There is a specific moment that everyone who has ever worked on an offshore vessel, inside an industrial facility, or on a wind farm knows well. It is the moment when you hold a paper permit in one hand, a separate risk assessment somewhere on Sharepoint, and you realise that neither document is actually talking to the other, until something goes wrong. The control measures are listed in a different format on a different form. The worker signing the toolbox talk has no visibility of either document. And the safety manager onshore has no idea what is exactly happening.
That is why we built Reactor.
Not another checklist app
Reactor is a digital operational safety platform designed to combat fragmented, disconnected safety systems. We set out to build an integrated operational intelligence platform. One where a permit-to-work connects to the risk assessment that justifies it. Where hazards on that risk assessment are drawn from a structured, codified library — the PEMA framework — that gives every hazard a consistent identity across the entire system. Where an incident investigation can be traced back through the permits, barriers, and controls that were in place at the time. Where a corrective action from a near-miss report feeds back into the risk templates, not into a dead email thread. Where the analytics that are emitted through daily use help to reinforce a safe mindset.
The modules that make Reactor work
Reactor is built around a set of deeply connected core modules:
Permit-to-Work (PTW) — Structured digital permits with linked risk assessments, hazard libraries, dynamic approval workflows, concurrent operation awareness, isolation verification, and full audit trails
Risk Assessment Engine — Dynamic risk matrices, barrier modeling, control effectiveness tracking, PEMA-linked hazard records, and residual risk quantification
Hazard Observations — Mobile-first reporting of unsafe acts, unsafe conditions, near misses, and positive interventions, with photo evidence, severity tagging, and linked corrective actions
Incident Investigation (HexArc) — A structured multi-factor investigation methodology that maps barrier failures, human factors, organizational contributors, and systemic conditions into connected causal networks
Digital Checklists — Conditional-logic inspection forms with signoff requirements, time and geo traceability, repeatable templates, and mobile execution
Drills & Muster Management — Emergency drill scheduling, personnel tracking, muster verification, timeline logging, and post-drill analysis
PEMA Codification — A shared operational safety language that classifies hazards, energy sources, controls, and PPE requirements in a consistent, cross-module taxonomy
Lessons Learned System — Federated action tracking, cross-incident knowledge capture, CAPA integration, and organizational learning workflows
Operational Governance — Role-based workflows, approval chains, delegation structures, and compliance record management
The long game
We are not racing to launch features. We are building a platform architecture that allows safety data to behave like connected intelligence — not isolated records. A permit should know its risk context. A risk matrix should know the operational history of the hazards it contains. An incident should be traceable all the way back to the system conditions that allowed it to happen.
That takes time to build correctly. But it is the only version of this platform worth building.
