Hazard Assessments, Risk Assessments & Job Hazard Analysis

Every job is different, and the hazards can change depending on the equipment, location, work being performed, weather conditions and surrounding operations.

The A Step Above Industrial Safety platform turns the traditional Hazard Assessment, Risk Assessment or Job Hazard Analysis process into an interactive safety workflow built specifically around your operation.

Rather than simply giving workers a generic digital form to complete, the system can use information entered about the job to help identify the safety requirements that apply to that specific task.

Workers select the work area, equipment, type of work and applicable hazards. The system can then generate relevant safety information such as:

• Required hazards and controls
• Applicable lockout requirements and isolation points
• Required safety notifications and acknowledgements
• Relevant safe work procedures
• Permit requirements based on the work being performed
• Applicable SDS/SDS information
• Qualification or training requirements
• Equipment and location-specific safety information
• Additional requirements triggered by conditions such as weather, work near water, confined spaces or hot work

The system can also require workers to acknowledge critical safety information and confirm that controls are in place before the assessment can be completed.

More Than a Digital Form

A Step Above is designed to make the assessment itself intelligent and site-specific.

The objective is to connect the information a company already has—its equipment, procedures, hazards, lockouts, permits and safety requirements—and present the relevant information to the worker when they need it and where they need it.

Completed assessments can then be stored in a searchable database, giving authorized personnel the ability to retrieve records by date, employee, equipment, work area, type of work and other relevant criteria.

Whether your organization calls it a Hazard Assessment, Risk Assessment, FLHA, FLRA, JHA or JSA, the platform can be configured around your existing terminology and safety program rather than requiring your operation to change to fit the software.

More Than a Safety App — A Connected Safety Platform

A Step Above Industrial Safety brings critical safety functions together in one customizable platform. Instead of relying on separate programs, paper forms, spreadsheets and disconnected databases, the system can be configured around the way your facility actually operates.

Smart Lockout

Connect equipment directly to its required lockout information and isolation points, helping workers identify the correct requirements for the equipment and work being performed.

Permit Systems

Digitize workflows such as Confined Space and Hot Work permits. Information already identified during the safety assessment can carry forward into applicable permits, reducing duplicate data entry and helping keep information consistent.

Safety Notifications

Deliver important job-, equipment- or site-specific safety information directly to workers. Required notifications can be acknowledged before applicable safety workflows are completed.

Hazards & Controls

Present relevant hazards and controls for the work being performed and require workers to confirm that necessary controls are in place.

SDS / MSDS

Keep chemical safety information searchable and accessible while allowing relevant SDS information to be associated with equipment, materials and work activities.

Employee Qualifications

Connect employee qualifications with work requirements. Authorized personnel can identify qualified workers and determine whether required qualifications are current.

Fire Extinguisher Preventive Maintenance

Turn facility drawings into interactive fire-extinguisher inspection maps. Track extinguisher locations, monthly and annual inspections, replacements, equipment details and completion status.

Hazard Complaint System

Provide a structured process for reporting hazards, documenting corrective actions, obtaining required approvals and tracking complaints through to closure.

Digital Safety Database

Store completed assessments, permits, complaints, inspections and other safety records in a centralized searchable system. Records can be retrieved using criteria such as employee, equipment, date, work type and status.

PDF & Record Generation

Turn completed digital workflows into standardized records that can be stored, searched, reviewed and retained—reducing dependence on paper forms and separate spreadsheets.

Administrative Controls

Give authorized personnel the ability to maintain equipment, procedures, hazards, controls, notifications, lockout information and other site-specific safety content as operations change.

Role-Based Access

Provide different levels of access for workers, supervisors and administrators so users see the information and controls appropriate to their responsibilities.

System Integration

The platform can be designed to work alongside existing maintenance, work-order and operational systems, allowing safety information to become part of a larger digital workflow.

Interactive Site Safety Mapping

Turn a traditional industrial site map into a fully functional safety and navigation system.

The A Step Above Industrial Safety platform transforms a facility map into an interactive tool that gives workers clear, up-to-date information about the conditions around them. Instead of relying on a static drawing, bulletin board, or word-of-mouth updates, workers can see important site information directly on the map.

The system can be customized around the actual roads, buildings, equipment, work areas and operating requirements of each facility. Workers can select locations and receive safe routing while the system accounts for changing site conditions.

Key capabilities can include:

• Interactive site navigation with selectable roads, buildings, equipment and work areas
• Dynamic route planning to help direct workers through the facility
• Road closures and restricted areas displayed directly on the map
• Construction zones, hazards and cautions clearly identified
• Points of interest and destinations for faster site navigation
• Administrator-controlled updates so changing conditions can be communicated quickly
• Current site-condition notifications available alongside the map
• Integration with other safety functions including Hazard Assessments, Lockout, Permits and SDS information
• Custom configuration based on the facility’s own procedures, terminology and safety requirements

Built Around Your Site

Every industrial facility operates differently. The goal isn’t to force a site into a generic mapping system. We build the system around the site.

From terminals and manufacturing facilities to warehouses and other complex industrial operations, A Step Above can convert existing site information into an interactive safety environment designed around how people actually work.
