For Ontario construction contractors
A training certificate shows a worker passed a course. It doesn't show they'll get it right on site this morning. Dashpot checks that every worker understands today's hazards before work starts — five minutes by text, tied to the safety plan your crew already fills out. No app.

01 / What one incident costs
A serious injury on your site isn't one bill. It's weeks of lost time, relationships you spent years building, and costs you'll be paying long after the site reopens.
Days or weeks you don't get back.
A Ministry of Labour inspector can order work stopped until the hazard is dealt with. Then come the investigation, the interviews and the paperwork.
Years to build. One day to lose.
General contractors and owners screen their subcontractors on safety. After an incident, your prequalification scores drop and the bid invitations slow down or stop.
Long after the site reopens.
In Ontario, a corporation can be fined up to $2 million per charge, and a director or officer up to $1.5 million. A second conviction within two years involving a death or serious injury carries a minimum fine of $500,000.

02 / Why training alone doesn't stop it
In 2013, a 23-year-old fell 13 metres from a Waterloo high-rise and died. He had fall-protection training. On the day, he wasn't tied off. Two companies were fined a combined $210,000.
A training record shows a worker took the course. It can't show what they'll do at the edge of a roof this morning.

03 / How it works
The same morning job safety plan your crew already does. Dashpot reads the day's hazards from it. No new paperwork.
A short video on today's hazard, then a two-minute check where they explain the rules and controls in their own words. No app, no password.
Before work starts, you see who has it and who needs another look. A weak answer gets a follow-up and a re-check, and every check is saved with the date.
Step 02, up close
Dashpot asks the worker to explain the control in their own words, then follows up on the part that matters. The conversation is saved as the record.
It also builds the evidence for COR audits and WSIB rebates.
Cutting concrete block today. Walk me through how you'll control the silica dust.
wet cut. keep water on the blade so dust never goes airborne. respirator if we have to dry cut inside
Close. What do you do if the water feed dies halfway through a cut?
stop cutting. no water, no cut. tell the foreman, swap the feed before we start again
Straight answer // No tool can promise an incident will never happen. Dashpot shows you, every morning, who understands today's hazards and who needs another look — before anyone starts work.
