Safety Management

An Effective Safety Program
Requires More Than
Docs and Forms.

SiteMax replaces paper binders and disconnected processes with a digital safety system built for the people doing the actual work — inspectors, superintendents, and the crews on site.

The Problem

Paper Safety Programs
Fail in the Field

Most construction safety programs look good in a binder. They fall apart on an active jobsite. Forms get forgotten. Incidents go undocumented. Inspections pile up at the end of the week. When the auditor arrives — or when something goes wrong — the records are either missing, incomplete, or buried across a dozen different folders.

The problem isn't the people. It's the system. Paper-based safety programs create friction at every step — completing forms, collecting signatures, storing records, and tracking compliance. When compliance is difficult, it gets skipped.

"When the auditor arrives or something goes wrong — your records need to be complete, organized, and accessible in minutes. Not days."

SiteMax moves the entire safety workflow to mobile — forms, signatures, incident reports, inspections, and document distribution — so the crew can comply in the field, not back at the office. The record is created at the moment the work happens, by the person doing it, on the device already in their pocket.

Your Team on Site

Project Notices.
The Right Message
to the Right Crew.

Target the right people at the right time on the right project. Create actionable safety notices — viewable daily on each crew member's project home screen the moment they open the app.

Hazard alerts, toolbox talk reminders, daily health declarations, safety audits, and site-specific briefings all delivered directly to the field — before work begins. Attach forms to complete, videos to watch, PDFs to read, or photos to review.

No printing. No distribution. No wondering if the crew saw it.

Safety Program & Documents

Your Safety Program.
Every Project.
Always Current.

Upload your safety program, policies, MSDS sheets, emergency plans, and compliance documents into a central company repository connected to every active project.

Every team member — on site or in the office — always has the current version. Never a printed policy from six months ago. Never a binder that didn't make it to the job.

Safety documents are structured so notices can trigger the exact form, video, or PDF that matches the hazard or task at hand.

QR Workflows

Access Any Safety Form
Instantly — No Login Required.

Post QR codes at site entrances, equipment stations, or hazard areas. Visitors, subcontractors, and crew members scan with their own device and complete the required form on the spot — no SiteMax account needed, no app to download.

QR Workflow for Site & Safety Reports

The QR code points to a structured Siteflow — a guided sequence of steps that can include safety declarations, form completion, document acknowledgements, and signature capture. The completed record is automatically stored and attached to the project.

Use it for site inductions, daily health declarations, equipment pre-start checks, and visitor sign-ins. Lean into QR codes and the Form Builder to control exactly what gets captured and when.

Siteflow QR Workflows
for Subcontractors

Transform your subcontractor workflows by giving your subs steps they can complete right from their fingertips — orientation sign-offs, daily safety declarations, PPE compliance checks, and site-specific briefings — all without a SiteMax account or any app to install.

Custom Form Builder — Need a report type not on this list? Build any form your safety program requires using your field names, your cost codes, your process. Built once, available on every project, submitted from any device.

Document Verification

Three Signature Paradigms.
One Permanent Record.

Signature capture is built into every safety form and report in SiteMax. Three options give you nuanced control over process and document verification — from single-tap acknowledgement to witnessed sign-off.

01
Individual Sign-Off
The person completing the form signs on their own device. Time-stamped, tied to their profile, stored permanently. Toolbox talk attendance, pre-task plans, equipment checks.
02
Witnessed Signature
Two-party sign-off on a single device — the person completing the form and an authorized witness both sign before submission. Incident reports, critical safety declarations.
03
Group Acknowledgement
Collect sign-offs from a full crew in one workflow — each person confirms they received the briefing, reviewed the policy, or completed the training. Toolbox talks, safety orientations.
Audit Readiness

COR Certification
Without the Binders

Certificate of Recognition certification requires documented evidence of a functioning safety management system — regular inspections, completed forms, training records, incident reports, and management review. In a paper-based program, assembling that evidence before an audit takes weeks.

When your safety program runs through SiteMax, every record is already organized, date-stamped, and searchable. An auditor asks for six months of inspection records — you pull them up in thirty seconds, not thirty minutes.

Your safety program is only as strong as the records behind it. When an incident occurs, a claim is filed, or an auditor arrives, the question is always the same: can you prove what happened, when it happened, and who was responsible for what? SiteMax keeps that record current and complete — not as a bonus feature, but as the foundation of how it works.

Paperless safety record
"Software decisions in construction are always difficult. There's such a wide range of people, ages, and experience levels. The older people generally have the most experience but are the least computer savvy. SiteMax was easy to use and pick up. I haven't had anybody in the company yet say it's too complicated."
