OUR SOLUTION

AnTok — TBM and Training Logs

EHS Friends itself develops and operates AnTok, an app that automatically documents and analyzes what is said on site.

AnTok

AI automation of TBM and safety and health training logs

As conversations add up, so does safety

Explore AnTok
  1. 01

    Record

    Record what is said on site, such as toolbox meetings (TBMs) and safety and health training, for up to 15 minutes.

  2. 02

    AI Organizes It into the Forms

    AI automatically writes up the safety and health content of what is said on site in safety and health forms, and analyzes it. Private personal conversations are left out of the record.

  3. 03

    Collect Signatures and Export

    Attendees sign via QR code, and reports are downloaded as Excel files.

  4. 04

    Encourage Better Safety Activities

    Weekly and monthly AI analysis reports give an at-a-glance view of safety activities on site and encourage the safety activities that need the most focus.

Key Features

  • TBM meeting minutes — pre-work safety meetings written up in the statutory format, just as they were spoken
  • Safety and health training log — regular, special, new-hire and job-change training recorded separately
  • QR sign-in — attendees sign on their own phones, with no paper sign-in sheet to pass around
  • Statutory training hours tracking — progress tallied automatically against the half-yearly requirement of 6 hours for office workers and 12 hours for non-office workers
  • Worker suggestion box — while signing, workers can anonymously report hazards or leave suggestions
  • Multiple sites in one view — each site's log status on a single screen, with consolidated reports sent automatically
