Digital vs paper health and safety system

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.
