Health & Safety Software for Trades

Built for a mobile team across many client sites

In short

Tradespeople work across a constant stream of client sites, often solo or in small crews, facing height, electrical, manual-handling and hazardous-substance risks that change job to job. A system for trades has to be mobile-first — a job-specific method statement, a site hazard check and an incident report, all from a phone — and ready for the prequalification clients increasingly ask for.

The health & safety challenge in trades

Trades work is mobile by nature — your team turns up to someone else's site, sizes up the risks, and gets on with it. Height, electrical work, manual handling and hazardous substances all vary by job. See health & safety for trades for the detail.

Frequently asked questions

What should a trades health and safety system handle?

A mobile team across client sites — job method statements, mobile site hazard checks, vehicle and tool checks, and the records prequalification asks for.

Should it produce a SWMS for each job?

Yes. It should generate a safe work method statement for each job quickly from reusable templates, rather than starting from scratch every time.

Should it work on client sites?

Yes. Your team should be able to induct in, run a quick hazard check on arrival, and report issues from the site on a phone — useful when the site isn't yours.

Should it help with prequalification?

Yes. It should keep the safety records and evidence that client prequalification schemes ask for, so you're ready when a client requires it.
