Construction, manufacturing, utilities, warehousing and healthcare are all safety-first industries. Many firms are still using paper forms for managing safety and compliance. Paper based safety processes have even outlasted Covid. Now is the time to retire paper from all jobsites.
Worker and subcontractor check-ins, the daily log, and simply knowing who is or was on a jobsite and what they were doing may not seem like a big deal — until there’s a problem.
When any jobsite incident occurs, an investigation requires witness interviews and a review of the general contractor’s records. You’ll need to show all relevant protocols were followed by those on site and their safety certifications. That’s why our safety daily log is so important.
Too often, this information is contained in various paper forms or PDFs, making claims and investigations time consuming and costly. To improve jobsite management, safety and productivity, companies are now adopting Safe Site Check In.
Safe Site Check In performs jobsite check in using digital QR codes to record each worker’s project onboarding attendance. This data is essential or supervisors, project managers and safety managers. Workers receive a secure personal QR badge and password protected account which can include safety related skills, certifications, licenses, training, etc.
During check in at the start of a shift is the best time to communicate jobsite specific risks. The app makes it easy to share safety documents, videos, and hazmat data sheets. And Safe Site Check In helps supervisors make faster jobsite task assignments that are aligned with worker skills. Your safety daily logs are then securely and permanently stored in the cloud.

Creating a Safety Culture using Safe Site Check In’s Safety Daily Log Reports
Safety experts believe safety management is long overdue for innovation. Instead of focusing on incidents after the fact, safety managers need to build safety protocols into all worksite processes with daily engagement.
According to safety expert Rod Courtney, author of the recently published, “The Eight Habits of a Highly Effective Safety Culture,” and HSE Director at Ampirical Solutions, “a safety culture is rooted in what employees do when nobody is watching.”
Going beyond safety checklists, safety culture is about a belief system, not simply completing and filing documents. It’s a combination of protocols and processes as well as a mindset that embraces and prioritizes the safety of everybody in the workplace.
As a company’s safety culture evolves, it creates an opportunity to update or change outdated processes that no longer serve the organization or its workforce. For example, safety critical information like jobsite attendance can be captured through a worker’s smartphone using Safe Site Check In at the start of their shift. The data is then securely cloud stored in real time and enables two-way communication with all jobsite workers.
Imagine a flash flood sweeps into a jobsite and the project supervisor must account for everybody who was present. What happens if the general contractor had an outdated process for managing check-ins where everybody signed in at the jobsite trailer, scribbled their name on a form and went to work? The paper forms may be hard to read or destroyed. There would be no way to verify the workers and visitors, their location, if they’re been injured or missing.
Although incidents are often the catalyst for change, fostering a safety culture cannot be just reactive. Safety culture must become part of the fabric of the organization and evident in the way everybody working at or on behalf of the company does their jobs. Executive leadership is a must. Customers and regulators are becoming more demanding, and digital tools like Safe Site Check In are part of the solution.
