About HammerTech
The construction safety and site-workforce platform that started on Melbourne sites in 2013.
HammerTech was founded in 2013 in Melbourne by Ben Leach, a former project engineer who was tired of running site safety on paper, spreadsheets and a fileshare. The product is built around three pillars: Mobilize for subcontractor pre-qualification, worker orientations, job hazard analyses, safety data sheets and project safety plans; Coordinate for permits to work, pre-task plans, safety meetings, equipment bookings and bulletins; and Report for daily reports, inspections, observations, incidents and site access. The platform runs across Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland, with customers including DPR Construction, PCL Construction, Shawmut, Holder, Gilbane and John Paul Construction.
The data shape is the part most general contractors do not see until they try to report on it across more than a handful of projects. Inductions and certifications sit on the worker record, but the worker is also tied to a contractor, a project, a site and a sign-on event for any given day. Permits to work link back to the inspection regime and the equipment they cover. Incidents link to corrective actions, to the people involved, to the contractor and to hours-worked counters that drive your TRIR and LTIFR. Pulled into a warehouse next to your project schedule, your contractor master and your finance system, the HammerTech record finally answers questions a single project view does not: incident rate per contractor across the portfolio, inspection compliance per site against schedule milestones, plant downtime joined to the planned activities for that week, or pre-qual status checked before a worker is allowed to sign on.
