FEATURE OVERVIEW

PROJECTS – Manage multiple projects within the same app.

OBSERVATIONS – Empower your job site team to help reduce risk through digital observations on their mobile device. Choose from a library of construction categories (e.g. cranes and hoisting, fall protection, excavations, welding and more) or create your own. Add photos, notes, and assign corrective action(s) for follow up and collaboration between team member(s) and/or external party(ies). Tracking observation status and progress is easy from both the app and Risk Dashboard.

MOBILE FORMS WITH QR CODE ACCESS – Replace paper-based forms with digital forms that can be completed by anyone with the app or via QR code access. Leverage over 150 forms or build new based on your existing paper forms. Data is captured digitally, directly from the user, reducing errors and providing faster access to information. Mobile forms can cover a wide variety of topics, such as Cal / OSHA 301 injury reports, Accident reporting, permits, Job hazard analysis, and any other paper-based form that is important to your organization.

QR CODE ACCESS – Generate a QR code through the system, place at key areas on your job site(s) so respective personnel can access a specific mobile form and project even if they do not have the app. Those that do not have the app will fill out the form via a system-generated web form.

TOOLBOX TALKS – Use our safety topics or create your own to help your team lead job site safety discussions that help create a culture of safety awareness. Provided toolbox talks include a summary, key points, things to consider, and items for discussion. Signatures and photos can be taken and attached within the app for proper attendee documentation. Example Toolbox Talks include arc welding safety, confined space entry, hot work and much more.

ZURICH RISKTOPICS – Questions on how to identify or handle a task, risk or exposure correctly? Get guidance and share from the 100+ RiskTopics developed by Zurich’s Construction Risk Engineers on various risks like crane safety, confined spaces, fire prevention, and much more.

COMPANY NEWS – Daily safety announcements based on Zurich’s safety calendar create awareness and reinforce key safety topics. You can also create your own company news to post during a scheduled or ad hoc period.

FILE CABINET – Provide access to important documents, such as safety manuals, procedures or certifications, digitally and strengthen version control.

SUGGESTION BOX – Quickly receive and categorize employee suggestions to improve job site quality and safety.

RISK DASHBOARD – A snapshot view of observations and issues helps you understand where action may need to be taken.
