HammerTech

Uses our forms and templates, creates a huge productivity dividend by having our safety supervisor on site more (instead in office completing forms), The real time notice and assignment of safety issues to a responsible person, data reporting, Site Managers (and myself as the OHSA Manager) can monitor everything on site that is safety related at just a few clicks of a mouse, I can also compare team and contractor performance. We are getting better contractor data now, very helpful for me in calculating more accurate incident frequency rates and a bonus for our contract admin team in assessing financial v productivity performance of a contractor. I have assessed and reviewed many of these types of platforms and HammerTech is the ONLY one that ticked ALL of the boxes i needed. Their customer support is fantastic too and they are very keen to better their product and tailor it to their clients' needs.

HammerTech has an overall good fit for the construction industry.
HammerTech presents as a 'partner' in our commercial arrangement opposed to a 'fee for service' supplier.
This is amplified by the fact that the owners and senior staff have hands-on construction industry experience and understand the challenges of maintaining internal and external compliance requirements that present as a part of the construction industry.

Some aspects that could be redesigned to better suit construction businesses in today's environment are the;
- the recording and management of regulator notices,
- the issue an receipt of CARs,
- the recording and management of incidents.
The system as it stands does have functionality in these areas however recent internal reviews and external audits have highlighted opportunities for improvement to our systems in these areas.
We are currently in positive discussions with HammerTech to facilitate these revisions on our behalf.

What I like most about this software is the ability to utilize a complete range of Safety management tools from one accessible platform that the entire construction team.

I have not found anything I am displeased with so far. If the user is willing to engage with the software and learn it's capabilities it can be beneficial for any construction team application.

Its totally customisable to the company. This means you can be compliant but streamlined in your approach.

It's lack of integration with document management and other software, sure you can use it for multiple aspect but it's key focus is compliance and safety
