Introducing the New Audits Matrix Analysis Report (01/10/2024)
To get the year off to a good running start, we have added 8 new matrices that will assist supervisors and managers to review all compressed data from different angles.
The redesign, improvements and new features that are now available within the “Audits Matrix” still offer the option to see a complete overview of what is happening with any audit template, including the statistics of average scores per section, question, and/or overall scores.
So, let’s take a look at the new features:
LOCSTATT- NEW YEARS RESOLUTION(01/03/2024)
Have you made your 2024 New Year’s resolution yet?
Working with all 10 Locstatt modules is the best way to highlight your Company’s leading indicators – simply open your Company Performance Overview (CPO) Report to review ‘what went right, and what went wrong’.
Also, don’t forget that it is now very easy for all Users, no matter their level, to monitor and review their daily, weekly, or monthly HSE activity using the “My locstatt Report” on web or mobile.

Employee Recognition Program and Corrective Actions (12/13/2023)
The Locstatt Employee Recognition Program is the quickest, easiest, & most efficient way to monitor, manage, & support all employees under your supervision.
Simply create your teams or groups of employees, review their HSE activity in the field across any timeline; send immediate feedback and/or Kudos, and keep up to date with who is doing what, and when they do it.
Remember, as a supervisor or manager you can allocate points to any chosen employee. This feedback can be used to create your own scoring system, which in turn can be used to motivate and/or reward employees throughout the month when they accomplish certain goals.
Would you like to know if your employees are sending and/or closing the corrective actions on time? Well, we’ve recently added a new section inside the “RECOGNITION SUMMARY” table, where you can do just that!
Root Cause Analysis & Corrective Actions (12/06/2023)
As you know, our Incidents Module offers the option to, not only link Incidents cases to Root causes, but it also has the additional feature to link each individual corrective action (inside the incident) to different Root causes. This additional set of features gives you access to detailed trending Analysis, highlighting how many corrective actions are linked to specific causes, and which cause is the most prominent.
Let’s take a look in how this simple process works:
LOCSTATT- ANNUAL OVERVIEWS (11/29/2023)
Now that we are moving into the last month of the year, would you like to know how to look back at your annual HSE Activity?
Locstatt Offers many options, via different dashboards, for managers and/or supervisors, to get to that all important annual compressed data. This annual overview shows compressed data for most modules, including, Audits, BBS Observations, Incident Reporting, Hazard Hunts, Lessons Learned and HSE Meetings participation.
Let’s take a look at how you can review the highlights for the past year:
MY LOCSTATT – MOBILE VERSION (11/24/2023)
Since 2016 The Workstation app has been the main key for assisting any User in the field to create and report their daily HSE activity. This totally integrated application offers an easy streamlined way to create not only Audits, & BBS observations; report Hazard Hunts, & Lessons Learned; but it also handles your incident reports, manages your safety meetings (with courses and documents), and allows you to upload any post training, plus much more.
As an individual User, you already have the option to review your weekly and monthly HSE activity via the Web system within the “My Locstatt Overview Report“. So, all the information you’ve reported so far can already be reviewed from any computer, via the locstatt.net system – simply open the “My Locstatt” component.
Now we’re excited to announce the transformation of our powerful Workstation App, giving you complete access to the same HSE participation data via your personal Mobile Device!
How to manage Users & Employees (11/15/2023)
Locstatt offers many different ways for Users, with Manager level access, to create, edit, or remove employees and other Users within the System.
However, it is important to understand the correct procedure, and the possible consequences when you request, create, delete, or deactivate employees or Users (including rehires) throughout your various projects and facilities.
This newsletter explains the pitfalls to avoid, and highlights the best way to manage your Users when adjusting your list.
EMPLOYEE PARTICIPATION MATRIX REDESIGNED (11/08/2023)
We understand the challenge supervisors and/or managers are faced with when trying to review the weekly or monthly activity of employees under their supervision. This includes reviewing their Audits, BBS Observations, Meeting participation, Hazard Hunts, Lessons Learned, JSA verifications and/or JSA Meetings.
Locstatt Offers 3 clear ways to help supervisors review employees’ activity:
1. The Employee Participation Matrix
2. My Locstatt component- Supervisor View
3. The Employee Recognition Program
Knowing that this action of review is a critical piece of the puzzle, we have recently redesigned the Employee Participation Matrix to enhance the way it works. You will now have a new and improved way to generate the Matrix with the information you need.
Let’s take a look at the new changes:
5 TIPS INSIDE THE TRAINING PROGRAM (11/01/2023)
One of Locstatt’s most powerful programs is the Training & Classroom module. This app offers multiple scenarios to train employees on site, in-house or otherwise, including the option for online supervised groups, or individually.
However, apart from basic training, did you know that this module also offers other unique features that go a long way to streamline and simplify your entire training program?
Let’s take a look at some actions that you may not be aware of:
1. How to Review and Upload Training Certificates for any training record.
Using the web system, you can simply open the Training Certificates component, search training records by employee or course and upload the certificate as a PDF or images (JPG and PNG).
NEW SEARCH FIELD: CASE ID (10/25/2023)
The Master and Remedial Action Plan components offer plenty of options to search and filter information across all the Locstatt Modules.
It is very easy to go back in time and see all the Audits, BBS Observations or Incidents cases that happened in any facility, location, department or client.
Now, we have added a new Field inside these components that will allow supervisors or managers, with the correct user access, to find any specific case using the new field called “CASE ID”.
Let’s see how it works and where you can find it:
Every time an Audit, BBS Observation or Incident is created, using the web or mobile app, it generates a new Case ID inside the item, plus it will also appear inside the email notifications.
Using the Case ID to assign corrective actions or close it out etc, will create a more streamlined workflow and make it easier to identify specific cases.
5 LOCSTATT TIPS INSIDE THE REPORTS (10/18/2023)
As you’re probably aware, leading indicators are proactive in nature, and Locstatt’s compressed data provides true leading indicators, which are extremely powerful. Often, an individual event can seem insignificant, but once you take a whole wealth of information and compress it, the picture suddenly changes.
Listed below are 5 tips that will assist you to gather leading indicators via the Locstatt system:
1. How do you Review the daily BBS’ Created and see if they are still open or closed?
nside the BBS Reports you will find a report called “BBS Timeline”. These charts are powerful tools enabling you to review condensed data in one central location showing every BBS created per day, and how many are still open or closed.
You can click any section of the bars to drill down to the BBS Observations in detail, and review how many days they have remained open.
LOCSTATT- The Path of Hazard Hunts (10/11/2023)
At Locstatt we understand the power of effective Hazard Hunts. We also understand the power of making better decisions based on detailed proactive analysis. This is why we designed a practical user-friendly application that is very easy for your frontline workers to use producing instant results.
It is vital to have a clear understanding of the complete cycle that Hazard Hunts encompass – from the initial hazard highlighted in the field, through the different findings & subsequent corrective actions, to the final close out & compressed data review – this is the foundation for your future decision making.
With that said – below are the steps taken within the Locstatt System to manage your Hazard Hunt from start to finish…
The Path of the JSA Verifications and Meetings (10/04/2023)
In Part 1, we explained the Path of the JSA process which detailed how to create a Library of Tasks within the Locstatt System, and subsequently feed them with detailed control measures, hazards, hazard effects, photos, and videos.
This JSA library of tasks, can be used as Training content to train employees on site, and even better, there are two other very useful options: JSA Verifications & JSA meetings.
These two options are specifically designed to help prevent injury while performing high-risk jobs; create awareness about possible hazards; and help mitigate those hazards.
We have detailed below how the JSA Verifications and Meetings work; what kind of reports you can generate; and how this process will benefit your Company – Part 2: The Path of JSA Verifications & Meetings:
Employee Recognition Program Webinar (09/27/2023)
Since the release of our New Recognition Program last month, we have been busy showing our clients all the main features via live webinars.
However, if you haven’t had a chance to schedule your webinar yet, this is a reminder of the main features – firstly, this program is complimentary with any package, and it allows supervisors and managers to perform the following tasks:

HSE/Safety Meetings Improvements (09/21/2023)
Locstatt offers the HSE Meetings component which allows companies or teams to create any Meeting linked to any Meeting Type. You can also register employees with their signatures, upload photos, and/or add comments, etc.
One of the best features within the Meetings component is the ability to create courses linked to any HSE meeting type, and assign different resources and/or documents to that course. This feature assists supervisors when they need to train employees on site at any given moment in the day.
Supervisors can create courses with Schedule documents that will automatically appear in the System at the correct time for access throughout the year. These courses can include videos, audios, and/or diagrams.
At Locstatt, we like to say that every Meeting is a training opportunity – so check out some of our new options to assist with your On-site Training Programs.
MY LOCSTATT OVERVIEW -INCIDENTS SECTION (09/13/2023)
Locstatt already offers a simple yet intuitive Form to record and handle most Incident cases. This Basic Form assists a User, via the Web or Mobile App, when they need to record an Incident. Once the Incident is loaded, the relevant supervisor and/or manager automatically receives an email notification allowing them to start the process of adding more information if needed, and assign corrective actions linked to the root cause, until the case is finally closed out.
How to document the Path of an incident case via the Basic Form is clear & simple, and now we’re excited announce how an employee can review their own Incident documentation via the “My Locstatt” report, allowing them to drill down into all the new reports available.
Let’s take a look at the new features:
Audits Completed and BBS RAP Improvements (09/06/2023)
We’ve been working hard to finalize a new way for supervisors & managers to export their monthly list of BBS Observations, and Audits completed.
This customization is essential, especially when downloading and exporting excel files with 1000+ items, and allows you to now customize the excel file with specific columns, etc.
You will find the following new features available via the “Audits Completed” and “BBS Observations RAP” components:
1. You can now export the full list of BBS Observations using the complete list, in any format, with or without colors etc. This means you can export the Raw version of excel without a logo, or cell borders, if required.

We’re excited to be releasing our new Recognition Program next Monday (Aug 28th) so this final article lays out all the different pieces of the puzzle, and how they fit together to create this amazing tool.
1. The Nominations
Many employees under your supervision are creating weekly Audits, Vehicle and Equipment inspections, BBS Observations, Hazard Hunts, Lessons Learned and NCR cases.
The “Audits completed” and “Remedial Action Plan” section allows you to review these items and select them for nomination.
At the end of each month, you can review which employees have created cases that were outstanding or that were extremely helpful in the prevention or mitigation of hazards.
Why You should work with the Recognition Program (08/16/2023)
Our New employee Recognition Program announced last week, will be released August 28th.
So why is the new Locstatt Recognition program a powerful tool for reviewing all HSE activity, and why is it indispensable for your Company?
1. The Customization
The list of Kudos & Skills linked to feedback can be fine-tuned & customized to fit your organization’s goals. Or simply select and edit the extensive default list already provided to get started.
NEW EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM (08/09/2023)
Recognizing people who meet or exceed safety expectations helps your workforce see that they are valued. It also helps them understand that their Company not only values them as an individual, but also values their contribution towards the safety & success of their whole team.
It’s a well-known fact that recognition helps employees build stronger morale and confidence, and encourages them to work safely while supporting their Company’s goals.
We’ve been working diligently to develop this significant piece of the puzzle, and we’re excited to be finally releasing it in late August. You’ll be amazed to see just how involved & engaged your employees become once you start with the recognition program. It will promote safer behavior, better engagement in the field, and reduce your risk in all areas.
CPO NEW HOME SCREEN (08/01/2023)
The Company Performance Overview (CPO) aggregates and compresses your data drawn from all modules, all facilities or regions, and any department within any date range.
Information revealed by your Compressed Data, is vital to safety management. This is why we are so focussed on the design of our integrated Systems. Locstatt’s compressed data provides true leading indicators which are extremely powerful, and we all know that “Compressed Safety Data provides you with the information you need in order to do something about it.”
So, as we are constantly striving to support & help our clients, we have been working on building a new upgrade of the report….
LOCSTATT: New Settings Menu (07/26/2023)
Every Company using the Locstatt System has the option to customize specific lists for their chosen Modules.
These lists are not only the backbone for how your Company operates, but also, they depict what data is collected and compressed for Management review. In fact, the customized lists are so important, that we have re-organised how and where your supervisors access these lists, giving them full control to, add, delete, and upgrade, all in one place right from the home screen.
You will find the new “Locstatt Settings” menu located on the home screen, top right….
INCIDENTS MATRIX ANALYSIS REPORT (07/19/2023)
The most important thing about documenting an Incident is to make sure that enough information is gathered, and subsequently actioned, so that the Incident can be avoided in the future.
The Locstatt Incidents Module offers a detailed & extensive fillable FORM with a multitude of customizable lists, such as Root Causes, Incident types, Type of works, Documents, Injury/Illness, Source of Injuries, Weather Conditions, Body parts, etc.
Using a FORM that encompasses a multitude of fields allows you to generate reports from many different angles, for example: in a certain timeline, from specific facilities or branches, and over an entire region if desired.
THE PATH OF THE JSA PROCESS (07/13/2023)
The Job Safety Analysis (JSA) plays an important role in risk mitigation, so it is vital to have access to a Comprehensive Database of Lessons Learned that Apply to You and Your Industry.
When a supervisor or employee is about to perform a task, it is important to know what went right, what went wrong. Plus, having access to a library of past performance and recommendations for each step, simplifies and speeds up the overall process.
Not only does the Locstatt JSA module help prevent personnel injury with high-risk jobs, but it also creates awareness about possible hazards, and helps mitigate those hazards.
THE PATH OF LESSONS LEARNED & NCRs (06/28/2023)
The Lessons Learned & NCR Module is a specialised tool used by Companies to log multiple in-house cases, or experiences, while on the job at homebase, or at a client’s facility. These records are then catalogued as, good, average, poor, or as an NCR.
Logging your lessons learned & NCRs allows you to create an extensive library of important compressed data that can be fed up the line to your decision makers in real-time. The overall effect of this simple data gathering on cost savings & safety, can be enormous.
Let’s take a look in how this module works, what the main features are, and the advantages your Company will receive by using it:
THE PATH OF AN HSE MEETING (06/21/2023)
As Part of the Training Module, Locstatt offers the HSE Meetings component that allows companies or teams to create any Meeting linked to any Meeting Type. You can also register employees with their signatures, upload photos, and/or add comments, etc.

- THE SIGNATURES: The Workstation App offers the option to save a User’s signature. This signature can be linked to any meeting or audit the employee is involved in.
You can save and update your signature using the side menu of the app.
THE PATH OF AN INCIDENT CASE (06/14/2023)
Locstatt offers a simple streamlined procedure to record an incident from the moment it happens to the final point of closure.
We acknowledge that some incidents are simple to record but others are extremely complex and require a lot of detailed information before they can be closed out.
Consequently, the design of our incident form allows companies to gather the incident details, grouped in sections, to show the data in an easy-to-understand comprehensive layout.
Below, you will find the correct procedure for recording an incident from beginning to end.
BBS OBSERVATIONS – NEW FEATURE (06/07/2023)
BBS is instrumental in establishing a work environment in which employees feel comfortable talking about safety and looking out for the safety of fellow employees.
At Locstatt the BBS Observation process is captured via a simple user-friendly application that can be used on multiple devices (Android, Apple and Windows).
From there, remedial action sheets and closeout reports are automatically created and sent to management and supervisors for immediate action.
LOCSTATT EQUIPMENT INSPECTIONS (05/31/2023)
The Locstatt system offers the audit module where companies can build any template to create audits or inspections. But did you know that you can create a complete list of equipment and link them to any template under the “equipment inspections” type?
Let’s look at how this works, and what the benefits are:
Any company can create a list of equipment, for example – elevators, fire extinguishers, chargers, harness, rental equipment, etc. Then for each list you can also attach the relevant equipment serial numbers (or equivalent information). This will help you define a comprehensive inventory of all your equipment on all facilities, or projects.
THE 6 TRAINING MATRICES – HOW THEY WORK (05/24/2023)
The Locstatt training matrices are the most powerful reports within the System, but do you know when and how each Training Matrix can help you?
We have a total of 6 matrices that cover different training scenarios, but how do you use each scenario to pull up the kind of report you need?
Let’s take a look at how each matrix can help you, and the configurations needed to make the most of each component.

What are the advantages of creating an entire JSA library within the Locstatt System?
More specifically, what are the advantages of creating a unique library that is relevant to your Company, and your industry?
As you know, the main aim of a JSA is to prevent personnel injury with high-risk jobs, create awareness about possible hazards, and help mitigate those hazards.
Accordingly, an “efficient” JSA will identify and control work related hazards, while at the same time promote teamwork, best practices, and minimize lost man-hours.
