Boost productivity on site

Everyday presents new challenges on a construction site. Keep everyone informed and aligned by digitizing pre-start checks, site safety assessments, and inductions. 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.”

Steve DeWees
Project Executive, Level 10 Construction

Efficiently identify potential hazards and risks

A construction site is an inherently high-risk environment, which is why it’s important to have a reliable record that keeps track of workplace threats. Create a risk register after conducting assessments to identify potential risks and archive safety audits to keep as a reference when implementing corrective measures.

Highlight areas for improving safety

Use and analyze data from safety inspections to determine areas that require more urgent attention against risks. Compare reports from different teams to assess their exposure to safety hazards while onsite and address issues before they become a large-scale risk for the organization.

SafetyCulture for teams

Enhance risk awareness across all stakeholders

Keep teams in the loop and delegate instructions to prevent on-site incidents. Use Heads Up to create and share video messages for safety instructions and keep a record of acknowledgment to know if someone has engaged with the material.

Frequently Asked Questions

Construction risk assessment software is used to evaluate, manage, and mitigate the risks associated with construction sites. As such, those in management roles such as site managers and head of health and safety are the ones who primarily use this kind of software. They are responsible for overseeing the construction process, which includes assessing risks and other hazards to preserve the well-being of workers and keep the project running smoothly.

SafetyCulture can help address common construction risks such as poor project management, documentation errors, health and safety hazards, and change order management. The platform is designed to streamline communication and other vital information for construction operations, making it easier to assess potential risks and address them promptly.

The most urgent hazards associated with poor risk assessment processes in construction include disruptions in the building timeline, cost overruns, financial liabilities, and overall project integrity. 

Moreover, inadequate construction risk assessment endangers the well-being of workers and other stakeholders on-site, which could lead to serious accidents. 

Using a digital platform can significantly improve how construction risk assessment is conducted by providing tools that enhance overall project safety. It helps facilitate better collaboration among stakeholders, while also providing other features such as advanced data analytics and system integrations. This decreases the likelihood of unforeseen incidents and strengthens the protection of worker well-being. 

Technology makes it easier to create a safer work environment because of the features it offers. Using technology offers advanced monitoring systems and innovative ways to monitor worker activity to reduce the risk of accidents and injury, and allows for remote communication. 

Furthermore, technology makes it easier to conduct training sessions and delegate instructions to help workers understand the importance of safety and what best practices to follow.
