Raken's safety tools are built for the way construction teams actually work — fast, field-first, and fully documented. From daily safety meetings to incident reporting and compliance dashboards, every safety feature in Raken is designed to reduce risk, keep crews protected, and give your office team the records they need when it matters most.


Safety Features Overview

Raken's safety and quality control features are accessible from every project on both the web app and mobile app under Safety & QC. The full suite includes:

  • Checklists — complete digital safety and quality inspections in the field

  • Toolbox Talks — schedule and deliver safety meetings with digital attendance and signatures

  • Observations — log and track positive or negative jobsite safety and quality observations

  • Incidents — document and report jobsite incidents including near misses, injuries, and property damage

  • Safety & QC Insights — company-wide dashboards tracking checklist compliance and quality control trends

  • Forms — digitize, complete, and share company or government-required documents

  • OSHA ITA Integration — submit recordable incident data directly to the OSHA Injury Tracking Application


Checklists

Checklists let your field team complete digital safety and quality inspections directly from the jobsite using Raken's built-in template library or your own custom templates. Each item can be marked Pass, Fail, or N/A. Failed items support corrective action notes and photo attachments. Completed checklists generate PDF reports and feed into Safety & QC Insights dashboards.

Custom checklist templates and scheduling require the Performance Plan. The Raken built-in library is available on all plans.


Toolbox Talks

Toolbox Talks let you schedule and deliver digital safety meetings to your crew from Raken's library of 100+ pre-written topics in English and Spanish — or your own custom topics. Workers sign digitally on the mobile device. Completed talks are tracked with attendance records and feed directly into compliance reports. Available on all plans.


Observations

Observations let supervisors and field crews log jobsite safety and quality concerns — positive or negative — in real time. Each observation is categorized by type, priority, and location, assigned to a team member for resolution, and tracked from open to closed. Observations support photo and file attachments and are exportable in reports. Available on all plans.


Incidents

Incident Tracking lets your team document jobsite events — near misses, injuries, property damage, equipment failures, and more — with full detail including people involved, contributing factors, and corrective actions. Records are stored per project and available in exports. Raken integrates with the OSHA ITA for direct electronic submission. Available on all plans.


Safety & QC Insights

Safety & QC Insights aggregates checklist and quality control data from across all your projects into visual dashboards — HSE checklist completion, compliance by work unit, quality control trends, open issues, and more. Available on all plans; requires active checklist use to populate.


Forms

Raken Forms lets your team digitize, complete, annotate, and share any company or government-required PDF document — directly from the web or mobile app. Upload company-wide templates once and make them available across all projects. Requires the Performance Plan.


Safety Reports

Every safety feature in Raken has a corresponding report available from the project Reports dropdown — including Checklists, Observations, Toolbox talks, Toolbox talks attendance, and Toolbox talks compliance. All reports can be run on demand or scheduled for automatic delivery.


Technical Specifications

  • Compatibility: iOS 15+, Android 10+, and all major web browsers

  • Offline Capability: Yes — checklists, toolbox talks, observations, and incidents can all be created on mobile while offline; syncs on reconnect

  • Plan Required: Most safety features available on all plans; custom checklist templates, scheduling, and Forms require the Performance Plan

  • Role Required: All project users for field actions; Account or Project Administrator for templates, scheduling, and reports


Considerations

  • Custom checklist templates and scheduling require the Performance Plan.

  • Forms requires the Performance Plan.
