Safety Observations

Give Every Worker aVoice That Drives Safety

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.

Solutions for Every Role

Onos addresses the unique challenges faced by different stakeholders

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 do anything about it.

The Solution

Raise observations in 60 seconds from your phone. Scan the site QR code, take a photo, describe the hazard, and submit. Get notified when actions are completed.

For Office Admin Staff

The Problem

Managing observation data across multiple formats - paper forms, WhatsApp photos, emails - making it impossible to identify patterns.

The Solution

All observations captured in a structured format with mandatory fields, photos, locations, and categories. Filter and produce reports instantly.

For Senior Leadership

The Problem

No quantitative way to measure if engagement is improving or if observations are leading to meaningful risk reduction.

The Solution

Enterprise-wide metrics showing participation rates, contractor scores, and heatmaps revealing hazard concentrations.

Simple Process

How It Works

From hazard spotted to action completed in four simple steps

01

Make Reporting Accessible

Place QR code posters at site entrances, canteens, and high-risk areas. Anyone can scan to access the form without downloading an app.

02

Capture Rich Data

The mobile-optimised form takes less than 60 seconds. Select observation type, add photos, choose location, and optionally remain anonymous.

03

Instant Notification

Site managers receive real-time alerts for high-risk observations. Auto-assign actions or delegate with due dates and priorities.

04

Close The Loop

Workers receive notifications when their observations are actioned, with photos showing the hazard resolved. This drives sustained engagement.
