Give every worker a voice that feeds the risk picture
Onos makes hazard, near-miss and good-practice reporting as simple as scanning a QR code — then connects every observation to actions, trends, risk scores, briefings and evidence.
What hurts today
Reporting takes too long
When raising a hazard means finding a form, a pen and a site office, most hazards go unraised.
Observations become isolated records
A report in a spreadsheet cannot update a risk score, brief a project lead or connect to similar events elsewhere.
Engagement is invisible
Without participation data, feedback loops and closure evidence, you cannot build a reporting culture that lasts.
How Safety Observations works on Onos
QR-code reporting
Scan, describe, photograph, submit — 60 seconds from hazard to logged report. No app install, no login, no friction.
Supply chain included
Subcontractors, visitors and external workers report through the same simple route, including anonymous reporting where needed.
Positive observations
Capture good practice alongside hazards so safety becomes a culture signal, not just a fault log.
Connected closure
Each observation routes to an owner, creates actions where needed, updates dashboards and feeds Q’s pattern detection.

Who gets what
Site staff
- Raise a hazard in 60 seconds from your phone — scan the QR code, photograph it, describe it, submit.
- Report good practice too, not just faults — positive observations build the record alongside hazards.
- Get notified the moment your report becomes an action, so you know it didn’t vanish into a filing cabinet.
EHSQ admins
- Every observation lands in one structured record — mandatory fields, photos, locations, categories — ready to filter and report on instantly.
- Subcontractors and visitors report through the same QR route, including anonymous reporting, so the supply chain stops being a blind spot.
- Each observation routes to an owner and creates actions automatically, so nothing needs manual chasing into the closure log.
Leadership
- See participation rates, contractor scores and hazard heatmaps across the estate — not just this site’s tally.
- Q reads every observation against site, shift, contractor, incident and inspection history, and flags the pattern before it becomes a statistic.
- From report to action to evidence, one connected trail — no more auditing a spreadsheet to prove engagement is real.
What’s in the module
- Hazard, near-miss and good-practice reporting via the Onos app or site QR codes — no login for external workers
- Open to everyone on site: company staff, subcontractors, clients, visitors and the public
- Categorise by Safety, Health or Environment with location on site, company involved, photos and detail
- Raise and assign actions straight from the observation, with closed-loop feedback to the reporter
- Dashboard cards for observation trends, at-risk vs good practice, hours and participation
- Robust user permissions and automated notifications
Q reads every observation — and what it means with the rest of the system.
Q does not treat observations as isolated comments. It reads them against site, shift, contractor, actions, incident history and inspection findings — then flags the pattern before it becomes a statistic.
The old way vs. with Onos
Raising a hazard
The old way
Find a form, a pen and the site office — 10-15 minutes
With Onos
60 seconds from any phone via QR code
Supply chain reporting
The old way
Subcontractor hazards rarely get raised at all
With Onos
40% of observations now come from supply chain workers
After you submit
The old way
Report sits in a site filing cabinet
With Onos
Instant notification to the person who owns it
Proving closure
The old way
No way to tell if a hazard was ever resolved
With Onos
Automatic feedback loop shows the completed action
Spotting patterns
The old way
Observations reviewed only after an incident
With Onos
Q surfaces the pattern in real time, before it becomes one

“Onos has led to a huge upturn in worker participation and is aiding to fuel good practice and a reduction in rates of incidents. We very much rely on Onos.”
