Looking for Safety Indicators? Here's Where to Find It Today

If your safety team used Safety Indicators to manage incidents, audits and corrective actions, you've probably seen a new name in its place: SafetyIQ. The short answer to what happened is simple. Safety Indicators is now SafetyIQ.

The EHS software you know is still at the heart of the platform. It now sits alongside journey management, lone worker safety and fatigue tools, all from one company.

This article covers what Safety Indicators was, how it became SafetyIQ, what that means for existing customers, and what the combined SafetyIQ platform offers today.

What Was Safety Indicators?

Safety Indicators was a US-based developer of cloud-based safety management software, headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. Its goal was simple: help companies reduce workplace injuries.

The software gave safety professionals one place to formalize, prioritize and streamline their safety processes. Instead of chasing paperwork, teams could focus on identifying risk, fixing hazards and preventing injuries. Some customers knew the product by its earlier name, PM Vitals.

A Focus on Leading Indicators

The name said a lot about the company's philosophy. Traditional safety programs lean on lagging indicators, such as injury rates and lost time, which only tell you what already went wrong.

Safety Indicators pushed teams toward leading indicators. These include safety observations, near misses, inspection findings and corrective action close-out rates. Tracking them helps teams spot risk early and act before someone gets hurt.

What Safety Indicators Was Known For

Safety Indicators built a strong reputation in a few key areas:

• Incident reporting and close-out, including OSHA recordkeeping
• Corrective action tracking, so hazards were assigned, followed up and closed
• Audits, inspections and observations captured from mobile devices
• Management reporting with dashboards and safety KPIs
• Employee engagement, making it easy for frontline workers to report what they see
• Responsive support, with a team that customized the software to each customer's needs

That mix made it a popular choice for small and mid-size organizations in manufacturing, construction and other high-risk industries.

How Safety Indicators Became SafetyIQ

Safety Indicators became SafetyIQ through a merger with JESI, an Australian journey management and lone worker safety company. The deal closed in June 2023.

Two Complementary Businesses

The two companies solved different sides of the same problem:

• Safety Indicators brought robust EHS management tools, including incidents, audits, inspections, observations and corrective actions.
• JESI brought journey management, lone worker monitoring and fatigue management for mobile and remote workers.

Together, they could cover a worker's full day, from the site inspection in the morning to the drive home at night.

Why the Name SafetyIQ?

The new name reflects intelligent, data-driven safety. It builds on Safety Indicators' belief in leading indicators and JESI's focus on real-time visibility.

The brand's tagline, "Predictability at Work," captures the idea behind both products. In high-risk work, nobody wants surprises. Good safety software makes risk visible and outcomes more predictable.

One Company, Teams Around the World

The merger joined teams across North America, Australia and Asia into one company. Customers of both businesses now have access to a larger team, a broader product and a shared roadmap.

What It Means for Safety Indicators Customers

For existing customers, the change is mostly a new name. The EHS tools you rely on continue as SafetyIQ's EHS management software.

The Same Core EHS Tools

Incident reporting, audits, inspections, observations and corrective actions remain the foundation of the platform. Your safety data, records and configured workflows stay in place, so your team can keep working the way it always has.

The Same People

The team that built and supported Safety Indicators is part of SafetyIQ. Customers have long praised that team for listening, adapting the software to their needs and helping with rollout. That support continues through the SafetyIQ help center and your usual contacts.

Continued Investment

The platform keeps getting better. A recent example is native HRIS integration with Workday and UKG Pro, which syncs employee records automatically. New hires show up in the system without manual data entry, so training and reporting stay accurate. You can see the full list on the integrations page.

What You Might Notice

The visible changes are mainly branding:

• The SafetyIQ name and logo on the website and in emails
• The "Predictability at Work" tagline
• Help articles and resources hosted on safetyiq.com
• New modules available to add, if you choose

Core EHS Features Built on Safety Indicators

SafetyIQ's EHS software brings the Safety Indicators toolset into a mobile-first platform with twelve connected modules.

Incident Management

Incident management captures injuries, incidents and near misses in one dashboard. It supports OSHA 300 and 301 reporting, root cause analysis and corrective action tracking. Leaders can monitor KPIs such as Total Recordable Incident Rate and days since the last lost time incident. For a refresher, see SafetyIQ's guide on how to write an incident report.

Audits and Inspections

Audits and inspections move off clipboards and onto phones and tablets. Mobile checklists capture photos and signatures, and findings flow straight into corrective actions.

Safety Observations and Hazard Reporting

Safety observations and hazard and risk management give every worker a fast way to report what they see. This is where leading indicators come from, and it's the heart of the Safety Indicators approach.

Corrective Actions and Accountability

Every finding gets an owner and a due date. SafetyIQ sends reminders and escalates overdue tasks automatically, so nothing depends on memory or email chains.

Training, Documents and Compliance

Training tracking, document management, safety data sheets and OSHA safety violations keep records current and audit-ready. Teams can also manage equipment, PPE and management of change.

Works Offline

Field teams can report and inspect without a signal. Data syncs automatically once they're back in range, which matters for remote, underground and outdoor sites.

What SafetyIQ Adds for Former Safety Indicators Customers

Becoming SafetyIQ gave Safety Indicators customers access to tools they didn't have before. They're optional, and you can add them when they fit your program.

Journey Management by JESI

If your people drive for work, journey management by JESI plans trips, scores travel risk, tracks journeys live and escalates missed check-ins automatically. JESI is a brand of SafetyIQ, so it connects directly with your incident and inspection data.

Lone and Mobile Worker Safety

Lone worker monitoring protects people who work alone or in remote places. Check-ins, SOS alerts and escalation pathways make sure someone always knows they're safe.

Fatigue and Alertness

Fatigue management and alertness tracking help spot tired or impaired workers before a shift or a drive. Quick, phone-based tests make readiness checks part of the daily routine.
