Safety work rarely breaks at the report. It breaks in the follow-through.

Hazards, inspection findings and injury follow-up become harder to manage when risk assessments, corrective actions, evidence and ownership are spread across inboxes, spreadsheets and separate registers.

Skefto brings the record, responsibility and follow-up into one structured safety management process, so teams can see what needs action, who owns it and what still needs review.

One safety management system for the work around the risk.

Manage the core records and follow-up involved in workplace health and safety without separating incidents, hazards, inspections, injuries and actions into disconnected processes.

Hazards & risk assessments

Report hazards to a hazard and risk register and assess them with configurable assessment templates.

Controls & corrective actions

Record interim and permanent controls, then assign corrective actions with owners and due dates.

Audits & inspections

Schedule audits and inspections from configurable templates, and turn findings into owned corrective actions.

Incidents, injuries, claims & return to work

Report incidents and near misses, investigate, assign actions, and keep injury, claim and return-to-work records together.

Safety records, policies & training

Organise policies, procedures, training records and registers with appropriate roles and access.

WHS reporting & management visibility

Real-time safety dashboards and configurable reports show incident and hazard trends, outstanding actions and records that need review.

Shared across every safety record

  • Roles and access
  • Configurable forms and workflows
  • Record history
  • Linked actions and records

Configure additional safety registers for plant and equipment, chemicals and hazardous materials, PPE, emergency planning and other operational safety needs.

Manage hazards, risk assessments and controls in one workflow.

From reported hazard to controlled action.

Capture workplace hazards in a hazard and risk register, assess risk with configurable templates that follow your organisation’s approach, assign and monitor controls, and keep resulting actions connected to the original record.

Support ISO 45001-aligned safety risk assessment and control processes, with assessment templates for activities, plant and equipment, and psychosocial risks.

AI-assisted workflows can help identify hazards from photos, summarise incident and hazard records, suggest preventive or corrective actions, and assist with SWMS and JSA preparation.

  1. Record Hazard reports are added to the register against a location and the person reporting.
  2. Assess Risk is rated with a configurable assessment template using your matrix and criteria.
  3. Control Interim and permanent controls are assigned to an owner and monitored on the record.
  4. Act A corrective action is assigned to a responsible owner with a due date.
  5. Review Record history keeps an audit trail of changes, evidence and status for review.

Visible at the Review stage

Audits and inspections that lead to corrective action.

Turn findings into owned actions instead of another completed checklist.

Configure safety audit and inspection templates and checklists, schedule them with reminders, and complete them on mobile-enabled forms where the work takes place.

Findings become corrective actions with an assigned owner and due date. People are notified of the actions assigned to them, follow-up stays visible until review, and reports show compliance levels and the progress of actions.

  1. Finding A failed checklist item is recorded with evidence.
  2. Corrective action Assigned to an owner with a due date and reminders.
  3. Follow-up Tracked to review and shown in compliance reporting.
Skefto workplace safety inspection checklist

Incidents, injuries, claims and return to work in one connected process.

Report incidents, hazards and near misses, investigate them with templates from a basic review through to 5 Whys and ICAM, and assign corrective and preventive actions. Injury reports, workers compensation claims and return-to-work activity stay connected to the original incident for the people responsible for follow-up.

Explore Incident Management

Built for frontline reporting. Report incidents and hazards from mobile devices in the field, offline where connectivity is limited, including staff who do not have a licensed account.

Skefto incident reporting and investigation workflow

Confidential psychosocial event workflows.

Report and manage psychosocial hazards and incidents in templates and workflows that run separately from other safety records, with access restricted to authorised users.

Skefto psychosocial event management workflow

Safety records, policies and training.

Keep safety policies and procedures, training and certification records, safety registers and compliance documents in one structure, with role-based access, version and change history, and review dates that prompt the right people.

WHS reporting that keeps follow-up visible.

See incident and hazard trends, outstanding actions, inspection activity, injury follow-up and safety records that need review, so managers and leaders know where attention is required. Bring incident trends together with hazards, inspections and open actions so leaders can see both what has happened and where proactive attention is needed.

Real-time safety dashboards with interactive filters, configurable reports, and one-click standard reports for executive, board and audit and risk committee reporting.

Questions buyers ask about Safety Software

What is safety management software?

Safety management software gives organisations one system to manage workplace incidents, hazards, risk assessments, inspections, corrective actions, injuries and safety records. Instead of relying on spreadsheets, paper forms and disconnected registers, teams can assign responsibility, track follow-up and report on safety activity from a central platform.

What is the difference between WHS software and safety management software?

In Australia, the terms overlap heavily. WHS software usually refers to software supporting Work Health and Safety processes, while safety management software is the broader product category used for incidents, hazards, risk assessments, inspections, actions, training and reporting. Skefto supports these workflows in one configurable safety management environment.

What should organisations look for when choosing WHS software in Australia?

Look for more than incident logging. A useful WHS platform should support hazards and risk assessments, inspections, corrective actions, mobile reporting, clear ownership, dashboards, audit history and configurable workflows. For regulated organisations, Australian data residency, security controls and the ability to fit existing WHS processes are also important evaluation criteria.

Can workers report incidents and hazards from mobile devices or while offline?

Yes. Skefto supports incident and hazard reporting and inspection forms from mobile devices, including offline use where connectivity is limited. This helps frontline teams capture information closer to where the work happens, including users who may not require a standard licensed account.

How does safety software help prevent corrective actions from being forgotten?

The important part is not only recording an incident or inspection finding, but managing what happens next. Skefto can connect findings to corrective and preventive actions, assign responsibility and due dates, keep follow-up visible and support escalation and reporting until the action is reviewed or completed.

Can Skefto help manage psychosocial hazards and incidents?

Yes. Skefto supports dedicated workflows for psychosocial hazards and events, including restricted access for sensitive records. These workflows can sit alongside broader incident, hazard and risk-management processes while keeping confidential information available only to authorised users.

How does Skefto support ISO 45001 and Australian WHS requirements?

Skefto supports ISO 45001-aligned safety risk assessment and control processes through configurable risk matrices, workflows, inspections, actions and safety records. The platform can be configured around an organisation’s own WHS processes, responsibilities and reporting requirements. Skefto should not be described as ISO 45001 certified.
