English, French and Spanish are coming to the app

The menus, the buttons, the notifications and all six forms are being translated, so crews can work in the language they use on site, on the phone and in the web portal. This website is already in all three.

  • Each person will pick their own language on iOS, Android or the web portal.
  • Fill in a form in one language and send the PDF in another.
  • Written answers will be translated as well when the PDF is produced.
  • The email that carries the form will follow the language the app is set to, whatever language the PDF is in.

See the form

This is what a supervisor completes before the crew goes over the edge. Scroll through it, or use the step buttons. This is the FLHA, the one filled in on site; the JHA is the version written ahead of the job.

  1. Start the form

    Open a JHA/FLHA and the job details come first: address, client, date, the supervisor running the job. The person completing it confirms they are trained and competent to do so.

  2. Tick the hazards

    Work through the hazards that are actually on site today. The list is the one your crews already recognize, and you can add your own and reuse them across the company.

  3. Controls suggested

    RopeDocs suggests controls for the hazards you ticked. The supervisor reads them, edits what doesn’t fit the site, and adds what’s missing. Nothing is filed until a person has looked at it.

  4. Signatures collected

    Add the workers on site, capture a signature from each one, then the supervisor authorizes the form. The crew doesn’t need their own logins.

  5. PDF produced

    The finished form becomes a PDF with your logo on it. Download it or email it to the client from the job, and pull it up later when someone asks for the record.

Works offline

No signal on the roof. Keep working.

Parkades, stairwells, the core of a tower, forty floors up behind coated glass. Plenty of jobs in this trade have no bars.

  • Forms, checklists and signatures save on the phone as you go.
  • Nobody waits for bars before the crew signs and work starts.
  • When the signal comes back, everything syncs to your company account.

Try it: flip the signal switch under the phone.
