TaskTag vs CompanyCam for Client Selection Tracking Let’s be honest — you’re not lacking photos.
TaskTag Safety Tracker Workflow vs CompanyCam Safety Photos
You see it. A subcontractor is on a scissor lift, 30 feet up, with no harness. You pull out your phone, open CompanyCam, and snap a photo. It’s timestamped, geolocated, and saved to the project.
You’ve created evidence. But you haven’t created accountability.
What happens next is what separates a company that documents safety from a company that manages it. Who tells the sub to get down? Is a toolbox talk scheduled? Is the violation logged in a way you can track for repeat offenses? When OSHA asks for your records, is a photo in a feed enough?
CompanyCam is brilliant for capturing the moment. But safety isn't about moments; it's about a process. This is where your photo feed ends and a true safety workflow begins.

Why Construction Safety Programs Fail Without a Workflow
For years, the "paper trail" was a three-ring binder collecting dust in a site trailer. We tried to fix it with shared drives and endless email chains, but the result was the same: information was scattered, inaccessible, and ignored by the people who needed it most—the crews in the field.
A modern safety program needs a living, breathing system of record. It must be:
- Centralized: One place for all manuals, SDS sheets, and protocols.
- Actionable: A violation log can’t just be a list; it needs to trigger follow-up.
- Verifiable: Every toolbox talk, incident, and correction needs a timestamp and visual proof.
- Frictionless: If it’s not easy for the field to use, it won’t be used.
This isn’t about buying another expensive, standalone safety platform. It’s about integrating safety into the place where work already happens.

How TaskTag Builds a Bulletproof Safety Tracker Workflow
Instead of siloing safety, weave it directly into your project management. Here’s how you turn TaskTag into a lightweight, powerful safety engine that starts where CompanyCam stops.
1. Digital Safety Binder for Construction Projects
Create a project named Company Safety Binder. This isn't a folder on a server; it's a living resource.
- Upload Everything: Safety manuals, PPE policies, emergency protocols, and SDS sheets.
- Link It Everywhere: In the description of every active project (e.g., Elm Street Apartments), add a link to the binder.
Now, every crew member on every job is one tap away from the official safety guide. No excuses.

2. Document Toolbox Talks with TaskTag Safety Tracker
Stop passing around a sign-in sheet that gets lost. Run your toolbox talks directly in a dedicated chat channel like Weekly Safety Huddle.
- Post the Topic: Share a PDF or a screenshot of the day's talk.
- Snap a Photo: Take a picture of the crew during the meeting.
- Confirm Attendance: Have everyone reply with a thumbs-up emoji (👍).
You now have a timestamped, visual record of every safety meeting, who was there, and what was covered. It’s searchable and legally defensible.

3. From Safety Photos to Actionable Safety Reports
This is the most critical step. When you see that violation—the unsecured ladder, the missing hard hat, the near-miss—the photo is just the beginning.
In the project where it happened (Elm Street Apartments), create a task.
- Task Name: Safety Violation - Unsecured Ladder at Unit 4B
- Description: "Worker left an A-frame ladder unsecured near a stairwell opening. Reported by site lead."
- Attach Photos: Upload the picture you took.
- Assign It: Give it to the foreman or safety officer responsible for that area. Set a due date.
- Track Resolution: The assignee adds comments: "Ladder secured. Crew member retrained on-site." They upload a photo of the corrected issue and mark the task complete.
You’ve just turned a passive photo into an actionable, trackable, and resolved safety task. You have a record of the problem, the person responsible, the corrective action, and the date it was closed. That’s a paper trail.

TaskTag Safety Workflow: From Documentation to Resolution
Using CompanyCam for visual documentation is a smart move. It gives you eyes on the ground. But the job isn't done when the photo is taken.
True safety management is about the workflow that follows. It's about connecting the evidence to an action, the action to a person, and the resolution to the record. By integrating this safety tracker workflow into TaskTag, you build a culture of accountability—not with another app, but with the tools your team already relies on.
