Boost productivity on site

Everyday presents new challenges on a construction site. Keep everyone informed and aligned by streamlining ergonomic hazard prevention strategies. The moment something changes you can adapt processes and procedures in a few clicks, with changes rolling out instantly to everyone on site.

“SafetyCulture has saved us about 1,500 man hours per year. That’s a huge efficiency gain.”

Nick Argyropoulous

Managing Director, NA Group Civil and Road Construction

Prevent incidents and promote a safety culture

Encourage a supportive and inclusive culture where teams are comfortable reporting safety concerns and addressing potential risks. By making it easy for anyone to report observations, hazards, near misses, and incidents, you can respond quickly and put the right measures in place.

“Today, we’re at 2.5 million hours without a lost time injury. SafetyCulture allows us to achieve that. You don’t work 2.5 million hours and just be lucky.”

Efficiently highlight injury and accident risks

Construction sites come with inherent safety hazards, but conducting routine inspections can help decrease the frequency of accidents. Empower teams to accurately report these hazards in real time with media attachments and use their reports to identify the ergonomic risks associated with on-site activities.

Keep equipment in good condition for safety

Monitor the condition of frequently used construction tools and garments, such as personal protective equipment, to ensure they are usable and still up to standard. Attach unique profile codes for equipment to provide digital usage manuals and encourage teams to adhere to the proper use of equipment and tools.
