Industrial companies increasingly rely on contractors to support core operations — from construction and maintenance to logistics and specialized services. But as contractor presence on-site grows, so do the risks and responsibilities associated with managing their safety.
The question is no longer whether to digitize contractor safety — it’s how to do it effectively.
ZYGHT, part of the VST portfolio, offers a mobile-first approach to contractor safety management, empowering organizations to track risks, verify training, and monitor compliance across diverse contractor teams — all from the field.
The Challenge of Contractor Safety
Contractors bring operational flexibility but also introduce several safety management challenges:
- Varied safety cultures and training standards
- Inconsistent onboarding and induction practices
- Difficulties tracking compliance across multiple worksites
- Limited access to systems from remote or hazardous environments
- Reactive incident reporting and delayed risk insights
In many cases, safety systems weren’t designed for non-employee users — creating barriers to engagement, accountability, and coordination.
ZYGHT’s Mobile-First Approach to Contractor Management
ZYGHT is a cloud-based HSE software platform that enables companies to extend safety oversight to contractors through mobile-enabled tools and workflows. This ensures that safety protocols are accessible, auditable, and enforceable wherever work is happening.
Key Mobile-First Features for Contractor Safety:
- Mobile Risk Identification
Contractors can log hazards and observations on the spot, using forms configured to site-specific protocols. - Training Verification and Access
Mobile access to digital training records helps ensure only certified individuals are assigned to high-risk tasks or zones. - Digital Induction Checklists
Streamlined onboarding forms and requirements ensure that each contractor completes site inductions before starting work. - Incident & Non-Conformance Reporting
Field teams can capture incidents and unsafe conditions without delay, using intuitive mobile forms. - Role-Based Access for Contractors
Contractors receive secure access to the specific modules and data they need — nothing more, nothing less.
This mobile-first structure allows safety managers to engage directly with contractors, improving compliance, consistency, and accountability — without adding administrative burden.
Benefits for Safety Leaders and Site Managers
By using ZYGHT’s mobile capabilities, companies can:
- Increase contractor participation in safety programs
- Reduce lag time between hazard detection and resolution
- Ensure up-to-date verification of credentials and training
- Enable site-wide visibility into contractor performance
- Support easier compliance with local and corporate HSE standards
Contractors, in turn, gain a clearer understanding of expectations and a practical way to engage with safety processes — helping build a stronger culture of shared responsibility.
