Simple Incident & Near-Miss Reporting for NZ Workplaces.
Capture what happened with photos and a timeline, investigate the root cause, raise corrective actions, and get prompted when an event may be notifiable to WorkSafe.
The problem
Reporting that people actually use
The hardest part of incident reporting isn't the paperwork — it's getting reports in the first place. If reporting means finding a form, logging in, or interrupting a manager, near-misses quietly go unreported, and the warning signs are lost.
SteadyOn makes reporting a 30-second job from any phone via QR code, then gives you the structure to investigate properly and close the loop with corrective actions — so the report leads somewhere.
What it does
From report to root cause to resolved
Report anything
Incidents, injuries and near-misses — capture what happened, who was involved and the immediate actions taken.
Evidence & timeline
Attach photos and documents and build the timeline a proper investigation needs, all on the record.
Investigate
Record findings and root cause so the same thing doesn't happen twice — not just what, but why.
Notifiable-event prompts
Get alerted when an event looks like it may be notifiable to WorkSafe, so the call to notify isn't missed.
Corrective actions
Turn findings into tracked actions with owners and due dates, so they're actually closed out.
Free QR reporting
Workers, volunteers and the public can report an incident from their phone — no account, no login, no charge.
Aligned to NZ incident obligations
SteadyOn is built around HSWA 2015 incident duties — recording events, investigating causes, and knowing when WorkSafe must be told. It helps you manage and evidence these obligations, and prompts you on notifiable events, but always confirm the specifics against WorkSafe's current guidance — it is not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions
What is a notifiable event in New Zealand?+
Under HSWA 2015, certain events — a death, a notifiable injury or illness, or a notifiable incident (a dangerous occurrence, whether or not anyone was hurt) — must be reported to WorkSafe New Zealand as soon as possible, and the site preserved. SteadyOn prompts you when an incident looks like it may qualify, but you should always confirm against WorkSafe's current criteria — it's a prompt, not legal advice.
Can workers report incidents without an account?+
Yes. Anyone can report an incident or near-miss by QR code or a shareable link, with no login and no charge. Only the admin users who investigate and manage incidents need a paid account.
Why record near-misses if no one was hurt?+
Near-misses are the cheapest lessons you'll ever get — the same chain of events that produced a near-miss can produce a serious injury next time. Capturing them lets you fix the cause before it costs someone.
Does an incident create corrective actions automatically?+
Investigation findings become tracked corrective actions with an owner and due date, linked back to the incident, so the loop from 'what happened' to 'what we changed' is closed and visible.
