# Enable Safety Checks

Learn how to enable and configure employee safety checks to monitor well-being, respond to risks quickly, and support workplace compliance.

Safety Checks can be enabled in Schedule Xpress to monitor employee presence and well-being throughout a shift, helping ensure employees are safe, alert, and on-site—especially in lone-worker or high-risk environments.

## How Safety Checks Work

Safety Checks use the same geofencing technology as check-in and check-out, ensuring employees can only complete a check when physically present at the worksite.

Employees must complete safety checks at defined intervals during their shift to confirm they are on-site.

## Safety Check Intervals

Set how frequently employees must complete a safety check during their shift.

For example, if set to **1 hour**, employees must complete a safety check every hour. If a check is missed, a notification may be triggered.

## Record Safety Check Time

You can choose how safety check times are recorded:

-   **Actual time** – Logs the exact time the safety check is completed
-   **Rounded time** – Rounds to the nearest 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes

## Safety Check Log Entries

Safety check activity can be viewed in **Time Processing** by adding the **Safety check log entries** column to a layout filter.

If multiple safety checks are completed during a shift, they will appear under the same entry and can be viewed by clicking the three dots to see full details.

## How Employees Perform a Safety Check

When Safety Checks are enabled, a **Slide to do Safety check** bar is visible throughout the employee’s shift.

The initial check-in counts as the first safety check.

Once completed, a confirmation message will appear indicating the safety check was performed.
