Whistleblowing software for manufacturing and construction
Whistleblowing software for manufacturing and construction has to work for people who never sit at a desk. On a plant floor or a building site, most of the crew carries a phone and nothing else. The channel opens in that phone's browser, with no app and no login.
Who on your site counts as a worker
A site is rarely staffed by one employer, and the law extends beyond your own payroll. Anyone who learns of a problem through work with you is protected when they report it.
| People on your site | Protected when they report | How they reach the channel |
|---|---|---|
|
Your own employees, on every shift |
Yes, nights and weekends included |
A poster by the time clock, a link on the payslip portal |
|
Agency and temporary workers |
Yes, even though you do not employ them |
The same QR code at the gate, with no account to create |
|
A subcontractor crew |
Yes, staff at a subcontractor are named in the law |
A QR code on the site board, read in their own language |
|
Self-employed trades |
Yes, self-employed people are named too |
The public link, handed over with the induction pack |
|
Drivers and supplier staff visiting the site |
Yes, suppliers and the people who work for them |
A QR code at the goods gate or the weighbridge |
|
People who have left, and people not yet started |
Yes, former workers and job applicants are covered |
The same public link, open to anyone who has it |
Your channel is one public link. It works with no account and no work email address, so opening it to everyone on site costs you nothing.
Reporting from a site with no computer
Most people in a plant or on a site never open a work inbox, so email reaches almost none of them. The channel has to work at the gate instead.
Print it, laminate it, and put it where the shift notices go. A phone camera opens the form directly, without an install or a sign-in.
Someone in gloves at the end of a shift is not going to type three paragraphs. They can record a message straight in the form, and add a photo if they have one.
The form comes in 103 languages. A crew from four countries can each read the same page in their own language, and write back in it.
What gets reported from a plant or a site
These subjects come up more than any others in heavy industry. A crew sees most of them weeks before the office does.
Twelve report categories ship as standard. Rename them, cut them, or use your own list before the channel goes live.
Frequently asked questions
Does a factory or a construction firm have to run a reporting channel?
The duty sits in your national whistleblowing law, which carries the EU Whistleblower Directive (2019/1937) into force where you are. The line is 50 workers, counted across the whole company, not just your biggest site. Check it for the exact dates.
Do we have to cover the workers of a subcontractor?
In practice, yes. They are protected when they report something they saw while working for you. The channel is one public link that anyone can open, so the simplest route is a QR code in the induction pack.
How does someone report with no work email and no laptop?
They scan a QR code, or type the link into any phone browser. The form asks for no name, no email address and no password. After sending, they keep a one-time code and use it to read your reply.
What does it cost a manufacturer or a contractor?
PRO is €79 a month, net, with the year paid up front. That covers every site you run, with no limit on reports, and five panel users. The first 30 days are free.
