New York’s construction sector is unlike any other. With Local Law 196, SST training requirements, and complex project scopes ranging from skyscrapers to transit hubs, staying compliant and productive demands more than just hard hats and checklists. Site safety needs to be smart, fast, and field-proven. That’s where digital site safety platforms come in.
This article breaks down the leading construction site safety software providers operating in New York and explains why more and more contractors are choosing Boxcore to manage compliance, workforce visibility, and safety documentation.
1. Boxcore: Built for NYC Contractors and Site Teams
Boxcore has quickly become one of the most trusted platforms for managing site safety and workforce compliance in New York. Designed specifically for the boots on the ground, Boxcore delivers an intuitive experience tailored to the pace and complexity of NYC construction.
Key Reasons NYC Contractors Choose Boxcore:
- Digital SST and OSHA Card Tracking: Automatically log, verify, and track training credentials for every worker.
- Facial Recognition Access Control: Integrated directly into the mobile app, allowing secure, real-time entry and attendance tracking.
- Local Law 196 Compliance: Boxcore helps contractors stay ahead of DOB requirements by centralising safety documentation, training records, and site inductions.
- Built for Subcontractors: Nearly half of Boxcore’s client base are subcontractors. The platform makes it easy to upload documents, verify training, and get on-site fast.
- Mobile-First, Fast Rollout: Most site teams are up and running within 24–48 hours. Minimal training required. Full onboarding and support are included.
Boxcore has already been adopted by over 20 leading contractors in the US, including some of the top 50 general contractors in North America. The feedback from New York superintendents and safety officers has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly around ease of use and local support.

2. Procore (with Boxcore Integration)
Procore is widely used across the US for project management, including in New York. While Procore’s core platform isn’t dedicated to safety, it integrates directly with Boxcore. This allows contractors already using Procore for coordination and documentation to easily add robust safety and compliance workflows.
Why It Works:
- Seamless integration with Boxcore for safety tracking.
- Centralised platform for project data.
- Ideal for large general contractors managing multiple subcontractors and documentation workflows.

3. eMOD Safety
eMOD is another field-first safety platform used by safety officers and superintendents. It offers a digital-first approach to safety processes including audits, toolbox talks, and incident reporting.
Highlights:
- Customisable digital forms and daily reports.
- Incident and hazard tracking in real time.
- Field-level adoption for daily toolbox talks and JHAs.
eMOD is a strong contender for medium to large contractors needing paperless safety compliance, although its feature set is narrower compared to Boxcore’s broader training, access, and workforce tools.
4. Safesite
Safesite supports safety inspections, checklists, and corrective actions. It’s primarily focused on enabling teams to track safety performance and reduce risks.
Features:
- Scheduled and ad hoc inspections.
- Risk-based scoring and trending data.
- Supports multiple projects and reporting formats.
Safesite is a practical option for contractors focused heavily on documentation and inspection control, but lacks integrated time and attendance or access control features.
5. ConstructSecure
ConstructSecure is popular among large infrastructure clients and developers. Their platform is used more for safety prequalification, risk scoring, and compliance performance monitoring.
Best For:
- Developers and Tier One GCs who need to assess subcontractor safety programs.
- Corporate-level EHS teams focused on audit and contractor vetting.
Unlike Boxcore, ConstructSecure is not built for daily use by field teams or subcontractors on site.
