PretaktAn AI safety engineer in every supervisor’s pocket.

Take a photo of the job. Speak a short description. Pretakt returns an OSHA-defensible hazard analysis, controls ranked by the OSHA hierarchy, the PPE list, the permit list, the pre-job briefing, and supervisor sign-off — in under a minute.

Where Pretakt sits

The gap below the enterprise tools and above the clipboard.

Intelex, Cority, and VelocityEHS are right for the 500-employee manufacturer with a dedicated EHS director. SafetyCulture is right for the multi-site franchise. They are wrong for the 40-person fabrication shop whose safety officer is also the shipping lead.

The vast majority of SMB manufacturers do not have a binder for JHAs because assembling one takes an afternoon and they cannot read yesterday’s handwriting. Pretakt replaces that afternoon with one photo and one sentence. Implementation is hours. The first defensive record ships the same morning.

How a job runs

Three actions. Less than a minute. Defensible on the spot.

01

Snap the job

Open the app on the floor. Photograph the task — welder on a tank, a trench, a switch-rack — straight from a supervisor’s phone. No forms to set up first.

02

Speak the description

Talk it out the way you would to a new hire. Pretakt turns the spoken job into a typed scope, so non-typing supervisors and ESL crews don’t skip the step.

03

Sign the JHA

A defensible hazard analysis, controls ranked by the OSHA hierarchy, PPE list, permit list (hot-work, confined-space, LOTO), and the pre-job briefing land in under a minute. Crew signs on the screen.

Modules

Buy only the workflows you actually run.

Pretakt is module-priced. A 40-person fabrication shop usually buys four modules — not a platform.

LOTO
Lockout / Tagout
from $1,500 / mo
Energy isolation procedures that match your actual equipment.
  • Per-machine energy source library
  • Group lockout with crew sign-on
  • Zero-energy verification log
Hot work
Hot-work permits
from $1,000 / mo
Slip a permit on sparks before the torch lights — not after.
  • Auto-flagged hot zones from the photo
  • Fire-watch assignment & sign-off
  • 60-min auto-expiry with reissue
Confined space
Confined-space entry
from $2,500 / mo
OSHA 1910.146 — entrant, attendant, rescue, all signed.
  • Atmospheric testing step gates
  • Rescue plan ready before entry
  • Live attendant timer & check-in
Contractor
Contractor safety
from $2,000 / mo
Onboard a contractor in five minutes, not five days.
  • Per-contractor verification log
  • Site-specific hazard briefing
  • Auto-archive both sides of the audit

Module pricing scales with facility active users and the workflows enabled. One shop, one bill — not per-user surprises. Request the current price list: pretakt@polsia.app.

Defensibility

You are not paying for “AI.”

You are paying to walk into an OSHA audit with traceable records, to standardize assessments across shifts, and to turn an afternoon of incident paperwork into a minute.

01

A library tuned to OSHA, not paraphrased from it.

Every hazard–control pair is written against the actual OSHA standard and the relevant state-plan language. A citation follows the recommendation; an auditor’s first question ("what 1910 section?") is already answered.

02

Photos, signatures, and approvals become one record.

The timestamped photo, the typed scope, the crew signatures, the supervisor approval, the post-job close-out — all chain to one job record. The spreadsheet that breaks the audit trail never gets written.

03

A computer-vision roadmap that flags what is in the photo.

Pretakt reads the photo for visible hazards — an unguarded trench edge, a missing hard hat, a blocked egress — and surfaces them in the briefing. Mainstream vendors ship this inconsistently; Pretakt is building it as a first-class capability.

Questions

The questions we hear first.

1. Who is Pretakt actually for?
Shops between 20 and 100 employees that do real physical work — fabrication, welding, mechanical, electrical, building trades, food processing. You are not buying an enterprise EHS platform. You are buying defensibility the moment a job begins.
2. Will supervisors on the floor actually use it?
They have to take a photo anyway, for the binder that no one reads. Pretakt replaces the binder with the same photo and a one-paragraph spoken scope. There is no separate form to learn.
3. How does Pretakt compare to a $30k/year platform like SafetyCulture or VelocityEHS?
Those tools are built for 500+ employee organizations with dedicated EHS staff. Pretakt is module-priced so a 40-person shop buys only LOTO, hot-work, confined-space, or contractor-safety — typically $1k–$5k / mo per facility. Implementation is hours, not quarters.
4. Is it defensible in an OSHA audit?
Yes. Every recommendation cites the specific OSHA or state-plan section. Each job record chains a timestamped photo, the typed scope, the crew signatures, and the supervisor sign-off into one auditable document. The library is updated as standards change.
5. What about the data — is it on my servers?
Records are yours. You can export the full job history at any time. We do not sell or share shop-floor data.
