We’re excited to be making health and safety administration much easier for our clients by partnering with HazardCo, one of NZ’s leading H&S software platforms. Designed to be simple, accessible, and effective, the HazardCo system fits in very well here at Released!
Compliance with health and safety legislation is important. In the trades industry, the risk is much higher than it is for office jobs, and there are more rules to be followed, forms to be filled out, plans to be made, and registers to maintain. Using a digital tool like HazardCo can streamline the process, save time, and ensure that everyone on the team is kept up to date and aware of the safety measures in place.
With the right administration experts at the helm, navigating health and safety becomes even easier. Released clients will also receive a discount on HazardCo products.
Admin expertise + H&S horsepower
Released and HazardCo is a match made in heaven for trades business owners who want things running smoothly and safely, without Saturday nights spent poring over paperwork or writing SSSPs.
Our new partnership means that the Released team will be well-trained and ready to be the ‘Human-in-the-Loop’ for your health and safety systems, the same way we are for the many job management software platforms that our clients use. Tech tools can be huge time savers, but to work effectively they need the critical thinking and oversight of a human. We can be that person for your trades business, freeing up yourself and your team to focus on taking on more income-earning projects.
In our many decades of combined experience, we’ve found that a combination of human expertise and top digital tools creates the most efficiency for our clients. And if that reduces the number of hours we’re billing any given client, it’s a win-win: we can help more people, and they minimise their costs.
HazardCo does the heavy lifting
With an array of helpful capabilities and workflows, HazardCo makes H&S management significantly easier. Not only does this save you time, but it can boost your compliance and bring an array of associated benefits including:
Reducing very real risks of incident and injury onsite.
Reducing the risk of legal liability, with solid record-keeping to prove your due diligence.
Boosting morale by ensuring employees feel their health and safety is prioritised.
Saving the money that is often spent on mitigation when an incident does happen.
How does it do it?
There are many ways that HazardCo takes the busywork out of workplace safety. These are just three of our favourites!
Generating important documents
With templates and automations, plus some guided human input, HazardCo makes it simple to create site-specific safety plans, site reports, and other documents. You can also create forms for team members and contractors to fill out, send these with the click of a button, and have the inputs stored and readily available when needed.
Tracking your people
A crucial aspect of safety management is knowing where your people are and what they’re doing. The HazardCo mobile app means that workers can scan in and scan out, upload credentials, submit reports, and take care of those administrative details without bits of paper getting lost or uncertainty about communication channels.
Making incident reporting easy
Often, workers onsite are put off creating incident reports due to the process of it all: tracking down paper and pen, remembering the correct format, and determining where it should be sent or lodged. However, logging and tracking incidents is crucial to informed safety management and also to creating the paper trail that could save your bacon in a court of law.
The simple mobile app with guided forms takes the hassle out of incident reporting, making it accessible and easy to all workers.
HazardCo for Released clients
We’ve partnered with the wonderful team at HazardCo to offer our clients a 10% discount on the first year of their software subscription. That’s significant savings on a tool that will become an integral part of your operations.
In addition to this financial perk, Released + HazardCo users will have the software horsepower to keep their H&S management humming plus administrators who can:
Create those Site-Specific Safety Plans (SSSPs) using real knowledge and critical thinking, plus set up your projects in the HazardCo Hub so your documents are ready before the crew steps on site.
Oversee contractor & staff inductions, monitoring who’s scanned the QR code and follow up on missing certs so you don't have to chase people down.
Double-check your incident & risk management, making sure those digital paper trails are complete and stored safely in one place in case WorkSafe ever comes knocking.
Communicate with workers, contractors, and regulators where necessary, all in the language of tradies. We’re immersed in the industry and know the terms.
