Health & Safety in Gaffer
The area it belongs to

The H&S paperwork gets done because it lives where the work is.

Risk assessments, method statements, permits, toolbox talks, inspections and registers, covering what an inspector, a main contractor or an insurer will ask for.

Win tenders that demand evidence, and sleep better knowing the file is complete.

Near-miss reports are one of the 40 things in health & safety. See the rest →

What you get
  • Log what nearly happened with the date, time, location and description, against the job or the site
  • Categorised by struck-by, falls, electrical, manual handling, chemical, collision, fire or structural
  • Potential severity from low up to could-cause-a-fatality, so the serious ones are not buried
  • Immediate action, root cause, corrective action and lessons learned recorded as the investigation runs
  • Filter for corrective actions past their due date on reports that are still open
  • Each report carries its own reference and a status of open, investigating or closed
Where it fits

Step 04 of the job: on site

The engineer taps “On my way” and the customer gets a text with an arrival window. On site: clock in, photos, the certificate for the job — EICR, Gas Safety, whatever the trade needs — signed on the device. No signal? It syncs later.

Health & Safety is where near-miss reports sits, and that is the step it shows up in most. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →

What are near-miss reports for?

Will this satisfy a main contractor asking for RAMS?

It produces the document they ask for, specific to the job rather than last year’s with the address changed, as a PDF you can send before you arrive. Their pre-qualification questions are their own, but the evidence is in one place.

Do the assessments have to be filled in on site?

That is the point of them, and the app is built for it — but they can be prepared in the office and signed on site, which is how most crews actually work.

Which plan is it on?

Every paid plan. Near-miss reports is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
