Ontario-built · For construction crews
Comprehension Assurance is QA for safety training: you don't pour a slab and hope it's strong — you break a test cylinder. Dashpot is that test cylinder — proof your training actually set. It reads the hazard plan your site already makes every morning and texts each worker a link — no app. They watch a short safety video matched to one of today's hazards, then a guided AI conversation checks they can explain the hazard, its controls, and the safe way to work — in their own words. The output isn't a signature. It's a per-worker, per-hazard record of verified comprehension — kept current, day by day.
Cutting concrete block today. Walk me through how you'll control the silica dust.
wet cut. keep water on the blade so dust never goes airborne. respirator if we have to dry cut inside
Close. What do you do if the water feed dies halfway through a cut?
stop cutting. no water, no cut. tell the foreman, swap the feed before we start again
01 / The problem with the sign-in sheet
Every morning, on every active jobsite, a supervisor reads the hazard plan, workers nod and sign, and the binder fills with proof of attendance. But you'd never pour a slab and just hope it's strong — you break a test cylinder. Safety training is the one pour nobody tests. That gap costs you three ways.
COR™ gates public work. Contractor platforms grade you for utilities, transit, and major GCs — slip a threshold and the invitations quietly stop. Your safety record is a sales document. Almost nobody manages it like one.
A classroom day burns $250–500+ per worker in wages alone — paid for zero production — for the format research says retains worst. Most of that training isn't legislated off-site. It's habit.
Ontario now carries fines up to $2M per offence and a $500k mandatory minimum for repeat serious offences. Against that exposure, a signature collected in the morning rush is thin evidence of due diligence.
02 / The morning loop
This is the QA step on your safety training — the test cylinder that proves it set, run in five minutes off the plan you already produce.
The supervisor fills out the morning job safety plan exactly as they always do. That's it — Dashpot takes it from there.
Dashpot extracts the specific hazards on today's actual work — not generic content.
Each worker receives an SMS link. No app, no account, no password.
A focused micro-lesson, then a guided dialogue that requires the worker to explain it back.
A weak answer triggers remediation and a re-check. Every record ends gap found → gap closed.
The safety lead sees real-time comprehension; the transcript files itself as audit-ready evidence — compounding into your Comprehension Rate, the credential you carry into every bid.
03 / Why contractors buy it
Your record becomes a credential.
Construction's best work sits behind safety gates — and everyday use of Dashpot assembles what gets you through them.
WSIB rewards proven practice.
WSIB's Health & Safety Excellence Program pays a flat $2,000 to $50,000 for each completed and validated topic, set by your prior-year premium band. The 200% figure is a plan-level cap, not a rebate rate. Dashpot produces daily comprehension records that can support the program's implementation-evidence requirements.
Understanding prevents. The record defends.
Crews that genuinely understand hazards make fewer mistakes — and if the worst happens, you hold contemporaneous, per-worker evidence that each crew member understood the hazard and the control: the kind of record that supports a due-diligence position.
04 / Not our claims — the literature's
of newly learned material can fade within days without reinforcement — the classic forgetting curve. A class last spring says little about what's in a worker's head this morning.

Engaging, participatory training builds roughly three times the safety knowledge of passive lectures and videos — and prevents more injuries.
