Safety & Compliance

Pass every OSHA audit.

Keep your OSHA 300 log current, map every citation to the standards that drive it, and prove compliance to any owner, auditor, or insurer. POD builds the record from the reports your crews already file, so audit-ready is the default, not a fire drill.

The compliance stack

Compliance is a record,
not a scramble.

Five layers turn a jobsite into an audit-ready record. Miss one and you are rebuilding it under a deadline. POD builds the record behind them from the work your team already does.

01

Recordkeeping

The OSHA 300 log, the 300A annual summary, and the 301 incident report. Keep the forms and the incidents behind them with your daily record so the data is captured once, not reconstructed the week before an audit.

02

Inspections & audits

A documented walk on a real cadence, each finding mapped to the standard it protects against, so the effort lands where citations actually come from.

03

Corrective-action closeout

Every hazard tracked from identified to corrected, with aging on the open ones. A high closeout rate is the difference between a program that documents risk and one that removes it.

04

Training & toolbox

Toolbox talks, certifications, and orientation completion, the leading controls an auditor and an insurer both ask to see.

05

Audit-ready record

Everything an inspector, owner, or underwriter asks for kept in one place and ready to share, so an audit is a formality instead of a scramble.

The numbers auditors and insurers ask for

Compliance you can put a number on

Every gauge below is the same math POD runs on your data, computed live from the reports, inspections, and incidents your crews file.

0.89 beats the 1.00 average and clears the ceiling most owners set. Down from 1.05 a year ago is a lower premium and a wider bid list.

Lost-Time Injury Rate counts the injuries that cost a shift or more: 2 cases across 480,000 hours. It is the severity line an underwriter reads first.

41 hazards found, 38 corrected, only 3 open. A rising observation count with fast closeout is the leading signal an auditor trusts.

OSHA recordkeeping

The three forms an audit always asks for

Recordkeeping is where most contractors lose a citation, not on the jobsite. Keep these current and the audit is a formality.

OSHA 300 Log

The running log of every recordable injury and illness a covered employer keeps through the year. POD reads the incident forms and daily reports behind it, so the data that feeds your log is captured consistently.

OSHA 300A Summary

The annual summary of the year’s recordables, posted where workers can see it from February 1 to April 30. Know the totals behind it before posting season, not after.

OSHA 301 Incident

The detailed report behind each recordable case. POD keeps each incident with the daily record and photos from that day, so the full story is one search away.

Why POD, not a binder

Compliance built from the work, not bolted on after it.

The record builds itself as the work happens. A foreman files a daily report or snaps a photo, and POD reads it the way a safety lead would: the recordable is captured, the corrective action is tracked to closeout, the inspection is logged, and every KPI on this page updates in real time. By the time an owner or auditor asks, the file is already there.

One living record

Inspections, corrective actions, training, and the incident forms behind your logs in one place, current to today instead of reconstructed before an audit.

Risk where citations start

The exposure wheel maps the ten standards behind most OSHA penalties nationally, and reads your own uploaded citations into the same view so you can aim inspections where your risk really is.

Every site in one view

Each project rolls its EMR and recordable rate up to one portfolio view, so a safety problem on one job surfaces next to the others instead of hiding in a binder.

Make audit-ready the default

Start with the free safety inspection template to standardize the walk, then let POD keep the log current and the KPIs live. No credit card, no manual data entry.

Direct answers

Safety compliance questions

What is construction safety compliance software?▾

It is software that keeps a jobsite compliant with OSHA and captures the record that proves it: the 300 log and 300A summary, inspections and their corrective actions, training and toolbox completion, and the safety KPIs owners and insurers ask for. The best systems build that record from the reports crews already file, so compliance is a byproduct of daily work rather than a separate binder someone assembles before an audit.

Does POD handle OSHA recordkeeping?▾

POD reads the daily reports, incident forms, and photos your team already produces, identifies the recordable injuries and illnesses, and keeps them organized with the rest of your project record. It computes the recordable-based metrics behind your logs, such as TRIR and DART, and keeps every incident report searchable, so the data that feeds your OSHA 300 log and 300A summary is captured consistently rather than reconstructed from memory before an audit.

What OSHA records is a construction contractor required to keep?▾

Most construction employers with more than ten employees must maintain the OSHA 300 log of recordable injuries and illnesses, post the 300A summary from February 1 to April 30 each year, and keep a 301 incident report for each case. Records are retained for five years, and many employers must also submit 300A data electronically. Some low-hazard industries are partially exempt, but general construction is not.

How does safety compliance affect my insurance and the work I can bid?▾

Your claim history sets your EMR, the experience modification rate that multiplies your workers-compensation premium. Below 1.00 means fewer claims than expected for your class. Because many project owners refuse to let a contractor on site above a set EMR threshold, the compliance record you keep today decides both what you pay to insure the work and which jobs you are eligible to bid tomorrow.

Can POD track safety compliance across multiple jobsites?▾

Yes. Each site keeps its own recordkeeping, inspections, and corrective-action closeout, and the portfolio view puts every site’s EMR and recordable rate side by side, so a safety problem on one job is visible before it becomes a claim or a citation.
