Permit-to-work, toolbox talks and SOS on one platform.
Block clock-on when tickets have expired. Auto-generate RIDDOR PDFs. Detect high-wind shutdown triggers before crane ops run.

- 96%Toolbox-talk completion
HSE inspectors don't care that your permit-to-work was on paper. We give Tier 1/2 contractors a digital permit register, training-cert gate that blocks unticketed workers from clocking on, and an SOS that knows the difference between a fall from height and a phone in a pocket.
The pain points your existing stack misses.
- Permits to work approved by WhatsApp; impossible to audit
- Workers clocking on without current confined-space / IPAF ticket
- Falls from height detected by ground crew not the device
- RIDDOR reports taking hours to compile after the fact
- High-wind crane shutdowns missed because no one watched the forecast
- Subcontractor crews on-site without verified induction or sign-in
Built specifically for construction.
Permit-to-work register
Confined space, hot work, electrical isolation, work-at-height — all gated to start.
Clock-on gate
If a worker's ticket has expired or PPE selfie fails, clock-on is blocked at the device.
Man-down + fall detection
Accelerometer + 8s stillness threshold tuned for hard-hat impacts.
Site induction (QR/NFC)
Visitors scan, induction video, signed terms — under 90 seconds.
Auto-RIDDOR generator
LLM drafts the F2508 narrative from the audit log; safety officer signs off.
Toolbox-talk library
Searchable library with auto-tracked completion per worker per topic — proof for the next CDM audit.
The platform underneath the Construction pack.
Sector packs add the workflow; this is the operational layer every customer gets regardless of vertical — billing, comms, AI dispatch and trust signals.
Multi-channel SOS cascade
Push + SMS + WhatsApp + voice fan-out in parallel. AI re-ranks responders by distance + role + rationale before dispatch.
AI Virtual Watcher
Three Claude-powered flows: SOS narrative + mandatory ack, PPE/cert gap detection, proactive welfare pings.
Comms allowance + bundles
Monthly SMS / WhatsApp / voice quotas included. Overage auto-bills; pre-buy bundles for cheaper rates. SOS always sends.
Admin broadcasts + inbox
One-to-many alerts to any worker subset, ack-tracked for regulator evidence. Per-worker channel prefs respected.
Trust + verify panel
At-a-glance integrations status and a dry-run test SOS so you can prove the dispatch before betting a real shift on it.
Audit ledger (HMAC-signed)
Every action stamped to ID + timestamp + UUID. Regulator-ready PDF export with one click.
Stripe billing + Customer Portal
Per-active-worker pricing. 14-day trial, no card up-front. Self-serve plan changes and bundle top-ups.
REST + Webhook API
Push incidents into ServiceNow / RIDDOR-to-HR / SIEM (Splunk, Datadog, Elastic). GraphQL on Enterprise.
Your workers lose signal. Their safety net doesn't.
Out on site, in the cab, deep in a valley — construction teams hit blackspots exactly where an incident is most likely. An SOS still counts with no signal: it's saved on the phone with its last location and fired automatically the moment coverage returns, timestamped for the audit ledger. And where the phone has Emergency SOS via satellite, Vygard points the worker straight into it. No £200 messenger to issue, charge or remember — it's the phone every worker already carries.
How off-grid coverage worksBlackspot-proof store-and-forward
SOS raised with no signal is saved with its timestamp and last GPS fix, then delivered the instant a bar returns — logged to the audit ledger, nothing lost.
Satellite, built into the phone
Newer iPhones and Androids include Emergency SOS via satellite. With no signal, Vygard surfaces it at the critical moment — no extra hardware, no second network.
Pair a communicator — optional
Truly remote crews can pair a Garmin inReach or similar. Optional — for most workers the phone is already the safety net.
