Frequently asked questions

What do I get as a HazardCo member?

The HazardCo system is a guided health and safety system. The system includes the HazardCo Hub for admin tasks like setting up safety plans, and the HazardCo App for creating safety documents on site, such as SWMS, Risk Assessments, Toolbox Meetings, and Site Reviews.

One of the biggest benefits of membership is access to our qualified advisory team. If you’re ever unsure about something, just give us a call and we’ll point you in the right direction. If an incident happens on site, from a near miss to a serious accident, we can guide you through the next steps and help you prevent it from happening again.

Do I need to be a health and safety expert?

Nope. HazardCo is a guided system built by qualified experts to make health and safety simple. It comes with ready-to-use tools and templates, straight out of the box. If legislation changes, we update the system for you.

The system guides you through identifying hazards, working safely on site, and completing documents correctly. And if you ever need extra help, our H&S advisors are just a phone call away, at no extra cost.

I’m a sole trader, is the HazardCo system right for me?

We usually say HazardCo is best suited to trade businesses with three or more employees, or those managing a team of contractors, because they tend to get the most value from the system.

That said, plenty of sole traders use HazardCo successfully. It’s less about business size and more about attitude. If you want the simplest way to manage safety and are committed to prioritising it in your business, HazardCo can be a great fit, no matter your size.

My building company only does a couple of builds a year, is HazardCo right for me?

As a general rule, HazardCo works best for building companies doing three or more builds per year, as they typically see the most value.

That said, it’s more about attitude than business size. If you want to manage safety in the simplest way possible, and you’re committed to safety and will priortise it in your business, then HazardCo can still be right for you.

We do 100+ builds a year, is HazardCo right for me?

Absolutely. HazardCo is designed for residential building companies of all sizes, and we have many members completing 100+ builds a year. In some cases, we can even provide additional support.

Give us a call to talk through the types of projects you do and your current health and safety processes, and we’ll let you know if HazardCo is a good fit.

Is HazardCo just for residential builders?

HazardCo is designed specifically for residential builders, rather than commercial projects. All content (including safety plans and policies, procedures) is written with Australian residential construction in mind.

Some commercial projects involve additional hazards and controls that aren’t included in the system off the shelf. It really depends on the type of commercial work you’re doing, so give us a call and we can let you know whether HazardCo will work for you.

Will my teams on site actually use the HazardCo system?

HazardCo is designed to be simple and practical. We genuinely believe it’s one of the easiest ways to meet your health and safety obligations and improve safety on site.

Our data shows that thousands of builders and trades actively use HazardCo and are safer because of it. 93% of HazardCo members agree HazardCo makes health and safety simple (2025 Customer Satisfaction Survey).

Having a system alone won’t make you safer, it has to be used consistently. Think of it like a gym membership: the equipment can be top-notch, but if you don’t use it, you won’t get any fitter.

If you’re committed to safety, willing to lead by example, and prepared to make health and safety part of everyone’s day-to-day work, the HazardCo system will be used on site, and it will make a difference.
