Pros
Easy of use, friendly staff. I have been too two trains on the software and it was a pleasure working with your employees.
Overall I have had a great experience with Safesite. I love the email reminders, and how easy it is to use.
The app is user friendly and puts your safety checklists at your finger tips. It provides customization, that allows your organization the ability to focus the user on the important items/ tasks.
What I like best about Safesite is it’s ease of use and end of week reports. Very easy to understand and monitor.
Cons
Not every trade is on there, When i'm doing my site work and i'm looking at fire sprinklers there's nothing on there for fire sprinkler trade or Stone workers that apply stone to exterior walls.
You have to leave notes on every inspection reports for it to go through.
Very dependent on internet access. We have projects where internet is very low or non-existent in those cases this app was useless.
I don't feel that any features are missing for the industry I'm utilizing it for.

"FREE & FRIENDLY"
Overall: Overall the apps were very helpful in terms of reporting any incident. That is the most of it we like because before this we had a problem that after-hours then the safety team will be notified with any incidents.
Pros: The interface on the web is clear which the management could see the overall status of our sites. We received a full report every day. Ease our internal accident report. Although it is free, most of the features can be used.
Cons: No phone notification sounds like maybe a "ding!" sound or whatever when someone lodges any report.
"Safety Management System (Safesite)"
Pros: One of the greatest attributes of the software is the metrics that the software provides. The Safety Management System (SMS) has the ability to track all inspections, observations, hazards, and meetings through the lifecycle of the project. The system allows metrics to be reviewed whether its last week's findings or for the last 6 months. This function gives teams the ability to analyze findings to perform a Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) trend analysis. With this trend analysis, teams can focus on key HSE issues.
Cons: One con is the ability to add points of contact (POC) automatically into their respected team/project. If the POC is invited to the project but doesn't follow the necessary onboarding steps, then the POC is never added to their respected team/project. This con leaves a gap in the hazard notification process to alert the respected POC that there is an issue that needs to be corrected.
"Safesite App"
Overall: Awesome, easy way to keep up with safety on a job site.
Pros: Easy to access in the field and on the go.
Cons: It's glitches I decent amount. Could be bad cell reception in the field but works well for the most part.
"Safesite review"
Overall: Overall I am pleased. For construction personnel we need to have things user friendly as construction is fast paced. How ever, I am pleased with the product and becoming more familiar the more I use it.
Pros: It brings items to by attention that I would not normally be aware of. I also like that I can add a photo to a hazard or observation. Having all my safety and QC notes readily available and at my finger tips is great. This app lets me capture items and close them out if need be in real time.
Cons: I would like all of our listed safety and QC items to be in order. It would also be easier if the QC items were separate from safety. When out in the field "I" don't like to be held up looking at my phone and scrolling through looking for a specific inspection or hazard item. It causes me to wait until I get back to my desk. If they were all numbered and in order we could get used to knowing where they are and save time scrolling.
"Convenient & intuitive Safety Inspection app"
Overall: My two biggest benefits with the app are first the convenience factor day to day, allowing me to perform safety inspections and document job risks being corrected in real time. Secondly, overall the app has been a very useful tool for our organization in our Safety Program, and the Safesite team has been great with taking feedback and making improvements to the product for our end use as their customer.
Pros: I use the Safesite app on the worksite to perform my weekly safety inspections. It is incredibly convenient and easy to perform safety inspections in real-time, document safe jobsite observations as well as risks that need to be corrected. The app is so much better and convenient than pen and paper safety forms that we used before in our Safety program. This tool has helped create a culture of safety within our organization and with our trade partners. This is a very important, and sometimes overlooked aspect of the home building industry.
Cons: The first versions of the app had some functionality issues, and navigation around risk/hazard observations was repetitive and little confusing. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and the Safesite team have done a number of updates to the app in the past year and the issues are gone. Functionality and layout on the app is much smoother with the current updates.
"Safesite review"
Overall: Overall it is a great tool to get our Nashville division onboard with overall jobsite safety.
Pros: How user friendly it is, and whenever I have a question, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is always quick to guide me through what I need.
Cons: The grades that are given do not seem to have any metric to them. I am the Nashville safety director, and I get a lot of questions from other construction managers about why they have a "D" rating for their community when they are always completing their inspections per week. I also often get a community that is put into the Nashville division, it is not hard to remove, however it does get somewhat annoying doing it every week.
"Safesite Android App Review"
Overall: As a user, this reminds me to complete required inspections on a weekly basis. Support has been OK in the past (setup problems from long ago), however they have not been needed in about two years, so that speaks well to the robustness of the product.
Pros: Safesite as an application is fairly easy to use. The development team tends to update the product's (app) user interface with little warning, meaning that it changes in subtle ways from month to month.
Cons: Weekly reminders equivalent to "Hey! It's Wednesday! Have you checked your Safesite?". I walk my required inspections on Monday - check the report status before you send more unneeded spam to my cellular notification tray! Safety resource lookups like internal company policy or OSHA tabbed pages should be available on a question-by-question (for targeted inspections) basis for reference.
"Safe site works. "
Overall: My experience using Safesite has been a positive one. There are always apt to improve and help solve any issues that might occur
Pros: Helps keep track of incidents on job. Quick reminders for safety checks. Easy to access and navigate. Great support.
Cons: There’s really no cons I can speak of. Other than having to track and monitor safety on full grown men and women. That should know better. But that is what we do to keep people coming back and quality of life at a high standard.
"Satisfied customer"
Overall: Great experience and I would recommend it to others in my field.
Pros: Safesite is an easy to use app. It gets the information out in timely manner and is very helpful in communicating with our trades.
Cons: Sometimes when using the "meeting" function it can be slow to respond and confusing.
"safesite compliance great tool for success in osha management"
Overall: very helpful tool used by all affiliated trades keeping personnel and businesses safe
Pros: accessibility to osha approved weekly inspections and trade connectivity
Cons: I am in area with poor reception up in mountains so inspections don't always get uploaded when closed
"Ease of use "
Overall: Safesite has been proactive in learning the needs of the customer.
Pros: The software is very easy to use, navigation through the app and site is very direct.
Cons: There are enhancements that team is working on that will only make the product better.
"Great software "
Overall: Overall I have had a great experience with Safesite. I love the email reminders, and how easy it is to use.
Pros: I like the availability of having it on you phone or tablet, enabling us to have it on the site with us at all times. This gives us the opportunity to take a picture, and log any information need right there on the spot. That ability to digitally have all the information needed in the case of an OSHA inspection, rather than having the paper forms in a binder at the office, also makes it an amazing tool.
Cons: Some of the topics do not pertain to my particular line of work. I feel that if there was an area that you can set up a filter, to have only what I can use on my site on a normal bases, it will help select a meeting topic easier.
"With Safesite compliance is ensured"
Pros: Safesite is one of the best web content compliance software in the market with its extensive features.
Cons: That would be so much good if the pricing of Safesite was cheaper and their support quality was better.
"Construction Manager"
Overall: I have had an incredible experience with Safesite. I feel I can contact any of the personnel at Safesite and they will be there for me. Very dedicated and professional. I feel the field inspectors understand what we go through out here in the field. I have had zero incidents at my jobsite and I believe it is because of the diligence and the team work. I feel that Safesite has my back with any issues.
Pros: Ease of use. User friendly. Support CSR and his Staff outstanding. I feel they have my back in any situation. It has been demonstrated in the past for me.
Cons: Uploading pictures can be challenging at times
"Great product "
Overall: Instead of doing all your work in the office, you can now do it in the field
Pros: Easy to use and no paperwork, all done on your phone.
Cons: Not every trade is on there, When i'm doing my site work and i'm looking at fire sprinklers there's nothing on there for fire sprinkler trade or Stone workers that apply stone to exterior walls.
"Justin Franks review "
Overall: Safesite is easy to use and your staff quickly answers any question we may need.
Pros: Easy of use, friendly staff. I have been too two trains on the software and it was a pleasure working with your employees.
Cons: On Inspection, when selection a pass or fail on each item. Make it automatically jump to the next inspection item when done
"Safesite making Safety easier "
Pros: Safesite allows me to log inspections,hazards, meetings, and observations. It allows me to be out in the field doing my job instead of stuck behind a desk. It's user friendly and Safesite has been able to accommodate and change things specific to our team's needs.
Cons: none, Safesite is always willing to help
"Pros and Cons "
Overall: See above- OSHA has accepted our use of this program.
Pros: The use of this product was part of an acceptable solution to an OSHA violation for Fall Protection and PPE findings. The Safesite team was able to set up an inspection list that we were familiar with.
Cons: Some of the individual items are not totally accurate.
"Hammers Construction "
Overall: Our employees love it.
Pros: It's easy to maneuver thru. Very easy to teach.

Pros: You can easily pop out your phone or tablet and use it in the field immediately!
Cons: At first there were a few glitches but after everything got settled in it was very simple to use.
"Meritage - Southern Arizona"
Overall: Safesite is a great way to conduct a safety review of your jobsite. Ease of use makes it very efficient to use. Format is pretty straight forward, and a breeze to navigate. I have already recommended to several colleagues.
Pros: Easy to use. Convenient. Reminders sent.
Cons: I don`t have a way to check my previous inspections. I don`t know if there is a way to import photos from my cell phone. No specific topic /question regarding rebar safety.
"Safesite is Fantastic "
Overall: Safesite has allowed me to efficiently track the safety performance of my trades. I can easily search past actions per trade to effectively resolve revolving safety concerns and it helps me monitor my job site with the use of their meetings, hazards, observations and inspections. Since implementing the use of the safesite software, my job site has become safer and my trades are working harder to ensure it stays that way.
Pros: Safesite is user friendly, the mobile app is convenient and easy to navigate.
Cons: Nothing, safesite is a streamlined way to document and record incidents, safety ricks and safety inspections on the job site

"New Home Building Safety Reports for Construction Managers"
Overall: I am using this software for documented safety reports and overall job site safety has greatly improved from week to week.
Pros: This software is very easy to navigate through with a wide range of topics that will match your particular industry. If a topic that you might want to discuss is not there it can always be added.
Cons: I don't feel that any features are missing for the industry I'm utilizing it for.
"Great product that is continuing to grow and expand"
Pros: ability to track and maintain the OSHA safety of my Jobs sites. The ease of having a encompassing data base for the entirety of a job or project that states the issues as well as provide photographic evidence of the infraction.
Cons: Would like to have different user access. Such as users and vendors, it would help maintain and set accurate goals for each user.
