What is Site App Pro?

Site App Pro is a digital health and safety management software system founded in New Zealand.

Benefits of a digital cloud-based health and safety system:

  • Customisable forms: Create forms with our intuitive form builder and customise based on form information, access of user groups, scheduling, approvals, workflows and reminders. 
  • Automated workflows: As one form is completed another can follow automatically to ensure all information is captured at the right time. 
  • Automated reminders: Set up automatic reminders so your team can ensure that your equipment, licenses, certifications and permits are up to date at all times. 
  • Internal communication: Message a user, group or assign corrective actions / tasks to prompt your team to complete tasks within the app.
  • Role specific to-do lists: Your team can log on daily to see their to-do lists and be up to date with all forms and requirements at all times.
  • Insights + analysis: Analyse form data to identify trends and mitigate risks.
  • Centralisation: Access your health and safety any time, anywhere in one central location.
  • Searchability: Easily and quickly find what you are looking for by searching within Site App Pro for your forms, equipment, resources and more!

What is a paper-based health and safety?

For a paper-based health and safety system, a company might have templates online that they print, physically write on and store in a filing cabinet. Paper templates or copies of health and safety forms are used by a health and safety manager or team to complete SSSPs, JSAs, toolbox talks, hazard analysis and incident management. 

Benefits of a paper-based health and safety system:

  • Cost effective: Paper and printing costs. 
  • Accessibility: Ready and available at all times anywhere.
  • No devices required: No phones or tablets required by the company or contractors to complete the work.
  • Familiarity: The whole team is familiar with the process, no learning curve or training required.
  • No system downtime: Fully reliable, no outage will impact using it.

We have been using Site App Pro for the last year now and have found the app to be great. With the easy app layout we have found that staff on the frontline have been more engaged and open to filling out the required daily forms. The support has been amazing and it helps to have locally based support on hand. We look forward to unleashing the apps full potential across both our organizations.
