Frequently asked questions

A: SafeHalo is a standalone, plug-and-play digital accident log and health & safety dashboard. It comes pre-loaded on a USB flash drive for a specific year (e.g., 2025). There's no software to install, no subscriptions, and no internet connection required. Simply plug it into any computer, open the file, and start recording incidents to get immediate, live analytics.

A: The SafeHalo USB drive contains a single HTML file. When you open this file in any modern web browser (like Chrome, Edge, or Firefox), it launches a complete dashboard. You can enter accident details, and the system automatically updates three live analytics pie charts showing incident trends by type, location, and month. All data is stored locally on the USB drive itself.

A: No, an internet connection is not required for daily use. The entire application runs offline from the USB drive. The initial page load might require internet to load the charting libraries, but after that, it caches everything and works completely offline.

A: Your data is safe! The data for each year is saved directly on that year's USB drive. When you purchase the next year's version (e.g., SafeHalo 2026), you simply start using the new USB drive. Your previous year's data remains securely stored on the original drive for your records and historical reference.

A: We believe in simplicity, security, and one-time cost. The USB drive model ensures you own your data outright, with no recurring fees. It's perfect for environments with limited internet access or companies with a preference for tangible, one-time purchases. It also guarantees the software will work exactly as intended for its entire lifespan without unexpected updates or changes.

A: Yes. Your data never leaves your possession. It is stored locally on the USB drive and is not transmitted to any external servers. The security of the drive is as secure as you keep it physically, much like a paper logbook, but with the added benefit of password-protected computer security.

A: Absolutely! For each incident you record, there is a "Print" button that generates a clean, formal incident report form suitable for management sign-off and filing.

A: We highly recommend treating the SafeHalo drive like an important logbook. You should make your own regular backups of the USB drive's contents to another secure location (e.g., a company server or backup drive) to prevent data loss. The product is a one-time purchase for a specific year, and replacements may not include recovered data.

A: Yes, but not simultaneously. The USB drive can be passed between authorised users. However, because it is a single file on a physical drive, it cannot be accessed by more than one person at the same time. It is designed for a designated safety officer or supervisor to maintain the central log.

A: SafeHalo requires a computer with a USB port and a modern web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge installed. It runs on Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS.

A: The dashboard is fully editable. You can view, edit, or delete any past incident entry with a single click, and the analytics will update instantly.

A: SafeHalo is ideal for any business, site manager, health & safety officer, or organisation that is required by law to maintain an accident book (RIDDOR in the UK, OSHA in the US, etc.). It modernises the process without adding complexity or ongoing costs.
