A contribution to the EHS community
Free safety software for every EHS professional
UPEHS has shared safety knowledge freely for years: articles, quizzes, a forum, a job board. This year we built something more useful on site. POLLE Safety is a safety platform for the people who run toolbox talks and issue work permits every day, and it is free for every account. No card, no cap, no seat limit.

Why give it away?
Most safety software is priced for large enterprises. The site supervisors, contractors and safety officers who need it most, on construction sites, in plants and in workshops across India, are left with paper registers and WhatsApp photos. UPEHS was built by one EHS professional for the community. POLLE Safety continues that: the tools we wanted on site, given away so that nobody has to choose between a budget and a safe shift.
Module 1: Toolbox Talks FREE
- 50 curated talks, written by a safety professional, each in English and seven Indian languages: Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali and Kannada.
- Quick brief for a two-minute delivery, or the full talk with hazards, safe practices and discussion prompts.
- Workers scan a QR or type an 8-digit code and sign on their own phone. Attendance fills in live while you keep talking.
- Close the session and the PDF and XLSX attendance reports are generated for you.
Module 2: Permit to Work FREE
- Set the work, the location and the validity window, then name who fills the permit in and who approves it, in order.
- The filler gets a one-time link by email or WhatsApp. No account needed. They add hazards, controls, PPE and photos of the controls in place.
- The hazard checklist and Job Safety Analysis come pre-filled for each permit type.
- Each approver acts from their own emailed link. Every action is time-stamped for the audit trail, and the permit closes itself when its validity ends.
What “free” means here
Every module and every feature is free for every account during early access. No card, no cap, no seat count, and no end date has been set. Your workers never need an account. If paid plans are ever introduced, active users get at least 30 days’ written notice first, and no account is billed without choosing a plan. That promise is written into the terms of use.
What happened to EHS Jobs and the EHS Forum?
Both are retired. The job board stopped receiving new listings in January 2023 and the forum had gone quiet. Stale pages help nobody, so that effort now goes into POLLE Safety. The articles and quizzes stay exactly where they are.
