The Essential Guide to OSHA Recordkeeping Software for Construction Safety Reporting in 2025: Why Digital Safety Solutions Are No Longer Optional for Construction Safety Reporting
In 2025, new OSHA regulations are reshaping construction safety, shifting the focus from reactive enforcement to proactive prevention and documentation. Contractors must now prove compliance through detailed, real-time recordkeeping covering physical hazards and worker well-being, including mental health. As penalties rise and inspections become more data-driven, digital tools like HCSS Safety have become essential, allowing teams to log, verify, and retrieve safety records instantly. By integrating compliance into daily operations, construction firms can reduce risk, improve productivity, and turn safety documentation into a strategic advantage rather than an administrative burden.
