Site Safe has announced the rebrand of Site Safe Reviews to SiteRight — an enhanced take on site reviews.
SiteRight is designed to provide businesses with the assurance that the right health and safety practices are in place.
SiteRight reviews, which some clients like to refer to as audits, will continue to be delivered by expert safety advisors across New Zealand, and powered by the ecoPortal platform.
Site Safe worked with the industry to deliver improvements that best met their needs.
This includes providing clients with:
• their own online, user-friendly and personalised dashboard to find and manage all their review information,
• an improved set of review questions, and
• accurate and anonymous benchmarking of a business’s performance against similar projects and types of companies.
Safety Improvement reports are also included for follow-up and documenting close-out of corrective actions.
Users also benefit from a scoring structure which highlights any concerning observations relating to high-risk activities whilst, at the same time, knowing they will have been made safe whilst the auditor remains on-site.
SiteRight provides peace of mind when engaging with staff, contractors and management.
Completing a review not only measures level of compliance, but also provides evidence of due diligence and peace of mind that everything is working as it should.
Woolworth’s New Zealand has been receiving reviews for about seven years.
Head of construction Rob Jones says he was glad the advisors who were auditing safety were overseeing projects from a fresh set of eyes.
“I don’t want to hear just the good news, I want to hear the bad news. I have been seeing reports recently of a couple of jobs that have been coming in at 65% as opposed to 90%
“So I’m glad to see that when it is actually a low score, that way we can address it,” Jones says.
SiteRight was a useful tool, and having external reviewers viewing their live construction projects provided comfort to himself and the health and safety department, he says.
“The reports are very useful from my point of view, and Woolworths having the knowledge that we have all our construction projects reviewed monthly is certainly of comfort to me.”
It also helped Woolworths raise awareness of safety and to reach their goal of zero harm in the workplace, he says.
“They’ve got this external sort of independent audit happening on a monthly basis which I think it … just keeps [health and safety] front of mind for the live construction project and all those supervisors.”
