OSHA, heat, and SOS: safety built in.
WorkTrac's safety suite combines OSHA incident reporting, climate safety alerts, and emergency SOS relay in one workforce management app for field crews. OSHA reporting is in every plan: any worker logs an incident from near-miss to fatality with photos and witnesses, managers review it with root cause and corrective action, and the dashboard keeps a rolling twelve-month recordable count. The optional Climate Safety add-on gives crews an on-the-spot check that returns the heat index, the OSHA action level for it, current air quality, and any active National Weather Service alert for where they are standing, logged to the org's safety record. SOS is a one-tap emergency alert with live GPS pushed to every manager, and it queues offline so a dead-zone SOS sends the moment the phone finds signal. Incidents file offline from the field and sync without duplicating, so the record exists even when the site has no coverage.
OSHA incident reporting, in every tier
OSHA reporting is the single most important safety feature for field service contractors, and the one most commonly paywalled behind enterprise tiers. WorkTrac puts it in every plan, on the principle that even the smallest contractor on the entry plan still has to file OSHA 300 logs and still has to defend workers' comp claims. It ships on Android, iOS, and the dashboard, so a multi-platform crew gets parity.
The incident form captures the fields OSHA cares about: severity (near-miss through fatality), date and time, location, the project or task, the injured person, injury type, body parts affected, witnesses, and a description. Only the description is required, so a foreman in the field can file a near-miss in under a minute without blocking work and circle back with detail later. Photos attach with captions. During review, a manager adds the root cause, the corrective action, the OSHA-recordable flag, and days away, so the finished record reads the way an inspector expects.
The dashboard keeps the numbers a safety manager actually watches: a rolling twelve-month recordable count, thirty-day counts by severity, and every incident filterable by status, severity, and date range. When it is time to file the OSHA 300, the records are in one place instead of a glovebox.
Climate safety: heat, weather, AQI
The optional Climate Safety add-on is built for outdoor work in conditions OSHA increasingly enforces against. A crew member taps one button on site and gets the conditions for exactly where they are standing: temperature, humidity, heat index, and the action level that goes with it. It is an on-demand check a crew builds into the day, not an alarm that watches the sky for you.
The heat tiers step up at roughly 81, 91, 104, and 115 degrees of heat index, each with the OSHA guidance for that level, from shade and water breaks up to stopping outdoor work. The same check returns the current air quality index with the EPA band, useful during fire season, and any active National Weather Service alert for that point. Every heat check is logged in the org's safety record with the reading, the GPS, who ran it, and when, so a contractor can later show the conditions were checked and what the reading was.
SOS relay for crews working alone
SOS is a one-tap emergency alert from the mobile app: the worker taps the button, confirms, and the app grabs live GPS and pushes the alert to every manager and owner in the org. The dashboard shows the event with its location, the alert fires a webhook for anything else you have wired up, and if the worker has no signal the SOS queues on the phone and sends itself the moment a connection returns. Every SOS event is logged with who, where, and when, which is the documentation that matters after a lone-worker incident. SOS relay is available on the Enterprise tier or as a $9/mo add-on, and Climate Safety is a $19/mo add-on, while OSHA incident reporting stays in every plan.
Why it matters for construction, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and landscaping
Construction crews working on multi-trade sites need incident records that hold up against the GC and the insurance carrier. HVAC techs in attics during summer heat are squarely in OSHA's heat-illness enforcement window. Plumbers under slabs and in confined spaces need lone-worker SOS as a real tool, not an emergency-number poster. Electricians working live circuits have a near-miss-to-incident ratio that benefits from frictionless logging: they will log if it takes 90 seconds, not if it takes 20 minutes of paperwork. Landscaping crews in fire-season smoke or summer heat hit climate thresholds routinely. The safety suite is designed so each of these patterns has the right tool in the right tier.
Common questions, answered.
Yes. OSHA incident reporting is included in every WorkTrac plan. Any worker logs an incident with severity, photos, and witnesses; a manager reviews it with root cause, corrective action, and the OSHA-recordable flag; and the dashboard keeps a rolling twelve-month recordable count. There is no upsell for the core OSHA workflow.
