    1Life

    1Life supports safety administration through mobile forms and employee training records. It is a candidate for teams moving recurring field paperwork into assigned workflows. The commercial comparison should distinguish subscription features, resource libraries and additional assistance.

    Evidence: Researched profile

    Built from vendor sources checked ; AI-assisted drafting. Documentation review, not a hands-on test. How pages are made

    Who is 1Life for?

    Small and growing employers coordinating field forms and workforce training. Public plan pages show different per-employee amounts, and the terms default to annual advance invoicing; require the accepted order to control. Published document changes reach mobile users after synchronization, recertification alerts require an expiry date, and safety records or audit reports do not by themselves authorize work or guarantee COR, OSHA or ISO acceptance.

    Compare the full implementation and ongoing administration cost against your current process before committing.

    Watch for: Paid price currency and billing context need confirmation. Public plan amounts differ between the homepage and the Canadian pricing page. Offline dictation and synchronization details need a demonstration.

    Capabilities and scope

    This listing covers 1Life safety-management software. The site also links separate Contractor and Academy access; confirm which services and learning content are included in your chosen plan. Mobile safety forms, controlled documents, training and certification records, incident and corrective-action workflows, recurring scheduling, monitoring and subcontractor administration. Consulting, implementation, form customization, training services and specific learning content remain separate unless included in the order.

    The terms exclude implementation, consulting, form customization and training professional services from Subscription Services unless the order includes them. Itemize those deliverables and acceptance criteria.

    Subscription responsibilities
    Controlled document publishing and version historyDocumented by vendor

    Administrators can upload Word, PDF or Excel documents, assign them to employees for review and publish them for web and mobile access; publishing converts documents to PDF. Replacing the file within the existing record preserves previous versions and name-change history, while published or unpublished status controls worker visibility after the next mobile synchronization. Buyers should test acknowledgements, overdue reviews, offline availability and whether all metadata changes create an auditable revision.

    Incident workflows, corrective actions and monitoringDepends on scope

    Official demonstrations describe mandatory incident fields, worker-to-supervisor-to-management routing, management signatures, response-triggered corrective actions, hazard rankings, tags, filtered reports, dashboards and custom notifications. The reviewed material does not establish a mandatory independent closure approver, root-cause method or later effectiveness review, so those controls must be demonstrated or configured.

    1Life pricing

    Free plan and employee-based paid tiers; reconcile public pages with the order

    The explicit Canadian pricing page labels its offer CAD, shows the free plan for 1-5 employees with one administrator, and displays Basic at CAD $16.56 per employee with a CAD $140 monthly minimum. The general homepage also shows a free plan for 1-5 employees with one administrator and the same $140 monthly minimum for Basic, but displays Basic at $14 per employee; its other paid tiers likewise carry lower per-employee amounts than the Canadian page. The pricing page shows one Basic amount while the homepage shows another, so ask 1Life which figure and currency apply to your order. Both pages offer a free trial, which the trial page describes as a 14-day full-featured account. The terms state that subscription charges are invoiced annually in advance unless the order says otherwise. Treat the public figures as plan examples and confirm currency, employee-count method, minimum charge, administrator allowance, annual commitment, taxes and renewal terms in the accepted order.

    Pricing sources checked : Selected sources checked; plan prices above. The general homepage shows different figures, while the terms default to annual-in-advance invoicing and separate professional services, so the accepted order must reconcile the controlling plan, minimum and billing cycle.

    Offline work and integrations

    The vendor advertises offline forms and documents. Demonstrate caching, photos, signatures and recovery after reconnecting. Voice-to-text is listed separately and should not be assumed to work offline on every device.

    What we could not verify

    6 depend on scope

    Demo script

    Demo exercise: mobile hazard with corrective action

    1. Create a short hazard form and assign it to a worker.
    2. Try dictation and an annotated photo on the intended phone.
    3. Route the record to a supervisor for follow-up.
    4. Check signature history and closure evidence.

    Demo exercise: training expiry and field access

    1. Assign a role-specific training plan.
    2. Set a sample certificate renewal date.
    3. Check worker and manager access to the record.
    4. Test the required field documents without connectivity.

    Demo exercise: controlled procedure revision to worker acknowledgement

    1. Replace an existing safe-work procedure within its current document record, review the archived prior version and publish the revision to the affected employee group.
    2. Synchronize a prepared mobile device, confirm that the new PDF replaces the unpublished version and have one worker review and sign it while another remains overdue.
    3. Use the monitoring and reporting views to identify both acknowledgement states, then verify which version, timestamp and employee signature remain attached to each record.

    Ask the vendor to show you

    1. Does 1Life offer a free trial?
    2. Which modules, roles and implementation services are included?
    3. Can you demonstrate our exact field task and failure recovery?
    4. How can we export the record history and attachments?
    5. Reconcile the general homepage and explicit CAD pricing page in a written order showing employee-count rules, minimum charge, administrators, billing cycle and renewal pricing.
    6. Replace an existing document rather than uploading a duplicate, then prove that its previous file, name, publication status and worker acknowledgements remain traceable.

    Questions the sources answer

    Does 1Life offer a free trial?

    The official trial page advertises a 14-day full-featured free trial after account confirmation. Confirm data export and any conversion conditions before starting.

    Can crews dictate reports in 1Life?

    The software page explicitly lists voice-to-text for mobile forms. Validate the required languages and device configuration. Offline dictation is not established by that feature listing.

    Can 1Life replace compliance advice?

    It can organize safety records and assigned work. Its terms place responsibility for appropriate use and applicable requirements on the customer. Software does not certify the safety program.

    Are onboarding and customization included in the 1Life subscription?

    Not automatically. The terms distinguish Subscription Services from professional services such as implementation, consulting, form customization and training. Require the order to itemize what is included.
