OSHA Electrical Compliance Software: 7 Options for 2027

Start with the category decision

The best osha electrical compliance software for a small home-services business is usually a records tool that keeps training, inspection and PPE dates current, not the product with the longest module list. Most owners who search this phrase have one specific worry: an inspector or insurer asks for a lockout procedure, a training certificate or a glove test date, and the file is empty or out of date.

Four product types appear in this search. General inspection and training apps, such as Mitti and Workhub, cover checklists and training across the whole business. Electrical-specific calendars, such as Ecesis, are built around PPE tests, GFCI checks and retraining dates. Facility maintenance platforms, such as Oxmaint, add electrical-room checklists and work orders. Enterprise EHS and lockout platforms, such as VelocityEHS, Vector Solutions and Rockford Systems, are built for larger safety programs. A fifth option is a do-it-yourself stack in Zapier, Make or n8n, which we cover later.

Our read: if your crews need dated records and reminders, start with the first two types. If your crews lock out equipment every day, an enterprise platform deserves a demo, but expect a harder cost comparison because most of those vendors do not publish prices.

Key Takeaways

TL;DR: Buy for records and reminders first, and pay for an enterprise lockout platform only when lockout is a daily task for your crews.

• Osha electrical compliance software organizes evidence and reminders. It does not make a shop compliant by itself.

• The two dates to track first are the annual periodic inspection of each lockout procedure and the retraining cycle for qualified workers.

• Ecesis's page is the most explicit about electrical items: PPE tests, GFCI checks, panel audits and arc-flash assessment scheduling.

• Mitti, Workhub and Oxmaint publish prices on their own pricing pages. Ecesis, VelocityEHS, Vector Solutions and Rockford Systems are quote-based on the pages we read.

• A Zapier, Make or n8n stack can keep run history and error branches, but your team must design the logging, escalation and access controls.

What the software must cover

osha electrical compliance software is a system that stores your written procedures, training certificates, periodic inspection records and PPE test dates, and warns an owner before any of them lapses. The requirements behind that definition come from OSHA's rules, not from vendor marketing.

For lockout and tagout, OSHA's rule says "the employer shall conduct a periodic inspection of the energy control procedure at least annually." That means one inspection each year for each procedure, performed by an authorized employee who does not use the procedure being inspected, according to OSHA (at least once a year, 1910.147(c)(6)(i)). The same standard requires the employer to certify that training "has been accomplished and is being kept up to date," and to retrain after a change in job assignment or procedures.

Crews working on construction sites face a different rule set. OSHA's construction electrical rule prohibits working so close to a power circuit that contact is possible unless the circuit is de-energized and grounded or effectively guarded, according to OSHA (1926.416(a)(1)). Which set applies depends on whether the work is general industry or construction, so confirm that with OSHA guidance or your counsel before you design the program.

Training is where the next lapse usually appears. Ecesis's page describes "3-year retraining reminders aligned with NFPA 70E recommendations" and lists qualified and unqualified person training as separate items. Retraining reminder: every 3 years according to Ecesis (page read 2026). That is the vendor's stated cycle, so confirm it against the edition of NFPA 70E your insurer or inspector uses.

How we evaluated these tools

We weighted six criteria before comparing products. The weights are our analysis, not vendor data, and they favor electrical records because that is the gap this reader is trying to close. Each product was checked against its own public pages, plus two independent sources: OSHA's regulation text and a third-party review from Fit Small Business.

A product earns points for a feature only when its own page names it. A blank or "Not stated" cell means the page we read was silent, not that the product lacks the feature.

We left out two names that came up in search. Brady's LINK360 and Safesite could not be opened from their official sites in this session, so we make no price or feature claim for either. QuickSafety's domain was listed for sale, so we dropped it. SafetyCulture's pricing address now redirects to mitti.com, where the product is listed as "Mitti (by SafetyCulture)." A Fit Small Business review updated March 7, 2025 labels Safesite the best option for OSHA safety compliance, according to Fit Small Business (2025). That is a reviewer's view, and we did not verify it against Safesite's own pages.

What each product documents

The table below records what each product's pages state. Factual cells come from the pages linked in the profiles; the profiles carry our analysis.

Ecesis is the most explicit on electrical items. Oxmaint's electrical-room page is the closest second, but it is framed around facility maintenance. The general platforms cover training and inspections, and none of their pages we read names electrical items such as GFCI tests or arc-flash dates.

Pricing and the math for a 12-technician crew

Pricing checked November 10, 2026.

Prices below are only the ones printed on each vendor's pricing page as we read it. Where a vendor printed no price, the cell says Quote-based.

Premium plan: $24 per seat monthly with annual billing according to Mitti (page read 2026). On Mitti, the Premium plan is $29 per seat monthly when billed monthly, the Free plan covers up to 10 seats, and the Enterprise tier is a custom price.

Standard plan: $3 per user monthly, minimum 3 users according to Workhub (page read 2026). On Workhub, the Free plan is $0 with no published seat cap, and the Standard plan includes a 30-day free trial.

On Oxmaint, the Pro plan is $19 per user monthly or $190 per user yearly, and the Agentic plan is $49 per user monthly or $490 per user yearly, according to Oxmaint (page read 2026). Its Lite tier is free but capped at 3 work orders per month, and its Enterprise tier is quote-based.

Annual cost equals seats × price × months. The table below costs only seat-based tiers for a 12-technician crew, so the numbers are illustrative and use the published prices above.

Ecesis, VelocityEHS, Vector Solutions and Rockford Systems are absent from the math because none of their pages printed a price. Getting a real number from them means asking for a quote in writing, along with the export format and any API terms.

Vendor profiles

Mitti (by SafetyCulture)

Vendor data: Mitti's pricing page lists Free, Premium and Enterprise plans, with the Free plan covering up to 10 seats. Its product material describes an Inspections feature that turns "checklists into connected workflows," a Training feature for "on-the-job training," and issue reporting. Its site links to API developer documentation, but the export options are not stated. Evidence: Mitti pricing.

Best fit: crews that want one app for checklists, on-the-job training and issue reports across several job sites.

Limitations: the pages we read do not name electrical items such as GFCI tests or arc-flash dates, so you would build those checklists yourself.

Implementation: create a panel and GFCI checklist, assign the training modules, and set the Premium seat count to the crew size. Our read: a strong general tool that needs an electrical template before it covers your real gap.

Workhub

Vendor data: the Free plan is $0 per user with "Forever free. No credit card. No contract." Its included features name Training & Certification and Incident Tracking & Form Management. The Standard plan is $3 per user monthly with a minimum of 3 users and a 30-day trial. Evidence: Workhub pricing.

Best fit: very small teams that need training certificates and incident forms at the lowest published cost on this list.

Limitations: electrical items and inspection scheduling are not named on the pricing page we read. Export and API details are not stated either.

Implementation: start on the Free plan to test certificate tracking during a trial period, then confirm whether the Standard plan adds the inspection features you need before you pay.

Ecesis

Vendor data: the page describes training for qualified and unqualified persons with retraining reminders, insulating glove and blanket test schedules tracked by voltage class, electrical equipment inspections with GFCI testing and panel audits, arc-flash assessment scheduling, and annual electrical safety program reviews. It offers a mobile app for field documentation. No integration or API is mentioned, and pricing is not published. Evidence: Ecesis electrical calendar.

Best fit: electrical-only programs where PPE test dates and retraining are the main gaps.

Limitations: the electrical page we read does not cover lockout procedures, which Ecesis sells on a separate compliance calendar page we did not open. No export or integration details are published, and you need a quote before you can budget.

Implementation: load your PPE inventory by voltage class and test date, schedule the retraining cycle the vendor describes, and request the export format in writing before you sign.

Oxmaint

Vendor data: the electrical-room checklist references NFPA 70E or OSHA rules for each item and can be set up by voltage class. Failed items trigger a corrective-action workflow and generate a work order with the inspection photo attached. Offline checklists sync when reconnected, and inspection records export as audit-ready PDF reports. Training records are not described. Evidence: Oxmaint electrical room checklist.

Best fit: businesses with equipment rooms or panels where an inspection failure should become a tracked work order.

Limitations: the product is framed around facility maintenance rather than crew training. The Lite tier's 3-work-order monthly cap is tight for any team that routes every task through work orders.

Implementation: map each panel room to a voltage-class template, decide who receives generated work orders, and export PDFs for the file at each inspection cycle.

VelocityEHS

Vendor data: the inspections page describes custom digital checklists, scheduled inspections at weekly, monthly or annual intervals with reminders, corrective-action assignments with automated notifications, and offline inspections on its mobile app. Regulatory content is available "with subscription." Pricing is not published, and the page directs visitors to demos. Evidence: VelocityEHS inspections.

Best fit: multi-site companies with a dedicated EHS staff member who will run the platform.

Limitations: the pages we read do not mention electrical safety or lockout, pricing is not published, and the platform is likely more than a technician crew needs.

Implementation: map the inspection calendar to existing schedules and plan for administrator time before a quote.

Vector Solutions

Vendor data: the EHS product, shown under the IndustrySafe name in some listings, includes an Inspections & Audits module, Incident Management, and a page describing how to "Simplify incident reporting to OSHA." Its LMS describes assigning, tracking and reporting compliance training. Evidence: Vector Solutions EHS and NFPA 70E training.

Best fit: businesses that want OSHA training courses and EHS records from one vendor.

Limitations: no price is published on the pages we read, and the EHS modules are described in general terms. The NFPA 70E training page we opened did not show course names in the portion we could read.

Implementation: before buying, ask for a demo that shows an electrical checklist and course tracking for a real crew member.

Rockford Systems (RS LOTO)

Vendor data: the RS LOTO page describes a mobile procedure builder where users annotate a photo of each energy source, a QR code for each approved procedure, automatically scheduled annual audits with the next due date, training records and competency assessments, and an audit trail of lockouts and training. It mentions "BI integration options" without naming formats. Pricing is not published. Evidence: RS LOTO software.

Best fit: crews that lock out machinery every day and need procedures per energy source with annual audit evidence.

Limitations: the page is built around machine lockout. Electrical panel work and PPE tests are not named, and no export format or API is listed.

Implementation: build procedures for the equipment you lock out most often first, then add the training and audit schedule. Our read: it is a lockout platform first, so it fits electrical records only if lockout is central to your work.

Where the records break down

A lapse usually starts with a date nobody owns: a retraining due next quarter, a glove test that expired, or a lockout inspection that slipped past its year. A configurable design can help with that, but it is a proposed workflow, not a deployed one.

A proposed US Tech Automations design would sit on top of whichever record system you choose. The trigger is a new training or inspection row, exported as a file or pulled through an API. The workflow checks each row's due date against the retraining and annual inspection cycles, drafts an owner reminder in Gmail and places a calendar hold in Google Calendar, and writes a dated due list to Google Sheets. Prerequisites: an export or API from the system of record. None of the vendor pages we read confirms an API for these products, so confirm that first. Human review: the owner approves each reminder before it sends, and a qualified person decides whether an inspection passed.

A second proposed design handles failed items. The trigger is an inspection item marked failed, such as a missing GFCI test. The workflow opens a corrective-action row in HubSpot or Google Sheets and notifies the service manager with the inspection date and a link to the photo. Prerequisites: a webhook or export from the inspection tool, which we could not confirm for Mitti, Oxmaint or Ecesis. Human review: a qualified person decides whether work stops. The workflow never closes a hazard item on its own, and any item involving energized work goes to a named owner without waiting for the next scheduled check.

Build it yourself or buy?

The real alternative for many owners is a stack in Zapier, Make or n8n. Those tools can keep run history, route errors into a separate branch and store audit evidence when they are configured that way. n8n's documentation says an error workflow "runs if an execution fails" and must start with an Error Trigger, according to n8n (page read 2026). The owner still has to design what a vendor would normally supply: duplicate protection so a reminder is not sent twice, escalation paths, access controls on the records, and someone who maintains the flows when a connected app changes its fields.

Worked example (illustrative, not a customer): a 12-technician crew with 3 lockout procedures. On a 3-year retraining cycle, 12 technicians produce 4 retraining records due each year, since 12 ÷ 3 = 4. The 3 procedures need 3 annual inspections, so the file carries 7 dated events a year (4 + 3). On Mitti's Premium plan billed annually, 12 seats cost 12 × $24 = $288 per month, or 12 × $24 × 12 = $3,456 per year. If the team builds this reminder logic in n8n, the error workflow can read execution.retryOf, which is present only when an execution is a retry of a failed execution, so a retry is not counted as a new failure.

Who this is for

• Mitti: owners who want one app for inspections, training and issue reports across job sites.

• Workhub: very small teams that need certificates and incident forms at a low published price.

• Ecesis: owners whose main gap is PPE tests, GFCI checks and retraining dates.

• Oxmaint: businesses with equipment rooms that want inspection failures to create tracked work orders.

• VelocityEHS and Vector Solutions: multi-site companies with EHS staff who will take a quote and run a platform.

• Rockford Systems: crews that lock out machinery daily and need annual audit evidence per procedure.

• US Tech Automations: teams that already have an exportable record system and want proposed reminder and escalation workflows on top of it.

Red flags: you need arc-flash engineering studies, no one will review the records each month, or none of the tools you are considering can export your records.

When NOT to use US Tech Automations: a simpler tool wins in three cases. If your only gap is a checklist with PDF exports, a published-price tool such as Mitti or Oxmaint may cover it without a custom build. If your crews already run a LOTO or EHS platform with approval workflows, a second layer adds another system to audit. If your records live somewhere with no export or API, there is nothing for an automation to read. The published integrations on the US Tech Automations site are Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Sheets, HubSpot, QuickBooks and Stripe, and the site does not list OSHA, lockout or electrical-records features.

Decision checklist

• Name the three records you must prove: training, PPE tests and lockout inspections.

• Ask each vendor in writing for the export format and whether an API exists.

• Confirm electrical items such as GFCI tests, PPE by voltage class and arc-flash dates during a demo or trial.

• Price the seat count you have today and the one you expect within a year.

• Assign one owner to review reminders every month.

• Keep a qualified person's sign-off on every inspection pass or fail.

Glossary

• LOTO: lockout and tagout, the practice of keeping equipment de-energized during service.

• Energy control procedure: the written steps for isolating and controlling hazardous energy on a piece of equipment.

• Authorized employee: a worker trained to lock out equipment and apply a procedure.

• Qualified person: a worker trained to work on or near exposed energized parts.

• Periodic inspection: the recurring check that a lockout procedure is being followed.

• PPE test: a dated test of insulating gloves or blankets, usually tracked by voltage class.

• GFCI: ground-fault circuit interrupter, a protective device that trips on current leakage.

• Audit trail: a time-stamped record of who did what and when.

Frequently asked questions

Does any osha electrical compliance software make a business compliant?

No. The software holds the records and sends reminders, and the employer still has to run the program and act on what it shows.

Which of these tools publish prices?

Mitti, Workhub and Oxmaint publish per-seat or per-user prices on their pricing pages. Ecesis, VelocityEHS, Vector Solutions and Rockford Systems did not print a price on the pages we read, so their cost is quote-based.

How often does a lockout procedure need a periodic inspection?

At least once a year, and an authorized employee who does not use the procedure must perform it.

Does the 2027 NFPA 70E edition change training?

Trade coverage describes a 14th edition of NFPA 70E. Next edition: 14th edition of NFPA 70E according to Graceport (page read 2026). That coverage recommends reviewing training materials against the current edition and does not say what the standard requires for retraining, so confirm the edition in force with NFPA before setting retraining dates.

Can a free tier be enough?

Sometimes. The Workhub free tier costs $0 with no published seat cap, and Mitti's free tier covers up to 10 seats, but neither pricing page names electrical items, so test them against your checklist before you rely on the free tier.

Are Zapier, Make or n8n cheaper than a dedicated tool?

They can be in software fees, but the owner must design logging, escalation and access controls, and that design time continues after launch.

Conclusion

Start with the category decision: choose the tool that proves your training, PPE and inspection dates, then confirm the export path before you sign. Get written quotes from any vendor that did not publish a price, and treat the proposed workflows above as a design to check, not a finished system.
