Safety Reports will continue to be a separate product. ToolWatch EHS is designed for the construction industry, while Safety Reports remain a point solution serving a broader customer base.

2. Our company currently pays for separate ToolWatch and Safety Reports accounts. Can they be merged?

4. Does ToolWatch EHS offer live tracking of individuals on a job site?

ToolWatch EHS does not not track individuals in real time.

Combined with our time-stamping capabilities, geotag data show when and where certain safety processes are occurring.

Yes. Users can customize the inspection checklists and the frequency that you inspect a certain piece of equipment.
