Don’t hand the field a 300-page binder

Your foreman needs one number — the rated capacity at the reach they’re working — buried on page 147 of a 312-page manual. Rosie reads it so they don’t have to.

A foreman asking Rosie for a rated capacity and getting the exact number cited from the manual

A load’s staged and ready. Your foreman is at the controls of the telehandler. Before they lift, they need one thing: the rated capacity at the reach they’re working. It’s a safety call, and it has to be right.

That number lives on a load chart — somewhere inside a 312-page operator’s manual. So the options are: pinch-and-zoom through a giant PDF on a cracked phone screen, radio the office and wait, or eyeball it and hope. None of those are good. Two of them are dangerous.

Or they just ask Rosie.

One question. One precise answer — with the exact source cited, straight from page 147. And because Rosie keeps the context, the follow-up is just as fast: ask about working on a slope, and she flags the side-slope limit with the safety citation before it becomes a problem.

No waiting. No scrolling. No guessing. The foreman gets the right answer in plain language, sourced from the manual — and the work keeps moving, and it’s safer.

It’s not just forklifts

SDS sheets, equipment manuals, your own Safe Work Procedures, the GC’s spec — whatever your crew needs to know, Rosie reads the whole document and hands back the one answer that matters.

  • Cited, so it’s trusted.
  • Instant, so nobody stops working.
  • In plain language, so the field can act on it.

Give your crew the answer. Not the binder.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can Rosie read equipment manuals and SDS sheets?
Yes. Rosie can help crews find the specific answer inside long documents such as manuals, SDS sheets, Safe Work Procedures, and project specifications stored or connected in SALUS.
Does Rosie cite where an answer came from?
Yes. Rosie is designed to return the answer with the source behind it, so a foreman can see whether the response came from a manual, procedure, SDS, or other approved document.
Can crews ask in plain language?
Yes. The field does not need to know the exact document title or page number. They can ask the operational question, and Rosie helps find the relevant answer.
Does Rosie replace the official procedure or manual?
No. Rosie makes approved documents easier to use in the moment. The source document remains the record, and the safety team still controls which documents are current and approved.
