Safety Reports by Align Named Top Safety Solution Among Contractors According to ABC Survey
In an industry where safety is paramount, we are proud to announce our safety management solution, Safety Reports, emerged as the most commonly used safety solution among contractors, according to a survey conducted by Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC). Safety Reports is a suite of mobile safety and compliance applications with a long history of serving the construction industry, from facilitating compliance inspections and reporting to Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), on-site training, and other construction safety tasks and processes. The ABC survey results are a great affirmation that Safety Reports is helping keep the construction industry safe.
About the Survey
Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) is a national construction industry trade association with over 22,000 members based in the United States. On January 4, 2023, ABC conducted a survey among its extensive contractor members. This survey included findings on numerous topics, including workforce development, development practices, safety education, and contractor demographics.
When asked, “Which technology companies do you use, or have you used to research, purchase, or deploy safety technology?” one out of every five contractors reported utilizing Align’s Safety Reports products as their go-to safety management technology, more than twice as many as any other safety technology solution.

How Safety Reports Serves Construction
Safety Reports was originally developed to enable fast, easy, and high-quality construction inspections and compliance reporting by simplifying OSHA standards into easy-to-understand inspection checklists and automating the report writing process. From there, the product suite expanded to address virtually every construction safety procedure and use case. That broad support for construction safety procedures, combined with an unwavering commitment to usability, has made Safety Reports the industry standard.
