Safety information where work happens. Reporting when it matters.

A hazard noticed on the shop floor should not have to wait until someone returns to a desk. RPG Excellence connects a work-area QR code with mobile access to local safety information and accident, incident and near-miss reporting.

01

Scan your zone

Use the work-area QR code to reach the relevant zone page in your phone browser. You do not need to return to a laptop to submit a report.

02

Check the controls

Where published and permitted, view local risk assessments, hazards, PPE and key controls, inspections and actions. Available information follows your organisation’s publication and access settings.

03

Report what matters

Report an accident, incident, near miss, hazard or concern in the context of that work area. Describe what happened and any immediate action; a photo and contact details are optional.

Make the reporting route part of everyday work

A person sees a damaged guard, experiences an injury or notices a near miss. The important first step is to make the situation safe and follow the site’s procedures. Once safe, a clear reporting route helps them capture the event while the details are still fresh.

The zone form links the report to the work area. It supports an account of the event, apparent urgency, immediate action and whether a responsible person has been informed. Optional photo evidence can help authorised reviewers understand the location and condition.

Local information without the trip back to a laptop

The employee work-area page brings available safety information closer to the point of work: published assessments, hazards and controls, PPE requirements and relevant inspection information. Staff can consult it through their phone browser, subject to the access and publication settings saved by their organisation.

Public reporting and access to internal safety records have separate controls. No sign-in is needed to submit a zone report; that does not make every internal assessment or company record publicly available.

Commercial value: less friction, better context

Consider a hypothetical warehouse where a worker notices repeated damage at the same pedestrian barrier. A zone-linked report can identify the location, describe the concern and add a photo without waiting for office access. An authorised manager can review the evidence and decide what action is needed.

  • Reduce reporting effort: put the route beside the work area, on the device people already carry.
  • Improve the first account: capture local context and optional evidence while it is available.
  • Support participation: allow reports without sign-in, with contact details optional.
  • Strengthen management review: connect reported concerns with the work area and follow-up decisions.

Measure the effect using your own baseline: time from event to report, completeness of location information, time to first review and repeated concerns. More reports can indicate better participation; report counts alone do not establish whether risk has increased or decreased.

A poster that leads to the right work area

Display each operational poster where people can safely read and scan it. Use that zone’s generated QR code and verify that it opens the intended page. Check the published information from an employee’s point of view and keep the poster aligned with changes to the zone.

The promotional artwork on this page illustrates the experience. Its work-area sign is not a working QR code and must not replace a generated operational zone poster.

Choice and clear limits

People may report without providing contact details, or choose to leave them for follow-up. Written information and photos may still identify people or places; anonymous submission is not a guarantee of untraceability.

For immediate danger, follow site emergency procedures and contact the responsible team directly. The reporting form is not continuously monitored and does not summon emergency assistance.

Bring safety information and reporting closer to your people.
