SafekeepFounder
Mar. 2021 - Apr. 2023Auckland, New ZealandSafekeep is a digital health and safety system and suite of proprietary technology. A few years back a family member nearly died during an incident on-site that would have been prevented if the business had better systems in place. All of the existing H&S systems available weren't designed with site workers in mind and had convoluted menus and unnecessary jargon. I decided to build a digital health and safety system with all the functions HSEQ professionals require and the most intuitive UX design for field workers with below average written language skills. Site Safety software designed to meet the requirements of various contractor Pre-Qual schemes and the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. 40+ functions make this one of the most flexible and capable site software systems developed for New Zealand businesses. More than a Health and Safety software system, Safekeep is also a complete Vehicle, Machinery and Equipment Maintenance software solution all-in-one. Unique integrations with NZTA data for road vehicles, address lookups for site locations and a Zapier integration that connects Safekeep with your project management and accounting software package. Unlimited flexibility in Health and Safety form creation and publishing. Choose from 70+ pre-configured Health and Safety forms (SSSP's, Hazard Registers, Toolbox meetings, SWMS and more). Use the Form Builder and Workflow Builder to create the perfect forms and ideal workflows for your New Zealand construction or maintenance business.
