Industrial safety · on the floor

Fast, audit-ready job safety recordsBuilt for the floor where the work actually happens.

For small and midsize manufacturers, AI turns a job photo and short work scope into a structured JHA draft. A supervisor reviews and signs the record.

Where Pretakt sits

The gap below the enterprise tools and above the clipboard.

Intelex, Cority, and VelocityEHS are right for the 500-employee manufacturer with a dedicated EHS director. SafetyCulture is right for the multi-site franchise. They are wrong for the 40-person fabrication shop whose safety officer is also the shipping lead.

Pretakt helps small and midsize manufacturers document job hazards without starting from a blank form. Add a job photo and work scope; AI drafts a structured JHA for a supervisor to review and sign.

How a job runs

Three actions. One structured job safety record.

01

Snap the job

Open the app on the floor. Photograph the task — welder on a tank, a trench, a switch-rack — straight from a supervisor’s phone. No forms to set up first.

02

Speak the description

Talk it out the way you would to a new hire. Pretakt turns the spoken job into a typed scope, so non-typing supervisors and ESL crews don’t skip the step.

03

Sign the JHA

Review the structured hazard analysis, controls, PPE, permit details, and pre-job briefing. A supervisor can sign the JHA in the app.

Modules

Buy only the workflows you actually run.

Pretakt is module-priced. A 40-person fabrication shop usually buys four modules — not a platform.

Defensibility

You are not paying for “AI.”

You are paying for a structured job safety record that keeps the work scope, hazard analysis, controls, and supervisor sign-off together for review.

OSHA-style audit · review & sign-off on the floor.

01

A library tuned to OSHA, not paraphrased from it.

Every hazard–control pair is written against the actual OSHA standard and the relevant state-plan language. A citation follows the recommendation; an auditor’s first question ("what 1910 section?") is already answered.

02

Photos, signatures, and approvals become one record.

The timestamped photo, the typed scope, the crew signatures, the supervisor approval, the post-job close-out — all chain to one job record. The spreadsheet that breaks the audit trail never gets written.

03

A computer-vision roadmap that flags what is in the photo.

Pretakt reads the photo for visible hazards — an unguarded trench edge, a missing hard hat, a blocked egress — and surfaces them in the briefing. Mainstream vendors ship this inconsistently; Pretakt is building it as a first-class capability.

OSHA 29 CFR 1904

The recordkeeping duties stay with the employer.

Pretakt can help keep job and incident documentation together. The rules below apply according to an employer’s coverage and the details of each case.

What OSHA requires

Coverage and partial exemptions vary by employer size and industry (29 CFR §§ 1904.1–1904.2). Covered employers record each qualifying work-related case on the OSHA 300 Log and complete Form 301 or an equivalent within seven calendar days of learning of it (29 CFR §§ 1904.7, 1904.29(b)(3)).

Certify and post the annual 300A summary from February 1 through April 30, and keep required records for five years after the covered calendar year ends (29 CFR §§ 1904.32–1904.33). Separately, report a work-related fatality within eight hours and a qualifying in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye within 24 hours (29 CFR § 1904.39).

How Pretakt supports documentation

Timestamped job photos and job scope stay with signed job hazard analyses. Stored incident investigations include an OSHA recordability indicator for review and recommended corrective actions.

These are supporting records. Pretakt does not create or file the official OSHA 300, 301, or 300A forms, or automatically satisfy their deadlines.

What employers remain responsible for

Employers determine which coverage rules apply and whether each case is recordable. They remain responsible for official recordkeeping, certifying and posting the annual summary, retaining records, and making required OSHA reports on time.

Pretakt does not determine coverage or replace any of these employer duties.

Questions

The questions we hear first.

1. Who is Pretakt actually for?
Shops between 20 and 100 employees that do real physical work — fabrication, welding, mechanical, electrical, building trades, food processing. You are not buying an enterprise EHS platform. You are buying defensibility the moment a job begins.
2. Will supervisors on the floor actually use it?
They have to take a photo anyway, for the binder that no one reads. Pretakt replaces the binder with the same photo and a one-paragraph spoken scope. There is no separate form to learn.
3. How does Pretakt compare to a $30k/year platform like SafetyCulture or VelocityEHS?
Those tools are built for 500+ employee organizations with dedicated EHS staff. Pretakt is module-priced so a 40-person shop buys only LOTO, hot-work, confined-space, or contractor-safety — typically $1k–$5k / mo per facility. Implementation is hours, not quarters.
4. Is it defensible in an OSHA audit?
Yes. Every recommendation cites the specific OSHA or state-plan section. Each job record chains a timestamped photo, the typed scope, the crew signatures, and the supervisor sign-off into one auditable document. The library is updated as standards change.
5. What about the data — is it on my servers?
Records are yours. You can export the full job history at any time. We do not sell or share shop-floor data.
