SiGe-Plan maintenance
Structured editor for the Site Health & Safety Plan including phase matrix. Version history kept automatically, publication to all trades via the portal.
Site safety coordination software (SiGeKo)
Site safety coordination,
documented to legal standard.
DOC.mobile SiGeKo covers every duty of the German SiGeKo - the Site Health & Safety Coordinator under the BaustellV (German Construction Site Ordinance): Site H&S plan (SiGe-Plan), walk-through reports, toolbox talks with signature, risk assessments, Annex 2 and Annex 3 records. Captured on a tablet, archived audit-proof.
Health & Safety Coordination
SiGeKo under the BaustellV - mobile, not a paper trail.
The German SiGeKo - Sicherheits- und Gesundheitsschutzkoordinator, i.e. the Site Health & Safety Coordinator appointed under the BaustellV (German Construction Site Ordinance) - carries substantial responsibility: drafting and maintaining the Site Health & Safety Plan (SiGe-Plan), filing the Advance Notice with the competent labour-safety authority, conducting site walks with formal records, briefing the trades on site, coordinating concurrent works. In practice this is still being done on clipboards, paper binders and Word templates - slow, error-prone, hard to keep audit-ready. DOC.mobile SiGeKo bundles every SiGeKo and site-manager duty into one app: capture on a tablet on site, countersigned by site management, archived audit-proof in line with the German ArbSchG (Occupational Health and Safety Act) and ArbStättV (Workplace Ordinance).
Every BaustellV duty in a single app.
From the first draft of the SiGe-Plan, through the Annex 1 Advance Notice, all the way to the Annex 2 mandatory record for particularly hazardous works: DOC.mobile SiGeKo guides the coordinator through every duty - with templates, checklists and reminders. Walk-through reports are produced live on the walk, defects are assigned on the spot to the responsible firm by e-mail or portal, toolbox talks are signed with a touch signature. When the BG BAU (German employers' liability insurance for the construction industry) audits, or when an incident is investigated, a complete chronological record is available.

Liability matters
Missed toolbox talks or an incomplete SiGe-Plan regularly trigger fines of up to EUR 30,000 - and personal liability for the coordinator - after a construction accident. Complete, contemporaneous, signed documentation is the most effective insurance.
Six strengths
What sets the SiGeKo site-manager app apart.
From SiGe-Plan to audit-ready file: DOC.mobile SiGeKo covers every duty of the Site Health & Safety Coordinator in one application.
Walk-through report
Captured live on site: finding, photo, responsible party, deadline. PDF report generated immediately and dispatched to site management.
Toolbox talks
Templates for initial and refresher briefings, touch signature of attendees, automatic recall after 12 months.
Risk assessment
Templates aligned with §5 ArbSchG (German Occupational Safety Act) and BetrSichV (Industrial Safety Ordinance). Risk matrix, control catalogue, effectiveness check documented.
BaustellV Annex 2 & 3
Full templates for particularly hazardous works (Annex 2) and construction works subject to Advance-Notice duty (Annex 3).
Audit archive
Complete chronology of every walk, toolbox talk and defect - revision-safe, tamper-evident, GoBD-compliant (German tax-relevant data principles).
How a SiGeKo walk runs
From plan to audit-proof archive in four steps.
Plan
SiGe-Plan & Advance Notice
Structure phases, trades and risks in the SiGe-Plan. Generate the Advance Notice for the labour-safety authority from the project master data.
Walk
On site, on a tablet
Findings with photo, plan pin, responsible party and deadline. PDF report ready on the spot - no desk rework afterwards.
Brief
With touch signature
Initial or refresher toolbox talk with every worker. Template-driven content, signature on the tablet, automatic recall.
Archive
Audit-ready
All records are archived GoBD-compliant. When the BG BAU or the labour-safety authority audits: one click, everything there.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about SiGeKo software
Is DOC.mobile SiGeKo compliant with the German BaustellV?
Yes. The application fully covers the requirements of the German Construction Site Ordinance (BaustellV): §2 (owner's duties), §3 (appointment of the coordinator), §4 (Advance Notice), §5 (Site H&S plan) and Annex 2/3. Templates are aligned with RAB 30 (German Rules for Occupational Safety on Construction Sites).
How is the Advance Notice filed with the labour-safety authority?
From the project master data the system generates the Advance Notice required by Annex 1 BaustellV. Delivery by e-mail to the competent supervisory authority with a revision-safe receipt. Updates to programme or staffing are carried through automatically.
What does a compliant toolbox talk cover?
Templates are provided for initial briefings (before work starts), refresher briefings (at least annually, §12 ArbSchG - German Occupational Safety Act) and trigger-based briefings (e.g. after an incident). Content aligned with DGUV (German social accident insurance) rules and BG BAU requirements. Can be customised per firm on request.
How does the SiGeKo solution interlock with defect management?
Safety-relevant findings spotted on the walk can be handed over directly to DOC.mobile Defect Management. This produces a single defect chronology across construction and safety walks, sharing one data pool.
Does the app work without mobile coverage on site?
Yes. Every capture flow (SiGe-Plan updates, walks, toolbox talks, signatures) works offline. Sync runs automatically once the device is online again; the original timestamp is preserved.
How long are records archived?
By default 10 years, in line with §257 HGB (German Commercial Code) and German tax retention periods. For particularly critical works (e.g. asbestos) extendable to 40 years. Records are deleted or anonymised automatically when the retention period expires.
Is the app ArbSchG-compliant?
Yes. Risk assessments are produced and documented under §5 ArbSchG (Occupational Safety Act), controls are tracked under §3 ArbSchG, and effectiveness is checked under §3 (1) sentence 2 ArbSchG. So you cover not only your SiGeKo duties, but also general occupational-safety documentation.
Does the solution also suit wind and industrial plant?
Yes. In use on onshore and offshore wind projects as well as industrial plant (plant engineering, petrochemical) - with trade-specific templates and HSE modules. More under Wind & Energy and Construction.
