Innovative Health & Safety System Designed for the UK Construction Industry

HazardCo, a leading digital platform for health and safety, has officially launched in the UK, bringing a much-needed solution to builders across the country. Trusted by over 10,000 businesses and more than 150,000 users globally, HazardCo simplifies health and safety processes, offering an intuitive and accessible system that caters to builders of all sizes. As the UK construction industry continues to face challenges in managing safety on sites, HazardCo’s digital solution offers a much-needed answer to ensure builders meet safety regulations effortlessly.

Tailored for the UK Market

With extensive experience in New Zealand and Australia, HazardCo is now bringing its proven platform to the UK. The system has been customised by local health and safety professionals to ensure it meets the specific needs of the UK construction industry. Supported by a dedicated UK team, HazardCo aims to provide comprehensive local support to help businesses make the most of the system’s capabilities.

Iain Dixon, CEO of HazardCo, stated: “Our mission is simple – to help builders focus on what matters most: making sure every worker returns home safely. Our system has made a significant impact in other regions, and we’re thrilled to bring that same approach to the UK. We understand that builders are busy, and they need a simple solution that integrates seamlessly into their daily operations.”

Streamlined Safety with a Digital Touch

HazardCo’s platform enables builders to manage on-site safety with ease, offering digital tools that simplify complex processes. Key features include access to the HazardCo Hub, which allows users to quickly generate site-specific safety documents such as Construction Phase Plans. These documents can be produced in minutes, reducing the time spent on administrative tasks and giving builders more time to focus on their projects.

Additionally, the system includes a QR-coded Hazard Board for each site, guiding workers through an easy-to-follow digital induction process. Workers can simply scan the QR code upon entry, and they’ll be prompted to complete an induction and review necessary safety information. This not only ensures compliance but also helps improve safety awareness across teams. Builders can quickly complete vital safety documents such as RAMS (Risk Assessment Method Statements) and risk assessments with the platform’s intuitive mobile app. These tools make it easy for builders to stay on top of their safety obligations, even when they’re on the move.

A Perfect Timing for UK Builders

This launch comes at a pivotal moment for the UK construction industry, as the Building Safety Act continues to reshape the landscape of health and safety. With this new legislation, builders are under increased pressure to meet higher safety standards, and HazardCo’s user-friendly system is here to help.

The growing adoption of digital tools in construction is accelerating, and HazardCo’s arrival couldn’t be more timely. As more builders move towards software solutions to improve project management both on-site and in the office, HazardCo’s digital health and safety system will streamline processes, ensuring compliance with regulations while safeguarding teams. As the construction industry continues to evolve, embracing digital tools like HazardCo will be key in driving efficiency and improving safety outcomes.

“We understand the unique challenges faced by builders in the UK and are proud to offer a solution that simplifies health and safety management,” said Sam Eden, Business Development Manager at HazardCo. Our system removes the uncertainty from compliance, enabling builders to efficiently manage safety obligations and keep their teams fully protected.”
