VelocityEHS Launches QR Code Tool for Safety Incident Reporting

VelocityEHS has launched a new QR code-based reporting feature designed to make it easier for workers to report workplace incidents, near misses and hazards.

The new feature, called QR Codes for Incident Management, was announced at the 2026 ASSP Safety Conference & Expo. The tool allows employees to submit incident reports by scanning a QR code with a mobile device, eliminating the need to log into a reporting system.

According to VelocityEHS, the feature is intended to remove common obstacles that can prevent incidents from being documented quickly, including limited system access, complicated reporting processes, and time constraints.

“Organizations can’t fix what they can’t see,” said Julia Wong, Senior Director, Head of Product at VelocityEHS. “QR Codes for Incident Management removes the traditional barriers to reporting by meeting workers where they are. With instant access to mobile-friendly reporting, companies can capture critical safety data earlier and act before risks escalate.”

Reports Flow Directly Into Existing Processes

Reports submitted through the QR code system automatically enter existing Incident Management workflows within the VelocityEHS platform. The company said submissions trigger real-time notifications and corrective actions based on assigned roles and responsibilities.

“Speed and simplicity are essential when it comes to effective incident management,” said Marc Juaire, Senior Director, Head of Product, VelocityEHS and Certified Safety Leader. “By streamlining how incidents are reported and automatically routing that data into existing workflows, we’re helping organizations respond faster, standardize processes, and ultimately create safer workplaces.”

VelocityEHS said the feature is now available as part of its Incident Management offering.
