Contractors Urged to Embrace Digital Site Safety Systems
The construction industry is being urged to accelerate the adoption of digital site safety systems following new findings that suggest many contractors are still relying on outdated paper-based processes. As highlighted in a recent Construction Enquirer article, this lack of digital infrastructure is hindering real-time safety monitoring, increasing admin workloads, and limiting visibility into workforce competency.
With the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) now placing a growing emphasis on proactive safety management and live data reporting, digitisation is no longer a luxury—it’s becoming a key part of modern construction compliance.

Why Digital Safety Systems Matter
Digital site safety systems allow contractors to:
• Track training records, RAMS, and inductions in real time
• Verify CSCS/CPCS/NPORS card status and expiry dates instantly
• Conduct mobile site audits, toolbox talks, and risk assessments
• Integrate incident reporting and close-call tracking into daily operations
This shift also supports compliance with CDM 2015, MHSWR 1999, and the Building Safety Act, helping to improve both operational efficiency and audit readiness.

The Link Between Competency and Digital Tracking
For companies using Quals Direct or similar systems to manage NVQ assessment portfolios, digitisation is already part of their compliance culture. However, integrating broader digital safety platforms across projects ensures that site managers and supervisors can:
• Monitor the status of ongoing NVQs
• Ensure qualifications are up to date
• Plan and prioritise refresher training or assessments
NVQs like the Level 6 in Site Management or Level 4 in Supervision embed understanding of site processes and risk management—key areas that benefit from digital tools.
