Safety Walks — Overview

Ad-hoc site walks built around severity-rated observations that can be promoted to safety issues or escalated straight to incidents.

A safety walk is a quick, ad-hoc site inspection. Rather than a fixed checklist, it's built around observations — anything you see worth recording, from a hazard to a piece of good practice — each rated by severity.

Safety is in beta

Safety walks are part of the Safety module, which is in beta — in production and usable, but not yet part of a versioned release of its own.

Safety walks register with names, observation counts, and completion status — The safety walks register — observation counts and completion status

Starting a Walk

From Safety → Safety Walks, click Start walk, give it a name (e.g. "Morning walk — Tower A levels 5–7") and start. The walk opens in progress, ready for observations.

Logging Observations

As you move around the site, tap Log observation for each thing you see:

Severity — good, low, medium, high, or critical
Note — describe the hazard, condition, or good practice
Photo — capture evidence at the point of observation
Location — optionally capture GPS coordinates

Safety walk detail with observations rated by severity and promote/escalate actions — Observations rated by severity — each can be promoted to an issue or escalated to an incident

Promote and Escalate

Observations don't sit in isolation. From an observation you can:

Raise issue — promote it to a safety issue in the Issues register, so it's tracked to resolution. An owner and a due date are set there, on the issue
Escalate to incident — turn a serious finding straight into an incident with a full investigation

Once promoted or escalated, the observation shows an "Issue raised" or "Escalated" badge so you don't double-log it.

One tap, no re-typing

Promoting an observation carries the note, the photos and the severity across — you don't re-enter the description. Your policy can even auto-create an issue for every observation above good practice, or auto-escalate anything at or above a chosen severity.

Completing a Walk

When you're finished, tap Complete walk. The walk moves to completed and shows a summary — total observations, issues raised, and incidents escalated. Walks you haven't finished stay in progress.

Status	Meaning
In progress	Active — you're still logging observations
Completed	Finished, with a summary of what came out of it

Tips

Log good practice too — a "good" observation is a great way to credit crews
Capture location on serious findings so the exact spot is on record
Escalate early — if something looks like an incident, escalate rather than just noting it

Next Steps
