Your safety management is still on paper. Take-5s get filled in after the fact. Incident reports arrive days late. Induction forms sit in a filing cabinet nobody opens. Pre-starts get ticked and signed without anyone reading them. We build compliance and safety software that puts every form on a phone, captures data before work starts, and gives you a real-time view of safety across your operation.
Perth-based. Australia-wide. Fixed-price quotes after discovery. Connected to your HR system, job management, and compliance register.
Paper-based safety management creates liability. Forms go missing. Take-5s get filled in at the end of the day instead of before the task. Incident reports are written from memory days after the event. When an auditor asks for evidence that your induction process was followed on a specific date at a specific site, you are digging through filing cabinets hoping someone filed it.
HELLO PEOPLE builds custom compliance and safety software for Australian construction, mining, industrial, and field service businesses. Take-5s, pre-starts, incident reporting, site inductions, permit-to-work, and compliance dashboards. All digital, all on mobile, all captured in real time with GPS and timestamps.
This is not a generic checklist app. It is a compliance system built around your forms, your approval chains, your regulatory requirements, and your operational structure. Connected to your HR system, your job management, and your document management so safety data flows with the rest of your business.
Three stages. No surprises. Delivered personally by the founder.
Week 0
15-minute scoping call. We map your current setup, the gaps causing pain, and the path forward. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.
Weeks 1–N
New system built in a sandbox and parallel-run against your live operations. Every workflow, validation and integration verified before production.
Cutover
Production cutover on a planned window — typically a weekend. Team training, monitoring active, 30 days post-launch support. Documentation and source code handed over in full.
If your safety compliance depends on paper forms being filled in correctly and filed promptly, it is already broken.
Take-5 forms found blank in the smoko room. Pre-start checklists ticked in a batch at the end of the week. Incident reports written from memory three days later. Paper makes it easy to tick and forget, and impossible to prove the process was actually followed.
Management finds out about compliance gaps when something goes wrong or when the auditor arrives. Expired certifications, overdue inspections, incomplete inductions, and lapsed permits sit unnoticed until there is a consequence.
Safety records in filing cabinets, email attachments, shared drives, and desk drawers. When the regulator asks for six months of Take-5 records for a specific site, someone spends three days pulling it together and still cannot guarantee it is complete.
Take-5s, pre-starts, incident reporting, site inductions, permits, and compliance dashboards. Each module handles a different part of your safety management system.
Take-5s are the five hazard questions every worker answers before starting a task. Pre-start checks cover vehicles, plant, and equipment. Right now, these probably happen on paper, if they happen at all. A digital system puts them on a phone, GPS-stamps the location, time-stamps the entry, and links it to the worker and the job.
Supervisors see completed checks in real time. If a hazard is flagged, the system triggers a stop-work notification. No more finding a stack of blank Take-5 forms filled in at the end of the week.
Mobile app developmentWhen something goes wrong on site, the report needs to happen immediately, not back at the office two days later from memory. A digital incident reporting system lets workers submit incident reports, near-miss reports, and hazard observations from their phone with photos, GPS location, and witness details attached.
Corrective actions are assigned automatically. Investigation workflows track root cause analysis through to close-out. Management gets notified the moment a report is submitted, not when someone remembers to hand in the form.
Workflow automation softwareEvery contractor and visitor needs a site induction before they start work. Site-specific safety rules, emergency procedures, hazard areas, PPE requirements, and emergency contacts are all presented digitally with acknowledgement signatures captured on the device.
Competency verification checks licences, tickets, and certifications before granting access. Expired White Cards, lapsed working-at-heights tickets, or missing insurances get flagged before the person steps onto your site, not after an incident.
Timesheet softwarePermit-to-work systems manage high-risk activities: hot work, confined space entry, working at heights, excavation, and electrical isolation. Each permit type has its own checklist, risk assessment, and approval chain. Permits are issued digitally, with automatic expiry times and status tracking.
When a permit expires, the system flags it. Supervisors cannot miss a lapsed confined space permit or an overdue hot work sign-off. The entire permit history is stored. Who requested it, who approved it, what conditions were set, and when it closed.
Job management softwareA compliance dashboard gives management a single screen showing safety performance across the entire operation. Overdue inspections, expired certifications, open incidents, incomplete inductions, lapsed permits, and audit readiness scores. All visible without chasing people for updates.
Drill down by site, by contractor, by worker, or by compliance category. Set up automated alerts for items approaching expiry. When an auditor arrives, the data they need is already there, not scattered across filing cabinets and email inboxes.
Dashboard & reporting software
Compliance software is not about technology. It is about proving your people followed the process, catching problems before they become incidents, and being audit-ready at all times.
When a regulator or auditor asks to see your safety records, you should not need three days and a cardboard box. A digital compliance system stores every Take-5, every incident report, every induction, and every permit in a searchable database with timestamps, GPS locations, and worker IDs.
Pull up any record in seconds. Filter by date range, site, worker, or compliance category. Export reports for regulators. The audit trail is always there. It does not depend on someone filing paper correctly.
Paper-based safety management means printing forms, handing them out, collecting them, checking them, filing them, and hoping nothing gets lost between the site and the office. Most businesses know their paper system has gaps. They just have not had a practical way to fix it.
Digital forms on mobile devices mean workers fill in the right form at the right time, on site, before the work starts. Data goes straight to the system. No printing, no scanning, no filing, no lost forms.
Most businesses only find out about compliance gaps when something goes wrong or an auditor arrives. A real-time compliance dashboard shows you the state of safety across all your sites and workers today, not in last month's report.
Overdue inspections get flagged the day they are overdue, not three weeks later when someone notices. Expired certifications trigger alerts before the worker shows up on site. You manage compliance proactively instead of reactively.
When Take-5s actually get done before work starts, when pre-start checks catch equipment faults, when inductions are thorough, and when permits are properly managed, incidents go down. It is not complicated. Consistent process reduces risk.
Near-miss reporting increases too, because digital reporting is faster and easier than paper. More near-misses reported means more hazards caught before they become incidents. The data also shows patterns: recurring issues on certain sites, with certain equipment, or during certain activities.
If your business manages high-risk work, multiple sites, contractors, or regulatory obligations, and your current safety system involves paper, spreadsheets, or tools you have outgrown, custom compliance software makes sense.
Multi-trade sites with dozens of subcontractors. Site inductions, daily pre-starts, SWMS, Take-5s, permit-to-work, and incident reporting across projects that run for months.
Remote sites, fly-in fly-out rosters, high-risk work permits, fatigue management, vehicle pre-start checks, and compliance reporting for state regulators and mining inspectorates.
Permit-to-work systems for hot work, confined spaces, and isolations. Safety case compliance, management of change processes, and contractor safety management across multiple facilities.
Machine pre-start checks, lockout/tagout procedures, chemical handling registers, workplace inspections, and injury reporting. Compliance across shifts, lines, and plant areas.
Pre-trip vehicle inspections, driver fitness declarations, load compliance checks, fatigue management logs, and incident reporting for vehicles and drivers across your fleet.
Contractor inductions, visitor sign-in, building compliance inspections, fire safety checks, essential services maintenance records, and workplace health and safety audits.
We start with your current safety management system, design digital replacements for every form and workflow, and build in stages. Your core safety forms go live first while we layer on permits, dashboards, and integrations.
Every project is scoped and quoted individually. These ranges give you a starting point based on the complexity of your safety management requirements.
Digital Take-5 and pre-start checklists on mobile with offline support, GPS tagging, and supervisor dashboards. Fixed-price after scoping.
Complete compliance system with Take-5s, incident reporting, site inductions, permits, and real-time dashboards. Fixed-price after scoping.
Multi-site, multi-entity compliance with contractor management, regulatory reporting, and full ERP integration. Custom pricing.
Safety compliance works best when it talks to your HR, job management, document management, and reporting systems.
If you already use SafetyCulture for inspections, we can integrate or migrate. Pull existing templates, sync completed inspections, and consolidate reporting into a single compliance dashboard.
Worker records, certifications, training history, and employment details sync from your HR system. When a certification expires in HR, the compliance system flags it before the worker is assigned to site.
Link safety compliance to jobs. Take-5s attached to job numbers, pre-starts linked to equipment assignments, and permits tied to scheduled work. So compliance and operations stay connected.
SWMS, safety data sheets, procedures, and policies stored in SharePoint or your document system sync into the compliance platform. Workers access the latest version of every document from the mobile app.
Generate reports formatted for state regulators, SafeWork, and mining inspectorates. Notifiable incident reports, monthly compliance summaries, and annual safety statistics in the format your regulator expects.
Track White Cards, working-at-heights tickets, confined space tickets, first aid certificates, and trade licences. Automated alerts before expiry. Workers with expired certifications are blocked from being assigned to relevant work.
A Perth-based mining services company replaced paper-based safety inspections with a custom mobile app. Inspections that took 45 minutes on paper now take 18 minutes on a phone, fully offline, with GPS and photo evidence attached.
Read the full case studyWe were drowning in paper safety forms. Take-5s, pre-starts, incident reports, all in filing cabinets. When the auditor came, we spent three days pulling records together and still had gaps. HELLO PEOPLE built us a digital compliance system with a mobile app. Our last audit prep took three hours. Every form, every check, every incident, timestamped, GPS-tagged, and searchable.
We write the code, design the interface, deploy the systems, and support them long-term. No subcontracting, no offshore handoffs.
You get a clear price before we start. No hourly billing that spirals, no surprise invoices at the end of the month.
We understand BAS, super, award rates, Australian privacy law, and the tools local businesses actually use. Xero, MYOB, ServiceM8, Tradify.
You talk to the people building your software. No account managers, no project managers relaying messages, no ticket queues.
You own everything. The code, the data, the hosting. No lock-in. No proprietary platforms you cannot leave.
It depends on the scope. A straightforward Take-5 and incident reporting app for a small crew is different from a multi-site permit-to-work system with contractor management, integrations, and compliance dashboards. We offer a free initial consultation, then a paid discovery phase. After discovery, you get a fixed-price quote for the full project.
Yes. Take-5s, pre-start checks, incident reports, and other forms all work without internet. Data saves locally on the device and syncs when signal returns. This is critical for mining sites, rural construction, and underground work where mobile coverage is unreliable or non-existent.
It can. SafetyCulture works well for basic inspections and audits, but businesses often outgrow it when they need custom permit-to-work systems, deeper integration with HR and job management, contractor management workflows, or compliance dashboards tailored to their specific reporting obligations. We can also integrate with SafetyCulture if you want to keep using it for inspections while adding capabilities around it.
We take your existing paper forms and convert them into digital versions that work on phones and tablets. The logic, the fields, and the approval processes stay the same. Workers just fill them in on a screen instead of on paper. We handle the migration, train your team, and run both systems in parallel until everyone is comfortable.
Yes. The system is built around your forms, not generic templates. Take-5 formats, pre-start checklists, incident report structures, induction content, and permit types are all configured to match your existing processes and compliance requirements. New forms can be added as your needs change.
Yes. Common integrations include HR systems (Employment Hero, ELMO), job management tools, document management (SharePoint), accounting software, and government reporting portals. We also build custom integrations for industry-specific tools.
Every action is logged. Who submitted a form, when, where (GPS), what they entered, who approved it, and when. Records cannot be altered after submission without a tracked amendment. This gives you a complete, tamper-evident audit trail that satisfies regulators, auditors, and legal requirements.
Yes. We offer monthly support plans covering bug fixes, security updates, new form types, regulation changes, additional integrations, and system enhancements. Safety compliance requirements evolve, and your system needs to evolve with them.
