FAQ’s

Why do I need to conduct Safety Meetings?
Safety Meetings not only play a vital role in communicating hazards and training your workers, they are an essential part of Construction Safety Management.

Does OSHA require Safety Meetings?
Yes, OSHA requires Contractors to conduct Safety Meetings on a regular basis and record the attendance of those present in the meeting.

Why should I use this Safety Meeting App?
The benefit of utilizing this app is the ease of use as well as the practicality of having this important resource right on your mobile device anytime, anywhere.  Paper documentation is often cumbersome to prepare, send, and retrieve on jobsites.  Information is available immediately as it is saved by the employees in the office or field using the app or customer website portal.

Does having this app guarantee OSHA compliance?
This app was developed as a resource for contractors, but it is the sole responsibility of the customer to identify & correct hazards, safety issues, concerns or violations that exist in your jobsite including compliance with Local, State or Federal regulations that may be applicable to your location or operation.

How does the 15-day trial work?
Each customer must start with a free 15-day trial.  The first day of the actual subscription begins on the 16^th day, and the payment processes based on subscription plan you have selected. If you wish to cancel, please make sure it’s before your trial has ended. After the subscription, refunds will not be issued. We do not prorate for partial months used.  We can upgrade your account as your company’s needs change.

How long am I committed to use the App?
There are no long-term commitments. We offer yearly subscriptions, which you select at sign-up. If you wish to cancel before your renewal date, please contact us.

How can I update the credit card I use to pay the subscription?
You can call or email us to update the credit card used for your subscription.  If the credit card we have on file for you expires, you will receive an e-mail with a link to update your credit card information so that your subscription will not be interrupted due to nonpayment.

What is a Multi-User account and how do I decide how many users I need?
When you sign up for the Safety Meeting App you will receive one username (admin) and password if you go for the 1 user subscription.  For smaller companies, having one username and password works just fine.   However, for companies that have multiple individuals either leading safety meetings or recording incidents, additional usernames and passwords would be beneficial.

Here is an example of how this works:

I have a company that has 50 employees and eight different foreman or leaders that are required to lead a Safety Meeting each week each of these foreman have 5 crews members.  You will want to sign-up for the 10 user plan.

Once you sign up, we will contact you by email and a phone call to help you get your company trained and ready to use the app.

Can I upgrade to different subscription plan?
Absolutely, we understand that the needs of your company may change. To upgrade your subscription, contact us by LiveChat, e-mail, or by phone.

How do I cancel my subscription?
Cancellations can be accepted by e-mail, phone, or by contacting us on LiveChat.  We do ask that you provide us with the reason you would like to cancel. This helps us to know how we can best serve our customers in the future, and also record our cancellations.   Please note we do not prorate for partial months or process refunds due to app not being used.

Can I delete an Employee?
Not from your mobile device, but you can delete an employee through your customer website portal.
