Why Pre Job Brief management Is Harder than It Should Be
Time-consuming manual pre-job briefs
Workers using paper-based forms take a long time to complete pre-job briefs before starting a task.
Delays in getting sign-off before starting work
Paper-based pre-job briefs often need to be passed around for review, which can hold up the start of work.
Missing and illegible pre-job brief forms
Paper-based pre-job brief forms can easily get soiled or damaged.
Compliance gaps due to skipped briefs
Due to the time it takes to complete paper-based pre-job briefs, workers may skip the process, which compromises safety and compliance.
A Smarter Pre Job Brief App
AI-assisted pre-job brief creation
Storm can help turn user prompts into a complete pre-job brief, pre-filled with details specific to user input.
Quick sign-off before starting work
Workers and supervisors can review and sign off on the brief directly from their mobile device, so work isn’t held up waiting on paperwork.
Supervisor review before work begins
All completed pre-job briefs are routed to supervisors for review and sign-off before workers are cleared to start work.
Compliance gaps due to skipped briefs
The Pre Job Brief App uses a cloud storage system where all completed briefs are stored. Looking into previous briefs can be done with a few taps and clicks.
Understanding Pre Job Brief Software
What is a Pre Job Brief App?
A Pre Job Brief App is a tool that supervisors and workers use to create pre job briefs, short discussions held before work begins to review the task, hazards, and controls involved. These briefs are usually carried out at the start of a shift or task, and cover details on the scope of work, hazards identified, and roles of the personnel involved. With a Pre Job Brief App, teams can keep a digital record of these briefs, as well as worker attendance and acknowledgement.
What does a Pre Job Brief App help record?
- General information like project name, site location, and date
- Task description and scope of work for the shift
- Hazards identified and associated control measures
- Roles and responsibilities of personnel involved
- Required PPE, permits, and equipment
- Communication and emergency response procedures
- Worker attendance and acknowledgement
- Supporting photos and attachments
Why is a pre job brief important?
A pre job brief is important because it is a means by which supervisors can align workers on the task, hazards, and controls involved before work begins. These hazards can arise from factors like changing site conditions, the sequence of the task, or the equipment being used. This is especially relevant to industries like construction and industrial or manufacturing plants, where conditions can shift from one shift to the next, and workers need a clear, shared understanding before starting work. Additionally, pre job briefs serve as a basis for supervisors when confirming that workers were informed of the risks before the task started.

Using the app, supervisors can update the brief and notify the relevant team members straight away. This keeps the pre-job briefing current, rather than leaving outdated information in circulation on site.
