Why teams switch

Retire the paper accident book

When reporting is difficult, it gets skipped and the near misses, observations, and hazards that go unreported can become tomorrow’s accidents. Safety Mate® makes reporting effortless, turning every safety event into an opportunity to learn, improve, and prevent harm.

Report in a few taps

Workers can record incidents, near misses, observations and hazards from any device, attach photos and submit in seconds.

  • Mobile first reporting
  • Photo and evidence capture
  • Standardised event types and fields

Investigate properly

Launch investigations from any event, record findings, assign corrective actions with owners and due dates, and monitor everything to close-out.

  • Investigation workflows
  • Corrective actions with reminders
  • Complete audit trail

Prevent the next one

Live dashboards and trend analysis show where events cluster, so you can act on patterns - and RIDDOR reportable events are flagged for reporting.

  • Event trends and dashboards
  • RIDDOR flagging
  • Executive ready reporting

Frictionless reporting

Capture safety events at the moment they happen

The best safety data is captured on the spot, not remembered at a desk. Whether it's an incident, a near miss, an observation or a hazard, Safety Mate® guides reporters through standardised fields, captures photos and location, and notifies key stakeholders automatically the moment a report is submitted.

Multiple event types

Incidents, near misses, observations and hazards recorded with consistent fields.

Automatic notifications

The right managers are alerted the moment a report is submitted.

Evidence attached

Photos, documents and relevant details captured with the report.

Observations

Turn what your teams notice into action

Most incidents are preceded by something somebody saw. Observations give every worker a way to flag what they notice in seconds - so concerns can be dealt with in good time.

Reported in seconds

A few taps from any device, with photos attached on the spot.

Routed automatically

The right people are notified and actions assigned before it becomes an incident.

Feeds your trends

Observations roll into your dashboards as leading indicators, alongside incidents and near misses.

Hazards

Get hazards fixed before they hurt anyone

A trailing cable, a damaged guard, a blocked fire exit - hazards are cheap to fix and expensive to ignore. Workers report them in seconds, and every hazard gets actioned with an owner, a due date and a fix.

Snap it, send it

A photo and a few taps from any device captures the hazard on the spot.

Owned until fixed

Corrective actions are assigned with owners and due dates and tracked to close-out.

Feeds your risk picture

Hazard reports feed can back into your risk assessments and risk register.

Investigations

From report to root cause to close-out

Every event record carries its full history: the initial report, investigation findings, corrective actions and sign-off. Nothing is closed until the actions that prevent recurrence are actually done.

Structured investigations

Record findings and root causes with a consistent methodology.

Corrective actions tracked

Actions assigned with owners, due dates and automatic reminders.

RIDDOR-ready records

Flag reportable incidents and have the data you need ready for the HSE.

Learn and prevent

See the patterns before they become accidents

Live analytics dashboards roll every report up into trends by location, and event type. Leadership sees lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR), open actions and event rates in real time and the data is export-ready for executive analyis and audits.

Realtime Data Analysis

Event rates, LTIFR, open actions and completion status updated in real time.

Trend analysis

Spot clusters by location, activity or time - and intervene early.

Exportable reports

Professional reports for executive presentations and regulatory compliance.

Fast Facts

Share the learning while it still matters

When an accident is reported, Safety Mate® drafts a Fast Facts summary - an AI-generated briefing of what happened and the lessons to act on - ready to share with your whole workforce the same day, not weeks later.

AI-drafted briefings

A briefing generated automatically from the event report for you to review prior to sharing.

Signed and evidenced

Distributed for digital signature, so you can prove who has been briefed.

Understood by everyone

Translated where needed so every person gets the message.
