Built for Sites That Take Health & Safety Seriously
Our connected worker platform supports safety walks, near-miss reporting,
behavioral based safety observations, safety training in the flow of work, and more.
Capture more near misses before they become incidents
Give workers a frictionless near miss reporting path from their device, right where the hazard happened. Surface patterns across lines and shifts, close corrective actions faster, and turn what your floor is already noticing into the leading indicator your safety program needs.
Build safety culture one observation at a time
Give every worker a structured behavior based safety observation form on their mobile device to record safe and at-risk behaviors on the floor. Identify patterns by line, shift, and behavior type, and tie observations directly to training when a recurring risk points to a skills gap.
Turn safety walks into findings, follow-through, and data
Give safety teams a consistent digital form to capture hazards, assign corrective actions, and track them to completion on every walk. Form scoring automatically surfaces your highest-risk areas, and built-in dashboards make it easy to share findings across shifts, lines, and leadership.
Build an incident record your safety team can learn from
Capture every incident with pre-built incident reporting forms that guide teams from first notice through root cause. Issues are assigned directly from the form so corrective action starts immediately. Spot trends and skills gaps across incidents in built-in dashboards — and use what you find to reduce how often the same thing happens twice.
Every associate shouldn't be more than one click away from opening a form they need to report a safety situation.

More Ways to Keep Your Plant Safe and Compliant
Poka’s digital safety forms support H&S teams across every inspection, audit, and compliance workflow. Explore the full use case library below.
Forklift Inspections
Poka replaces standalone forklift inspection software with digital pre-op checklists built into the same platform your team uses for every other safety workflow. Step validation, operator sign-off, and defect escalation.
Crane and Lift Inspections
Structured inspection forms for cranes and lifting equipment — with photo capture, pass/fail validation, and automatic out-of-service flagging.
Pre-Op Safety Assessments
Ensure operators are properly prepared before starting work. Capture readiness checks, safety briefing confirmations, and equipment status in a single digital form.
Safety Audits
Configurable digital audit checklists with scoring, photo evidence, finding categorization, and corrective action assignment — all in one workflow.
Fire Equipment Inspections
Standardize fire extinguisher, sprinkler, and emergency equipment inspections with digital checklists, location tagging, and compliance tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Behavior based safety (BBS), also written as behaviour based safety is a way to improve workplace safety by observing what workers do and reinforcing safe habits. Instead of waiting for incidents to happen, BBS programs catch risk early. Trained observers note whether someone is working safely or at risk. Those observations reveal patterns in behavior, training gaps, and workplace conditions that need to change.
Poka replaces paper BBS forms with digital workflows any worker can submit from a mobile device in under a minute. Observations route automatically to your H&S supervisor and feed trend tracking by line, shift, and behavior type. When a pattern points to a skills gap, they connect to safety training. Poka is a connected worker platform, not dedicated BBS software.
A near miss is an event that almost caused harm. A BBS observation is a record of how someone is working, safely or at risk, during normal work. Near misses flag dangerous conditions. BBS observations flag behavioral patterns: a worker skipping PPE, an operator bypassing lockout. Poka tracks them separately because the follow-up for each is different.
Poka removes the friction that stops workers from reporting near misses. When reporting requires a paper form and means tracking down a supervisor, most workers skip it. In Poka, the form is on their mobile device, pre-loaded for their plant, and completable in under 60 seconds. One leading confectionery manufacturer saw a 183% increase in near miss reports.
Yes. Every action in Poka is timestamped and logged, creating a complete audit trail. Inspections, incident reports, corrective actions, and sign-offs are all captured. When an auditor asks for 90 days of forklift checks or safety walks, you can pull every record in seconds, with operator name, timestamp, and findings. Poka supports ISO 45001, OSHA, and internal compliance frameworks.
Any worker on the floor can submit a BBS observation in Poka. No special training required. The form covers the basics: safe or at-risk behavior, observation category (PPE, ergonomics, procedure compliance), what was observed, and location. Workers can add a photo. Completed observations go to your H&S supervisor and feed directly into trend tracking by line, shift, and category.
Yes. Poka is built for leading indicators, not just lagging ones. Near misses, BBS observations, safety walks, and pre-op checks are as easy to submit as an incident report. Over time, that data shows your H&S team where risk is concentrated, so you can act on conditions and behaviors before the next incident.
Poka doesn't file reports with regulatory bodies. But it gives you the documentation those reports require. Incident records cover OSHA 300/301 fields. Corrective actions are tracked to closure. Inspection records meet ISO 45001 standards. Your safety team can export everything in structured formats for regulatory submission or third-party audit.
Connected platforms increase safety by making it faster and easier for workers to report hazards, complete inspections, and log observations from a mobile device. When reporting takes under a minute, more gets captured. Centralized data helps safety teams spot patterns early and act before incidents occur. Poka builds an audit trail automatically, across every shift and site.
