. Smart design beats self-discipline every time. One brick. One app. One simple rule: when it rings, you move.
