Tap Into Safety

Tap Into Safety is a workplace learning platform for Australian organisations training staff in safety, compliance and related topics. It is best for employers who want a multilingual course library alongside tools to build and track their own training. Its strongest case is the combination of ready-made content and authoring; it is not a substitute for software that manages incidents or inspections.

Overview

Founded in 2014, Tap Into Safety covers workplace safety, induction, leadership, governance, compliance and employee mental health literacy. The business began trading as Training Improvement Solutions in July 2024. A subscription brings together more than 200 pre-built courses and assessments in multiple languages, with tools for organisations to add their own learning.

The product is focused on training: it supports safety courses and hazard assessments, but has no incident management, safety inspections or corrective actions. Organisations needing those operational workflows should consider a broader safety-management platform.

Key features

Course library and builder

Safety courses use 360-degree panoramas of realistic workplaces, asking learners to identify hazards and choose controls. That scenario-based approach gives safety lessons a practical focus. The Course Builder supports creating courses, editing TIS content, making assessments and attaching documents for acknowledgement, so organisations can adapt training to their own procedures rather than rely solely on the library.

Reporting and integrations

Employee-level and company-wide reports cover course results and knowledge gaps, with certificates and webhook transfer of results. TIS supports SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 4th Edition, as well as an API, webhooks, single sign-on and a URL that can be linked from an LMS or portal. The important caveat is that SCORM packages do not issue TIS completion certificates: the customer’s LMS is responsible for tracking completion. Organisations whose certificate workflow depends on TIS should account for that distinction before choosing an integration.

Security and support

TIS says it encrypts sensitive information in transit and at rest, and gives its SaaS availability service level as 99.5% uptime. Optional two-factor authentication can be enforced by an organisation. The vendor advertises unlimited support and lists phone support at 1300 901 849.

Pricing

A seven-day Free Demo costs nothing and provides access to a selection of courses. It is a short way to sample the content, not an ongoing free tier. The Entry Level plan costs $3,000 a year, billed as an annual fee, for an annual unlimited-use subscription with 20 users.

The annual unlimited-use employee bands are priced as follows: 1–20 Employees costs $3,000 a year; 21–50 Employees costs $6,000 a year; 51–100 Employees costs $10,000 a year; 101–200 Employees costs $17,000 a year; 201–300 Employees costs $20,000 a year; 301–500 Employees costs $25,000 a year; 501–1,000 Employees costs $36,000 a year; and 1,001–2,000 Employees costs $45,000 a year. These fees are billed as an Annual Fee (AUD excl. GST), despite the displayed USD amounts. The bands make the annual commitment clear by workforce size, but the smallest listed tier still costs $3,000 a year.

Seat planning matters: disabled users continue to occupy a seat until the current annual cycle expires, and users who started a course during that cycle cannot be deleted. That makes mid-cycle staff changes a real constraint for organisations with turnover; the annual unlimited-use label does not remove these account rules.

Platforms

Tap Into Safety is available on the web, Android and iOS, with responsive web mobile access. Training works online on computers and tablets, and most courses can be accessed on phones. Supported browsers are Edge, Chrome, Firefox and Safari. TIS cannot guarantee Android support, though it says most modern Android phones should work with Chrome, so organisations with Android-heavy workforces should check course access on their devices before rollout.

Who it's for

This is a sensible fit for Australian workplaces that want a broad, multilingual training catalogue and the ability to tailor courses, assessments and acknowledgements. Reporting and integration options also suit organisations connecting learning to an LMS or portal, provided they are comfortable having the LMS handle SCORM completion certificates. It is a poor fit for teams seeking incident, inspection or corrective-action management in the same product.

Pros and cons

• Pros: More than 200 courses and assessments in multiple languages give organisations a substantial starting library.
• Pros: The Course Builder, assessments and acknowledgement documents let teams adapt training to their own needs.
• Pros: Reporting on results and knowledge gaps, alongside APIs, webhooks and SSO, supports oversight and integration.
• Cons: SCORM packages rely on the customer’s LMS for completion tracking and do not produce TIS certificates.
• Cons: Disabled users hold seats until the annual cycle ends, and users who have started a course cannot be deleted during that cycle.
• Cons: It lacks incident management, inspections and corrective actions, limiting its use as a wider safety-management system.
• Cons: Android support is not guaranteed, which complicates a mobile-first rollout on Android devices.

Alternatives

Safety Management Software is the broader category to explore if training alone does not cover your operational needs.

Choose Safesite if a free plan and broad mobile platform support matter: its Free plan allows unlimited members and guests but restricts reporting to the last 30 days, while Premium costs $16 a month per member.

HammerTech offers free subcontractor access through the general contractor managing a project.

BeaconHS is a free alternative available as self-hosted software as well as on several desktop and web platforms.

EcoOnline uses custom pricing based on features, users and customization.

Evotix bases pricing on sites, workforce size, risk profile, modules, support, integrations and implementation scope.

HCSS uses custom quotes and requires company type and role.

Injury Management System has a STANDARD plan at $150 a month with unlimited users; its free-plan status may also suit teams comparing freemium options.

IsoMetrix is a paid alternative with pricing available by demo request.

Verdict

Choose Tap Into Safety if your organisation wants a sizeable multilingual training library, custom course tools and reporting in one annual subscription. Its clearest advantage is the pairing of ready-made safety content with authoring and tracking. Look elsewhere if you need incident and inspection workflows, cannot accommodate annual seat rules, or require TIS itself to issue certificates for SCORM completions.
