The construction industry, contractors and workers understand the importance of safety but treat it as a functional requirement of the job, in order to keep everyone safe. It is not that there isn't a safety of culture, but that safety hasn't been integrated into the planning and executing of work in a way that makes it feel like it's part of the work, and part of life. Safety brings new functionality and enhanced interactions that infuses safety thinking into all that we do. From the way that crews are assigned and tasked with preloaded job hazard analysis and embedded into the workflow of showing up to work, checking in, and getting things done. SafeTo is different in every way. The platform includes "mobile first" technology that accommodates the field and has key features such as: - Crew Management - Task Planning, including in-app weather/traffic - Task Tracking - Crew Communication & Notifications (not just for safety issues) - Safety Planning - Real-Time Incident Reporting - Knowledge Library (Tasks checklist, JHA/JSA, Toolbox Talks, etc.) - Crew Document Management - Trainings - Certificates SafeTo is an engaging, easy-to-use platform designed to replace legacy safety tools, materials and processes with engaging safety content related to the worker for the tasks they are doing, and empowering them to manage their prep and their work. SafeTo allows leadership,field management and crews to engage today’s safety priorities, long-term training goals, and monitor team members’ engagement. Our mission is to not simply treat safety as a compliance issue, but a part of operations for Everyone. Everywhere. Everyday.
