The platform, feature by feature
Everything you need, classroom to campus
Any Building, Any Campus
Use phones, tablets, or computers to conduct inspections across classrooms, labs, gyms, dorms, athletic fields, and administrative buildings. SBN works the same in a one-school district as it does across a multi-campus university system.
Drive safety in every building and lab.
Our mobile inspection tools allow facilities staff, custodians, science teachers, and EHS officers to capture issues right where they occur — no clipboards, no paper, no transcribing later.
Real-time photo capture and mark-up tools help you document broken playground equipment, leaking lab faucets, blocked exits, or anything else that needs attention — without leaving the location.
A Unified Approach
No more juggling spreadsheets, paper forms, and emails to manage facility and lab safety across multiple buildings.
Our software platform lets you manage inspections, chemical reconciliations, SDS access, AED and eyewash checks, and incident reports — all in one secure platform that works for elementary schools, high schools, community colleges, and research universities.
Push-button reporting using Simple But Needed’s K-12 and higher ed templates.
Meeting state department of education requirements, OSHA, EPA, NFPA, or insurance carrier requirements is easy with SBN. Choose from pre-built education compliance checklists or build your own to tailor it to your district or campus exact needs.
Compliance Reporting Made Easy
Use our out-of-the-box templates for state inspections, fire marshal visits, OSHA recordkeeping, lab audits, and Title IX safety reviews — or create your own forms with our intuitive builder.
Generate professional PDF reports with a single click and maintain a complete audit trail of who inspected what and when.
Data Your Way, Data Done Right
Education safety documentation doesn’t have to be a headache. That’s why SBN designed its platform to simplify every part of the process — from chemical tracking to playground inspections to fire drill records.
Need to document chemical hygiene plans for your high school chem labs? Looking for real-time SDS access for art teachers and shop instructors? Want to track AED battery checks across forty buildings? SBN helps you do it all — without switching between systems or tools.
SBN also has built-in dashboards, can generate custom spreadsheet exports that can be auto-scheduled for delivery to district leadership or campus safety committees, and is also fully API enabled (so feel free to export your data to PowerBI, Tableau, or your facilities management system).
Record keeping is made easy. All records and inspection history live in one place, available when state inspectors, insurance auditors, or accreditors come calling.
Design Custom Labels and QR Codes
Design your own custom inspection forms, room signage, and chemical labels in minutes without the need for costly software customization fees. Include scannable QR codes, building and room numbers, asset tags, owner information and more. All labels are formatted to print directly to your label printer (e.g. Zebra) or to standard office printers. No need to buy and be stuck with vendor specific labels.

SBN customers see up to 75% efficiency gains for facilities, EHS, and compliance staff.
Leverage our dashboards to spot maintenance backlogs, overdue inspections, expired chemicals, and emerging safety trends — and act before something becomes a problem.
Launch your campus safety processes with one click.
