SiteKey lets your crew report incidents, accidents and near misses from their own phone at the scene, in under a minute. Each report goes to your dashboard for follow-up.
Serious harm events on a worksite tend to follow near misses that nobody wrote down. If those near misses are recorded, you can fix the problem before someone is hurt.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, notifiable events must be reported to WorkSafe as soon as possible and the scene preserved. A notifiable event is a death, a notifiable injury or illness, or a notifiable incident that exposes people to a serious risk. Records of notifiable events must be kept for at least five years.
That is the legal minimum. Sites get safer when reporting small events is easy enough that people do it, and when each report is looked at, given an action and closed out. With a carbon-copy incident book in the site office, reports tend to be written days later from memory.
SiteKey puts reporting on the same phone people use to sign in.
By the time someone finds the incident book, much of the detail is forgotten, and the report is written from memory away from the scene.
If reporting a near miss means a form, a walk to the office and twenty minutes, most near misses go unreported.
A report filed in a folder with no assigned action and no close-out leaves the hazard in place, and the same near miss can happen again until someone is injured.
SiteKey incident and near miss reporting is part of the platform your crew already signs in with. There is no separate app to learn.
SiteKey is a flat rate of $30 a month for an office and $50 a month for a worksite. There are no per-user fees and no per-scan costs, and the price stays the same when you take on another crew. Incident and near miss reporting is included in the SiteKey platform alongside sign in, inductions and compliance checks. See full pricing on the SiteKey homepage.
A near miss is an unplanned event that did not cause harm but could have, such as a dropped tool landing beside someone or a guard found removed from a machine. Near misses show where your controls are failing, and recording them lets you fix hazards before anyone is injured.
Not all of them. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 you must notify WorkSafe of notifiable events, which are a death, a notifiable injury or illness, or a notifiable incident. A notifiable incident is an unplanned or uncontrolled event that exposes people to a serious risk to health and safety, such as a structural collapse or an electric shock. Many near misses meet that definition, and those must be notified as soon as possible. Record everything else internally so you can find patterns before anyone is injured.
Who was involved and who saw it, where and when it happened, what happened in plain words, photos of the scene if possible, what the immediate response was, and what should change to stop it happening again. The most detailed reports are made at the scene within minutes. A phone report made on the spot captures more than a form filled in later at the office.
Records of notifiable events must be kept for at least five years under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. Keep your full incident and near miss history as well. It shows you are managing health and safety, and you need it to spot trends. Digital records take less effort to keep than archived paper books.
SiteKey is a site access management platform, and your crew already uses it to sign in with a QR code on their own phone. They report an incident or near miss on the same phone in under a minute, with photos attached. Each report appears on your dashboard with the site, time and people already linked, and you assign follow-up actions and close them out. SiteKey costs a flat $30 a month for an office and $50 a month for a worksite.
Tell us about your site and we will show you reporting, sign in and compliance checks in the same platform.
