Give Every Worker a Voice—And The Data to Prove Safety is Everyone's Responsibility
The best safety insights come from people on the tools, not people in the office. Onos makes hazard and positive observation reporting as simple as scanning a QR code—removing barriers, increasing engagement, and capturing the intelligence that prevents incidents before they happen.
Solutions for Every Role
Onos addresses the unique challenges faced by different stakeholders in your organisation
For Site-Based Staff
The Problem
You spot hazards every day, but reporting them means finding a manager, filling in paperwork, and wondering if anyone will actually do anything about it. It's easier to just work around the problem—until someone gets hurt.
The Solution
Onos lets you raise observations in 60 seconds from your phone. Scan the site QR code, take a photo, describe the hazard, and submit—done. You'll get notifications when actions are completed, and you'll see your observations contributing to site safety scores.
For Office Admin Staff
The Problem
You're managing observation data across multiple formats—paper forms, WhatsApp photos, emails with no structure—making it impossible to identify patterns or demonstrate proactive risk management to clients.
The Solution
Onos captures all observations in a structured format with mandatory fields, photos, locations, and categories. Filter by observation type, site, contractor, or date range to produce reports that reveal trends instantly.
For Senior & Board-Level
The Problem
You've invested in safety culture programmes, but you have no quantitative way to measure whether engagement is improving or whether observations are leading to meaningful risk reduction.
The Solution
Onos provides enterprise-wide observation metrics showing participation rates, contractor performance scores, and heatmaps revealing hazard concentrations. Present compelling evidence to clients, insurers, and regulators.
How It Works
From hazard spotted to action completed in four simple steps
Make Reporting Accessible
Place QR code posters at site entrances, canteens, and high-risk areas. Anyone—employees, subcontractors, even visitors—can scan to access the form without downloading an app.
Capture Rich Data
The mobile-optimised form takes less than 60 seconds. Workers select observation type, add photos, choose a location, and optionally remain anonymous.
Instant Notification & Action
Site managers receive real-time alerts for high-risk observations. The system auto-assigns actions or managers can delegate with due dates and priorities.
Close The Loop
Workers receive notifications when their observations are actioned, with photos showing the hazard resolved. This feedback loop drives sustained engagement.

Traditional vs. Onos
See the difference modern observation management makes
| Traditional Approach | Onos Safety Observations |
|---|---|
10-15 minutes to find form and report hazard | 60 seconds from QR scan to submission |
Subcontractor observations rarely captured | 40% of observations come from supply chain workers |
Observations sit in site filing cabinet | Instant notification to relevant personnel |
No way to track if hazards were resolved | Automatic feedback loop shows completed actions |
Observations only reviewed during incident investigations | Real-time dashboards reveal patterns proactively |
