HazNode® Safety · Forestry & logging
Forestry and logging carry a fatality rate close to twenty times the all-industry average in New Zealand, most of it from felling. Crews work well outside coverage, which is why anything requiring a live connection has already failed before it starts.
What it does
A forestry safety system that assumes signal is not a safety system. Capture has to work where the crew actually is.
Syncs when the crew comes back into range
Observations and near misses are captured with no connection at all and sync automatically once the phone finds coverage. Nothing is lost because the block had no signal, which is the failure mode every other system has in this sector.
What you get
Full offline capture, automatic sync
Photo and location recorded on the report
Under a minute from open to submitted
One record across every crew and block
Because in this sector they get scrutinised
Report, triage, and get prompted on whether the event is notifiable before the window closes. The investigation runs in the system with its evidence attached, rather than in a document that gets rewritten from memory a fortnight later.
What you get
Notifiability prompted, with the reasoning kept
Structured investigation and cause analysis
Evidence and photos on the incident record
Corrective actions tracked to completion
Drafted rather than rebuilt
Describe the machine or the setting to be checked and the checklist is drafted for you. Records sit against the asset, so a particular machine’s history is in one place instead of across a season of paper.
What you get
AI-drafted checklists per machine or setting
Records held against the asset
Photos attached to the finding
Retrievable long after the block is finished
Sound Familiar?
Crews are out of coverage for most of the day, so nothing gets logged live.
Hazards are radioed in and written up later, if at all.
The principal wants evidence of your system and it takes days to assemble.
Machine checks are on paper that lives in the cab until it is unreadable.
After an incident, reconstructing the sequence relies on memory.
Every crew keeps its own records in its own way.
What changes
Forestry is scrutinised more closely than almost any other sector in New Zealand. The record has to exist before it is requested.
Capture works offline, so what the crew sees on the block reaches the record rather than the end of the day.
Inspections and incidents retrievable by crew, machine and date instead of rebuilt from paper.
Evidence attached to the incident as it is gathered, not assembled from memory afterwards.
Priced by worker count for the whole business, so each crew is not keeping its own version.
The only question that matters here is whether capture works with no signal. We will show you exactly that, then let you try it on a block.
