The construction page names QR-code equipment inspections, offline mobile reporting, contractor risk, toolbox talks and Procore and Spectrum integrations.Safety and site-operations platform for owners and general contractors that ties verified worker identity and site access to daily safety routines. It offers crew safety visibility, safety compliance management and preventative risk intelligence, turning worker and site safety data into closed-loop safety workflows tied to each worker and site. Re-read Oct 18, 2026: workforce features include SMS or QR self-onboarding, 3D facial recognition access control, digital turnstiles, real-time headcount and credential checks; safety features include mandatory pre-task plans with supervisor sign-off, permits that cannot be bypassed, a JHA library, multilingual toolbox talks with 200+ topics, and forms aimed at OSHA recordkeeping and NYC DOB requirements.
