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 tier including Free — log incidents with severity, attach photos, capture witnesses, root cause, and corrective action, then export PDFs ready for inspectors and OSHA 300 logs. The optional Climate Safety add-on layers on real-time heat-index, severe-weather, and air-quality alerts that trigger by job-site location, aligned with OSHA heat thresholds for outdoor work. SOS relay is a one-tap emergency alert with live GPS sent to managers, designed for crews working alone, after hours, or in remote sites. Every safety record carries a cryptographic work proof signature and a GPS stamp, so incidents hold up under workers' comp claims, OSHA inspections, and liability disputes the same way every other WorkTrac record does.
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 tier including Free, on the principle that a small contractor without a paid plan still has to file OSHA 300 logs and still has to defend workers' comp claims. The feature shipped to the Android app in March 2026, the dashboard the same month, and to iOS in May 2026, so a multi-platform crew gets parity.
The incident form captures the fields OSHA cares about: incident type, severity (near-miss through fatality), date and time of occurrence, witnesses, body parts affected, injury type, root cause, immediate corrective action, and long-term corrective action. Each field is optional except the type, severity, and date, so a foreman in the field can file a near-miss report in under 90 seconds without blocking work — and circle back to add detail later. Photos attach with the same GPS-stamping as the rest of WorkTrac. The full incident plus photos plus witness statements export as a single PDF ready for the inspector.
OSHA 300 log export pulls every recordable incident in a date range into the standard OSHA-300 format. The dashboard rolls up YTD recordable incidents, near-misses by severity, and trending root-cause categories so a safety manager can spot patterns before they become claims.
Climate safety: heat, weather, AQI
The optional Climate Safety add-on is built for outdoor work in conditions OSHA increasingly enforces against. The system pulls real-time heat-index, severe-weather, and air-quality data for each job site's coordinates and surfaces alerts to the assigned crew and their managers when thresholds are crossed.
Heat thresholds follow OSHA's NIOSH-aligned tiers: caution at heat index 80°F, extreme caution at 90°F, danger at 103°F, and extreme danger at 124°F. Severe-weather alerts cover lightning, high wind, tornado warnings, and flash flood for the job-site location. Air-quality alerts trigger at AQI levels OSHA considers harmful for outdoor work — particularly relevant for landscaping and construction crews during West Coast fire season. Each alert is logged in the org's safety records with the timestamp and the conditions that triggered it, so a contractor can later show they were aware of the conditions and what they did about it.
A safety meeting is happening between WorkTrac and OSHA contacts in late March on the long-tail of these alerts; the design is built around what outdoor-work compliance is actually moving toward, not just current thresholds.
SOS relay for crews working alone
SOS relay is a one-tap emergency alert from the mobile app: the worker holds the SOS button for two seconds, the app captures live GPS coordinates, and the alert pushes immediately to every manager and admin in the org with their phone numbers populated. The alert includes the worker's name, current GPS, the last known task they were on, and a direct-dial number so the manager can reach them. SOS records are signed in the cryptographic work proof chain, so a contractor can prove the alert happened, when it happened, and where — critical for liability defense and OSHA documentation of a lone-worker incident.
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 without an add-on conversation.
Common questions, answered.
Yes. OSHA incident reporting is included in every WorkTrac tier including Free. Log incidents with severity, attach photos, capture witnesses and corrective actions, and export PDFs or OSHA 300 logs. There is no upsell for the core OSHA workflow.
