For UK Construction SMEs
Health and safety software for construction
Featherstone Safety Hub helps UK construction firms and trades manage high-risk work in one place. Build risk assessments, issue permits to work for hot work, confined space and working at height, manage contractors and RAMS, track training including asbestos awareness, and log incidents, all from the office or the site.
Built by NEBOSH-qualified practitioners, from £29 per month, with a 14-day free trial and no long-term contract.
Built for high-risk work
Construction consistently accounts for a large share of serious and fatal workplace injuries in the UK, with falls from height, asbestos, and contact with plant and electricity among the leading causes. Managing these risks properly, and being able to prove you did, is essential both legally and commercially, since principal contractors and clients increasingly demand evidence before awarding work.
Featherstone Safety Hub gives construction SMEs the structure to manage these risks without enterprise software costs, covering the assessments, permits, training and records the work demands.
- Risk assessments and method statements: build and maintain assessments for site activities and high-risk tasks.
- Permit to work: manage hot work, confined space, electrical isolation and working at height permits with a full approval workflow.
- Contractor management: pre-qualify contractors and track insurance, RAMS and induction status.
- Training matrix: track asbestos awareness, working at height, manual handling and more, with overdue alerts.
- Incident register: record accidents, near misses and dangerous occurrences with built-in RIDDOR screening.
Permits and working at height under control
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require all work at height to be properly planned, supervised and carried out by competent people, and high-risk tasks benefit from a formal permit to work system. Featherstone Safety Hub's Permit to Work add-on provides that formal control, ensuring tasks are authorised and the right precautions are confirmed before work starts, with a permanent, auditable record.
Combined with risk assessments and training tracking, this gives you a defensible system for managing the activities that carry the greatest risk on site.
Win and keep work with strong records
On construction projects, your health and safety records are not just a legal duty; they are often a condition of being awarded and keeping work. Principal contractors and clients want to see current risk assessments, method statements, training records and insurance before and during a project.
Keeping all of this organised in one system means you can respond to a pre-qualification request or a client audit quickly and professionally, rather than scrambling to assemble paperwork. Because the platform works offline, site teams can keep records current even where there is no signal.
