Safety Talks

Toolbox talks that respond to what is actually happening

Deliver, record and evidence safety talks, alerts and briefings — with topics targeted by live observation, incident and inspection trends.

Safety Talks in the field with Onos
The problem

What hurts today

Sign-and-forget

A signature sheet proves a talk happened, not that anything landed.

Generic content

The same laminated talk goes out regardless of what is happening on site this week.

Evidence gaps

Proving briefing coverage across crews and subcontractors takes days of collation.

The fix

How Safety Talks works on Onos

Digital delivery and capture

Run talks from mobile or desktop; record attendance by QR scan or digital sign-off.

Comprehension checks

Quick assessments evidence understanding and flag where the message missed.

Data-driven topics

Content suggested from live observations, incidents, actions and Q pattern reports.

Coverage tracking

Who has been briefed on what, across every site, crew and contractor.

Every seat covered

Who gets what

Site staff

  • Read toolbox talks and safety alerts on your own phone in your own time — video, images and documents included — then complete a quick comprehension quiz and sign off digitally.
  • No more being pulled off the tools mid-task for a briefing that interrupts productive work.
  • Q suggests this week’s topic from live observation, incident and inspection trends — not a generic annual calendar.

EHSQ admins

  • Read rates, completion rates, quiz scores and time-on-content are tracked automatically, so you finally know whether talks are landing.
  • Automated reminders chase workers who haven’t completed mandatory content — reviewing completion reports takes 15 minutes instead of 2 hours organising briefings.
  • Urgent alerts push straight to mobile devices with mandatory acknowledgement, escalating if a worker doesn’t respond in time.

Leadership

  • Enterprise-wide engagement analytics show which sites and teams are actually reading the content, not just receiving it.
  • Permanent digital records with timestamps and quiz results mean you can prove exactly what a worker received and understood if an incident happens.
  • Q reads live trends and suggests topics based on the actual risks appearing across your operation, connecting communication to what’s really happening on site.
In the box

What’s in the module

  • Share toolbox talks, alerts, news and notices with images, video, attachments, links and formatted text
  • Target the whole company, a division or a project; share with users, roles or teams
  • Deliver by dashboard card, email or welcome message on login
  • Read receipts and comments to track engagement; digital sign-off sheet for attendance
  • Categorised audit trail of content issued — evidence of training in investigations and disciplines
  • Export as image or PDF for notice boards and digital signs
Where Q comes in

Q tells you what this week’s talk should be about.

Q reads live trends and patterns, then suggests topics based on the actual risks appearing across your operation — not a generic annual calendar.
