Salus Mobile Key Features Overview — Preview
Salus Mobile puts your daily site tasks in one place. Use it to check in and out, fill out forms, upload certificates, track assets, and access site-specific information right from your phone. This article covers each feature so you know where to find it and what you can do based on your access level.
Digital Forms and Documents
Forms
Salus Mobile gives every worker digital forms you can fill out anytime and reuse as often as needed. The app saves forms you have in progress and keeps a record of everything you've submitted, so you can look back at any time.
If you're a Foreman, you can fill out a form on behalf of a group and share it with other workers to sign and submit under their own name. This saves them from filling it out themselves.
Examples of typical forms include:
- Daily hazard assessment
- Site hazard report
- Vehicle inspection
- Incident report
For more information, see Forms Overview.
Documents
Documents are uploaded to the platform as PDFs, images, or videos. Anyone with read and write access can organize them as needed. Once a document is signed, it's filed under your profile (and linked to a site if relevant), while the original file stays untouched so other workers can access it later.
Examples of typical documents include:
- Safe work procedures
- Policies and procedures
For more information, see Documents Overview.
Sites
Tap Sites from the main action bar to view site-specific information and interact with the site structure your Company Admin has set up. What you see depends on your access level.
Site Access and Full Access
If you have Site Access or Full Access, opening a site shows a summary at the top: the number of active workers currently on site, local weather, and a preview of recent corrective actions. Below that, you'll see:
- Check In, where you can check yourself or other workers in and out
- Orientation, to view site orientations
- Workers, to see who's assigned to the site
- Forms, to view forms submitted to the site
- Subcontractors, to view subcontractors working on the site
- Subcontractor Forms, to view forms submitted by subcontractors
- Corrective Actions, to view the full list for the site
- Documents, to view site documents
Own Access
If you have Own Access, opening a site shows general site information, such as location and weather, along with only the items connected to you:
- Forms you've submitted to the site
- Corrective Actions assigned to you
- Documents related to you
Own Access users don't see Check In, Orientation, Workers, Subcontractors, or Subcontractor Forms as separate rows. To check in, tap the + button at the bottom of the screen and select Check In. The same button also lets you start a form directly from the Sites view.
QR Codes
Scanning a QR code in the field gives you quick access to Check In, Assets, Forms, Documents, and web links. Orientation-specific codes can also prompt a certificate upload or ask you to enter an Orientation ID.
Note: QR codes require an internet connection to scan. They don't work offline.
QR Code History
Open My Toolkit to see a list of QR codes you've scanned before. From here, you can access them again without needing to rescan.
Real-Time Actions and Notifications
Your inbox highlights actions and notifications tagged to your worker profile. Anything you need to act on today shows up here, so you always know what needs your attention.
Check In
Check in and out of the sites you're working on directly from Salus Mobile. If you have Site Access or Full Access, tap Check In from the Sites view. If you have Own Access, tap the + button and select Check In.
Checking in updates the Salus Platform in real time, giving other workers visibility into your availability and whereabouts.
Certificate Management
Upload your safety certificates using Salus Mobile. Tap Certificates, take a photo of your certificate, and enter its details. Certificates are stored on the platform, visible to your Company Admin, and included in reporting.
You can see every certificate you've uploaded in one place, along with its expiry date. Replace an expired certificate at any time by uploading a new one in its place.
Asset Management
Use asset management to digitize forms related to assets and fleet vehicles, so they fit directly into your company's existing workflows. Maintenance requirements and upcoming reminders help you stay on top of what needs attention.
Typical documents and forms include:
- Pre and post-trip inspections
- Damage and maintenance reports
What Happens Next
Every action you take in Salus Mobile, checking in, submitting a form, uploading a certificate, or scanning a QR code, updates the Salus Platform right away. Your Foreman and Company Admin see this activity in real time, so there's no extra step needed to keep your site records current.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can see the Sites section?
All Salus Mobile users can access Sites, but what you see depends on your access level. Site Access and Full Access users see the full list of site tools. Own Access users see only the items connected to them.
Why don't I see Workers or Subcontractors under Sites?

How do Own Access users check in?
Tap the + button at the bottom of the Sites view and select Check In. The same button lets you start a form.
Do QR codes work without an internet connection?
No. You need an internet connection to scan a QR code.
Where can I find QR codes I've already scanned?
Open My Toolkit to see your QR code history and access those codes again without rescanning.

The Subcontractors and Subcontractor Forms rows won't appear in the Sites view for anyone at your company.
