1,069 Workers Died.
What's Your Plan?
Last year, 1,069 construction workers went to work and never came home. OSHA's Fatal Four caused 60% of those deaths. Your superintendent says "we do toolbox talks." Can he prove it for the last 90 days?
The Four Ways Workers Die
OSHA has identified these four hazard categories for decades. They still kill over 600 workers every year. Documentation is the first line of defense.
Falls
38.7%Leading killer in construction. Ladders, scaffolds, roofs, unprotected edges. One missing guardrail. One unclipped harness. Your superintendent says they "do harness inspections." Can he prove it for the last 90 days?
Struck-By
15.4%Falling objects, swinging loads, vehicle strikes. The crane operator didn't see the worker. The forklift blind spot wasn't flagged. The overhead work zone wasn't barricaded.
Electrocution
7.2%Contact with overhead power lines. Damaged extension cords. Improper grounding. GFCI not tested. The electrician said it was de-energized. Nobody verified with LOTO.
Caught-In/Between
5.4%Trench collapse. Unguarded machinery. Compressed between equipment and structure. The excavation was "only 4 feet." The trench box was "on order."
From 4 Open Gaps to 0 Fatalities
POD's safety shield sweeps across your jobsite, documenting every Fatal Four hazard. Red zones turn green as prevention is verified. Every day. Automatically.
How POD Defends Against the Fatal Four
Documentation is not paperwork. It is the difference between a near-miss and a body bag.
Daily Hazard Documentation
Every Fatal Four hazard is captured in structured fields from daily voice reports. Fall protection status, LOTO compliance, struck-by prevention, trench protection — logged with timestamps, not narratives.
Near-Miss Velocity Tracking
POD tracks near-miss events per category per week. When near-miss velocity increases in any Fatal Four category, automatic alerts fire before an incident occurs.
Stop-Work Authority Logging
Every stop-work event is captured with who called it, why, duration, and resolution. Tracks safety culture strength — companies with strong stop-work programs have 52% fewer fatalities.
OSHA-Ready Documentation
POD maintains continuous 90-day rolling documentation for every safety category. When OSHA investigators arrive, produce fall protection logs, LOTO records, and training verification in 15 minutes.
Fatal Four Defense — Every Hazard Documented, Every Intervention Tracked
These KPIs auto-populate from daily field voice reports. No typing. No forms. No end-of-day recall.

Stop Work Authority (SWA)
Built for Life Safety
Every feature exists because a worker's life depends on documentation being complete, current, and accessible.
Voice-First Safety Reporting
Superintendents report fall protection, LOTO, and hazard controls via 5-minute voice reports. No typing, no forms, no end-of-day recall.
Automatic Hazard Categorization
POD AI categorizes every reported hazard into Fatal Four categories, sub-categories, and severity levels — automatically.
Trend Alerts Before Incidents
When near-miss velocity spikes in any hazard category, alerts fire to safety directors and project managers before an incident occurs.
Training Compliance Verification
Track which workers have current certifications for high-risk activities — scaffolding, LOTO, confined space, crane operation.
Photo-Documented Inspections
Every harness inspection, guardrail check, and GFCI test is photo-documented with GPS, timestamp, and inspector identification.
Multi-Project Safety Rollup
Executive dashboards aggregate Fatal Four metrics across all projects. Identify which jobsites have gaps before OSHA does.
