Introducing HazardCo Workplace Safety Project: Your New Digital Tool for Workplace Safety
Feb 24, 2026
Managing health and safety across your workplace just got simpler. We’re excited to introduce Workplace Safety Projects – a new tool that helps you keep on top of your health and safety management system.
What’s a Workplace Safety Project?
A Workplace Safety Project is a health and safety management system set up for your workplace using HazardCo’s platform. When you create one, you get a comprehensive Safety Plan document, digital QR codes for easy worker and contractor inductions via the app, and streamlined compliance with visibility of all your workplace activity.
What You Get
When you set up a Workplace Safety Project, you’ll receive:
Complete Digital Safety Plan – A full workplace safety document customised to your operation that includes:
- Roles and responsibilities for managers, workers, contractors, and visitors
- Workplace rules and PPE requirements specific to your operation
- Hazard identification and risk management processes
- Emergency response procedures tailored to your workplace
- Training and competency requirements
- Contractor and visitor management processes
- Environmental and biosecurity measures (essential for agricultural and horticultural operations)
QR Code for Quick Access – Download and display it at your entry points so people can:
- Complete their induction before they start work via the HazardCo app
- Scan in and out to track who’s on the workplace
- Access your Safety Plan anytime from their phone
Once set up, your Workplace Safety Project becomes your central health and safety management system. Workers and contractors complete their induction by scanning your QR code through the HazardCo app, confirming they’ve read and understood your Safety Plan before they start work.
Who’s This For and Why You Need a Workplace Safety Project
When you’re running a business, you need to provide and maintain a safe system of work – it’s in the legislation. Even though it may feel like you and your team know the work well, your work will most likely still be classed as high-risk as when things go wrong, it can be pretty major.
Workplace Safety Projects are designed for businesses in manufacturing, agriculture, and horticulture. They help you manage workers, contractors, and visitors safely, meet your health and safety obligations, and keep complete documented records that meet WorkSafe NZ requirements. It’s not just about ticking boxes – it’s about having clear processes that protect your workers, contractors, and visitors every day.
Whether you’re running a processing plant, a dairy farm, an orchard, a packhouse, or a manufacturing facility, your Workplace Safety Project adapts to your specific operation and risks.
How Do You Get Started?
Setting up your Workplace Safety Project is straightforward:
- Log into your HazardCo Hub
- Go to the Projects menu
- Select Workplace Safety Project and follow the prompts to customise it for your workplace
- For assistance, check out our Help Centre for step-by-step guides.
The best part? Workplace Safety Projects are included in your membership. You can set up as many as you need for different workplaces or operations at no extra cost.
Once set up, workers and contractors can complete their induction by scanning your QR code through the HazardCo app, confirming they’ve read and understood your Safety Plan before they start work.
Want to Add Physical Items?
At the end of creating your project, you’ll have the option to purchase items such as Hazard Boards, Emergency Boxes, and H&S Packs.
New Improved Hazard Boards – Our hazard boards now come with a dedicated space for your QR code. When ordered with a Workplace Safety Project, your contact details and emergency information will be printed and attached to the board, along with refreshed hazards and controls. The boards are now slightly larger at 600mm x 590mm, giving you more space to display important safety information clearly.
These are optional extras that many customers find helpful for making safety information visible and accessible across their workplaces. Choose what works best for your operation – or skip them entirely if you prefer to keep everything digital.
