Paper JSAs fail the same four ways. Every day.
One person signs for everyone
The foreman writes the whole crew's names. Nobody can prove each worker reviewed the hazards.
Forms get lost in trucks
Clipboards, rain, coffee and dust. Paper rarely makes it back to the office complete or legible.
Filled out late
After lunch, or after the incident. Without a timestamp, nobody can prove when the crew was briefed.
The company man is blind
Managers and safety see nothing until days later, if ever. Problems surface after someone gets hurt.

So we put the paper form on every phone, and made it impossible to fake.
We built SafeStep with oilfield field-ops leaders and truck drivers in West Texas. They told us the same things: the JSA gets filled after lunch, one person signs for the crew, and the sheet ends up under a seat.
SafeStep keeps the form your crews already know. It adds what paper can't: a signature from every worker, a timestamp, a location, and a record nobody can edit after it's sent.
