Take 5 Safety Checks

Five minutes or five lives. Your call

Most injuries happen in the first 10 minutes of the job.

Why? Because people assume. They assume it’s business as usual. That the gear is solid. That today won’t be that day.

And that’s exactly why Take 5 Safety Checks exist inside Field1st — to break the pattern.

What is a Field1st Take 5 Safety Check?​

The idea is simple​

Most incidents can be prevented by building a habit of mindful, proactive thinking — where workers take just five minutes to pause before starting a task.

A Field1st Take 5 is fast, field-ready hazard check that lets your crew pause, assess, and decide before anything goes wrong. Five simple questions. One powerful pause button.

This isn’t another clipboard or compliance paper checklist lost under the truck seat. This is a real-time, in-your-pocket safeguard designed to be used on-site, on-the-go, and under pressure.

Field1st turns the old clipboard checklist into a smart, mobile-first tool that your crews will actually use.

  • Five key safety questions

  • Job-specific hazard prompts

  • Offline-ready, no signal needed

It’s not a form. It’s a force field.

How Field1st Take 5 Keeps Crews Safe

Feature

What it Does

How it Looks in the Moment​​​

Why it Matters

Real-Time Hazard Prompts
Auto-triggers based on task, location, and risk. Crew sees the danger before it even shows up.
You’re standing next to the trench, with your crew. Before they even start digging, the app pings: “Check for collapse risk – soil type flagged.”
Flags risks before they happen.
Crew-Specific Checklists
Generates job-specific checks from task type, tools, and known hazards.
You're assigned to torch cutting overhead piping.

Your Take 5 doesn’t talk about ladders or power tools—it talks only about burns, sparks, and falling metal.
Keeps the checklist relevant and difficult to zone out or skip.
Offline Support

Full functionality even without cell signal.

You’re out in a remote area on a shutdown job. Zero bars. Doesn’t matter—you still walk through the Take 5 checklist like you’re online.
No gaps in safety. No excuses. No miss beats in documenting, even if there is no service.
Time-Stamped Logs
Captures every Take 5 and its decisions.
You step back before entering the confined space, complete your Take 5, and 9:42 AM gets stamped on the log. It’s there. It’s trackable. It’s real.
Real proof your team paused and assessed potential hazards.
Mobile-First Design
Built for thumb taps, not mouse clicks.
You’ve got gloves on. It’s starting to rain. You finish your Take 5 in under 30 seconds with one hand while holding your hard hat with the other.
Fast + usable = higher compliance. Designed with the field crew in mind and then the desk.
Speech-to-Text
Let workers complete Take 5s using voice instead of typing.
You’re in the pre-task pause, helmet on, checklist open. It’s your Take 5. Hands full.

Instead of pecking at your screen, you just say it—“check anchor points, wind’s picking up.” It logs instantly. No typing. No distractions. You’re locked in and ready to go.
Makes the Take 5 fast, clean, and easy to complete—even in chaos. Which means your crew actually does it.

Here’s the Key Point:

Other systems? Too slow. Too clunky. Too many steps.

Field1st Take 5s are optimized for the rhythm of real work. Pop it open. Tap. Tap. Tap or Speak. Review. You’re done. And now your team’s got their heads on straight, eyes up, and danger decoded – and documented.

Take 5 Safety Checks help prevent snap decisions, blind spots, and unnecessary injuries. 

Here’s what you get:

  • Fewer recordables — by intercepting risk at the most critical moment: the beginning
  • Stronger safety culture — from “rush and react” to “pause and protect”
  • Live risk intel — so Safety Managers spot trends before they become reports
  • Proof of control — with time-stamped digital trails for audits and accountability
