From ResponseVault

Run the same JHA on your crews' phones and send it to Procore

This site is free because ResponseVault pays for it. ResponseVault turns paper jobsite forms into digital forms that update Procore. It is listed on the Procore App Marketplace, and the average time to deployment is four weeks.

Request a demo See how it works

01
Upload the paper form
Send a PDF or a photo of the JHA you use today. ResponseVault builds a first draft of the digital form.
02
Adjust fields and rules
Dropdowns pull projects and vendors from Procore, so nobody types a job number from memory.
03
Fill it out on site
Crews use a phone or tablet. Subcontractors can submit from a link without an account.
04
Send the data where it belongs
Each submission can update Procore and email a PDF. Webhooks send it to other systems.

About this site

Who runs Free Safety Report?

ResponseVault, a company that builds digital jobsite forms for construction teams. The tools here are free to use without signing up. If your team wants these forms on phones and in Procore, that is what ResponseVault sells.

Does my JHA get uploaded anywhere?

No. The JHA builder saves to your browser on this device. It only leaves your device if you email the PDF or copy a share link. The privacy section has the details.

Who writes the guides?

The ResponseVault team. Every regulatory claim links to its source on osha.gov or another primary source, and each guide lists those sources at the end.
