Incident reporting tool with anonymous option to report unsafe conditions or near misses.

Target Users: Electrical apprentices and journeymen in residential and commercial service, and their employers (licensed electrical contractors) looking to improve safety culture and compliance.

Revenue Model: Subscription per active user (apprentice or journeyman) at $9.99/mo or employer pays $199/mo for up to 20 workers, includes PPE inventory and training management.
