VoiceZero gives construction firms and manufacturers a voice-first anonymous safety reporting channel. Workers report OSHA hazards, equipment failures, and unsafe conditions in any language, in 60 seconds, from any phone. No computer. No login. No name required.
Construction has the highest fatal injury rate of any major industry in America. The Bureau of Labor Statistics recorded 1,032 construction fatalities in 2024. Falls remain the leading cause. Struck-by incidents are second. Trench collapses, electrocution, and caught-in/between hazards follow.
Here's what the fatality data doesn't capture: the hazard was often known by someone on that job site before the incident happened.
Why didn't they report it? Because reporting a safety hazard on a construction site means telling your foreman — who may have created the condition or doesn't want the delay. It means calling OSHA — which workers often associate with adverse consequences for the entire site. It means putting your name to a complaint in an industry where word travels fast and the next job depends on your reputation.
The construction workforce is one of the most linguistically diverse in America. Approximately 30% of construction workers are non-native English speakers. OSHA publishes safety guidance in Spanish, but the complaint process requires navigating English-language bureaucracy that creates a significant barrier for many workers.
The result is a safety reporting gap that falls disproportionately on the workers most likely to be exposed to hazardous conditions. Workers who cannot easily communicate safety concerns in English are less likely to report them.
When OSHA investigates a workplace fatality or serious injury, one of the first questions is whether the employer had a mechanism to receive safety reports from workers — and evidence that reports were acted upon.
A documented anonymous reporting channel with a timestamped record of every report received and every action taken is one of the strongest demonstrations of good-faith safety management. It also changes your legal exposure in civil litigation following a serious injury or fatality. The standard in construction tort cases increasingly focuses on what the employer knew or should have known.
VoiceZero creates a full audit trail: every report received, every categorization, every routing action, every case resolution. Your safety director has documentation. Your general counsel has documentation. Your insurance carrier has documentation.
Works from any smartphone, via a QR code on a safety board, a hard hat sticker, or a site check-in station. If you have a phone, you can file a report.
Reports accepted in 40+ languages with automatic transcription and translation. Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, Vietnamese — workers report in the language they speak.
AI categorizes reports by OSHA hazard type: fall hazard, struck-by, trench/excavation, electrical, equipment failure, chemical exposure, heat illness, misconduct.
Immediate-danger reports surface in real time. Routine maintenance concerns are queued. Your safety team prioritizes the hazards that need today's response.
Every report is timestamped. Every routing action is logged. Every case resolution is documented. You have the paper trail your safety program requires for OSHA and litigation.
Configure VoiceZero by project, by site, or by subcontractor. Multi-site firms manage all reporting from a single dashboard with per-site safety trend analysis.
"We put QR codes on the safety boards at six sites in January. By March, our safety team had identified and corrected four significant hazards we would never have known about through normal channels."— VP of Safety, mid-size general contractor (name withheld)
"Our Spanish-speaking crews couldn't use our old system. VoiceZero changed that. We had three safety reports in Spanish in the first week — all of them about real issues on active sites."— Director of EHS, southeastern construction firm (name withheld)
