Spend less time on compliance paperwork and more time building with Sequence XT. Cloud-based Sequence XT gives construction and industrial teams one platform to manage safety, training, inspections, incident management, compliance, and reporting. It's built around four functions that map directly to how compliance programs operate: RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Organize, distribute, and control access to safety manuals, SDS files, driver policies, and compliance documents. Role-based permissions keep the right materials in front of the right people. Automated alerts flag expiring documents before they become a liability. LEARNING MANAGEMENT Deliver and track training across your workforce — from OSHA 10 certifications to safety meetings to custom onboarding orientations. Includes over 250 microlearning videos in English and Spanish, with mobile-friendly access for crews in the field. Dashboards show completion status at a glance, by crew or project. INSPECTION AND HAZARD MANAGEMENT Conduct real-time inspections using configurable digital forms. Capture photos, collect digital signatures, and auto-tag assets on-site. Build repeatable job hazard analyses with standardized controls and verification workflows. Corrective actions are tracked automatically from observation to close-out. INCIDENT MANAGEMENT Log, track, and resolve incidents quickly, while maintaining OSHA compliance and documentation at every step. Create automated workflows for case management, escalations, and audit trails that align with your company's policies. From near-misses to major events, you're in control. REPORTING AND ANALYTICS Turn safety data into decisions. Monitor TRIR, EMR, and project-level performance trends. Drill down by location, contractor, or job type. Track leading indicators — not just lagging ones — so you're managing risk before it shows up as a recordable or a citation. Sequence XT was developed by HB NEXT, built on more than 25 years of hands-on compliance work in construction and industrial environments. It's the same platform HB NEXT's safety professionals use in the field — which means it's designed for how compliance actually gets done, not how it looks in a product brochure. The result: a single source of truth for your safety program. Accessible anywhere. Scalable as you grow.
