Take 5 by Voice
Before your crew starts a task, they tap once and talk through what they're about to do. Sitepack pulls out the hazards, the controls, and files the Take 5 against the right site — automatically, with a timestamp. No forms. No writing it up in the ute at knock-off.
How it works
Crew scans the site QR code on the fence, or opens the Sitepack link they've been sent. No app, no login, no account to remember.
Twenty seconds of talking is plenty — what they're doing, where, and what could go wrong. Same way they'd tell their foreman.
Take 5 is timestamped, attached to the site, and live on your dashboard in seconds. No writing it up later, no chasing paperwork at the end of the week.
What's different
The crew describes what they're doing in their own words. Sitepack does the paperwork translation — pulling out the hazards, matching the controls, filing the record. The crew stays on the tools.
The moment a crew member finishes a Take 5, it appears in the site's activity feed. You see who did it, when, and against which task. No end-of-day admin, no chasing.
Workers scan the site QR or open a link. They don't install anything. They don't have an account. Subbies change crews too often for either to make sense.
The hazards your crew is talking about today become the topics your toolbox talk covers tomorrow. Sitepack learns your site, not the other way around.
A sample Take 5
“I'm about to start bolt-tightening on the scaffold platform, level three. There's a live conductor 3 metres to my left. Wind's steady but gusting. Got my harness on, anchored to the guardrail.”
Sitepack files this in about ten seconds as:
Common questions
A Take 5 is a five-step pre-task hazard check a worker does before they start a specific job. Think, look, identify the hazards, put the controls in place, then get on with the work. It's the last piece of safety thinking before hands go on tools — separate from a SWMS, which is the plan for the whole high-risk job.
A SWMS is the pre-work plan for a High-Risk Construction Work task — it lives at the job level. A Take 5 is the point-of-task check every crew member does just before they start their bit of the work. You need both. Sitepack builds each with the same voice-first approach so neither becomes paperwork.
No. Take 5 works through the site QR code or a link — the crew opens Sitepack in their phone browser, taps once, and talks through what they're about to do. No app install, no login, no account they'll forget by next job.
The voice memo is captured on the phone even without a signal. Sitepack queues it and processes the Take 5 the moment the phone is back on data. No lost checks, no re-doing the work.
