Construction Safety Management Software

Built for the field. Built for OSHA 1926. Built to keep your people home safe.

Construction accounts for roughly one in five workplace fatalities in the United States, and the Fatal Four — falls, struck-by, caught-in/between, and electrocution — drive nearly 60% of those deaths. The platforms that move that number are the ones the field will actually use: mobile-first, offline-capable, and structured around the way work actually happens on a jobsite.

EHS Insight is that platform. We help general contractors and specialty trade firms standardize JHAs, run inspections from a phone, document training and qualifications, investigate incidents in hours instead of days, and pull a clean OSHA 300 log when an inspector or owner asks for one. It's used by Cajun Industries, EllisDon, Parsons, Sterling Crane, and H&E Equipment Services to manage safety across more than 1M+ users.

The Construction Safety Problem this Software Exists to Solve

Construction safety leaders are not short on policies. They're short on visibility, speed, and proof. A jobsite generates more safety data in a week than most platforms can absorb in a month: pre-task plans, toolbox talks, equipment inspections, near misses, incident reports, training records, sub qualifications, owner-required reporting, OSHA 300 entries, and the documentation trail that lets you keep your scorecard green for the next bid.

Most contractors still run that on a mix of paper, spreadsheets, email, and three half-implemented tools that don't talk to each other. The result is predictable:

  • Recordables that could have been prevented by identifying hazards before they caused injuries.
  • Training and qualification gaps that don't surface until an audit.
  • EMR creep that quietly costs the company tens of thousands a year in workers' comp premium.
  • A safety team spending more time chasing paperwork than coaching the field.

EHS Insight is built to close that gap. One platform, mobile-first, with the workflows construction safety teams actually need.

The Construction Safety Problem this Software Exists to Solve

Built Around the Fatal Four

OSHA's Focus Four, falls, struck-by, caught-in/between, and electrocution, are responsible for the majority of construction fatalities. Every capability in EHS Insight ladders back to identifying these hazards earlier, controlling them at the work face, and learning from the leading indicators that precede a serious incident.

Falls
Making up 33.5% of construction fatalities. Standardize fall protection JHAs by trade and elevation. Inspect harnesses, anchors, and guardrails from a phone with photo evidence. Trigger a corrective action the moment a deficient component is flagged. Pull a single dashboard view of every active fall-protection finding across every project.

Struck-by
Track suspended-load procedures, equipment operator qualifications, and high-visibility PPE compliance. Tie observations to specific trades and crews so patterns surface before they become incidents.

Caught-in/between
Manage excavation permits and competent-person sign-offs against OSHA 1926 Subpart P. Document trench protection, soil classification, and daily inspections. Lock work behind a permit when conditions aren't met.

Electrocution
Lockout/tagout procedures, energized work permits, qualified-worker verification, and tool inspection records — all attached to the location, crew, and project where the work is happening.

Construction Compliance Without the Paperwork Drag

Construction Compliance Without the Paperwork Drag

EHS Insight ships templates, forms, and checklists mapped to the subparts that drive most field decisions:

  • Subpart C — General Safety and Health Provisions
  • Subpart L — Scaffolds
  • Subpart M — Fall Protection (above 6 feet)
  • Subpart P — Excavations
  • Subpart Q — Concrete and Masonry Construction
  • Subpart V — Electric Power Transmission and Distribution
  • Subpart X — Stairways and Ladders

OSHA 300, 300A, and 301 forms are built in. Record an injury, classify it correctly, and the recordable log updates automatically. When the March 2 ITA submission window opens, you submit electronically from the same record — no rebuilding the log in a spreadsheet.

How it Works for General Contractors vs. Specialty Trades

The OSHA 1926 obligation is the same. The workflow isn't. GCs need multi-employer visibility: who's on site, what JHA they're working under, what training they've completed. Subcontractors need fast pre-task planning, clean daily reports, and the documentation discipline to keep pre-qualification scorecards green for the next bid. EHS Insight is configured for both. 

General Contractors

Specialty Trade & Subcontractors

Standardize pre-task planning and toolbox talks across every project and every sub.

Daily reports that double as billing documentation and OSHA 300 source data.

Track contractor prequalification status, COIs, and required training before sub crews arrive on site.

Keep current with clean EMR, TRIR, and training data.

Roll up safety performance across projects, regions, and business units for executive and owner reporting.

Mobile-first, offline-capable — the field is rarely on a stable network, and the platform doesn't pretend otherwise.

What the EHS Insight Actually does on a Construction Site

JHAs & Pre-task Planning

Build, version, and deploy job hazard analyses by trade and task. Crews acknowledge the JHA from a phone before work starts, with photo evidence of the work face. New hazards surfaced during the day flow back into the next revision.

Inspections & Audits

Inspections & Audits

Mobile inspections for scaffolds, ladders, lifts, harnesses, excavations, electrical equipment, fire extinguishers, first aid, and anything else you need to log. Custom checklists per project. Deficiencies trigger a CAPA automatically, with owner, due date, and photo evidence in one record. 

Incident Reporting & Investigation

Incident Reporting & Investigation

Capture an incident in the field in minutes — injury, illness, property damage, vehicle, environmental, or near miss. Built-in OSHA 300, 300A, and 301 forms classify it correctly the first time. Run a root cause analysis (5 Whys, Fishbone, TapRooT-compatible) and track corrective actions to closure. The 8-hour fatality and 24-hour severe injury reporting windows don't slip because the record exists from the first phone notification. 

Observations & Near Misses

Observations & Near Misses

The single highest-leverage data source most contractors don't capture well. EHS Insight makes it a 30-second submission from any worker on site — safe condition, unsafe condition, safe act, unsafe act — with photo and location. Patterns surface in dashboards before they become incidents.

Training & Qualifications

Training & Qualifications

Track OSHA 10, OSHA 30, competent-person certifications, equipment-specific training, first aid/CPR, and trade-specific qualifications. Expiration alerts hit supervisors, not just the safety team. New hires move through orientation tracks that include the project-specific hazards and PPE requirements, not just the corporate slide deck.

Contractor & Sub-Management

Prequalification status, COIs, EMR documentation, training records, and site-specific orientation in one place. Sub crews don't show up at the gate without verified qualifications because the system flags it before the work order is approved.

Permit to Work

Permit Management

Hot work, confined space, energized electrical, excavation, working at heights — issue, approve, and close out permits with the right signatures, attached JHAs, and gas readings. The work doesn't happen until the permit is signed.

Reporting & Analytics

CAPA-SIF-Precursor-Analysis

TRIR, LTIR, DART, severity rate, recordables by Fatal Four category, near-miss-to-incident ratio, training compliance by crew, open CAPAs aging past due date — built in. Configurable executive dashboards for owner, board, and prime-contractor reporting.

Build, version, and deploy job hazard analyses by trade and task. Crews acknowledge the JHA from a phone before work starts, with photo evidence of the work face. New hazards surfaced during the day flow back into the next revision.
