Featherstone Safety

For UK Facilities Management

Health and safety software for facilities management

Facilities management teams do their work on someone else's premises: maintenance engineers, cleaning and security teams, and the specialist contractors they bring in. Featherstone Safety Hub gives an FM provider one place to control that work and evidence it to clients: permits to work, contractor approval, training and competence records for a mobile workforce, COSHH for the products your teams use, and the incidents and checks your contracts require you to report.

Built by Thomas Featherstone TechIOSH, NEBOSH IGC-qualified and IOSH Managing Safely trained. Permits, contractor management and toolbox talks are in the Professional plan at £99 per month, with a 14-day free trial and no long-term contract.

Work on client sites is where the risk sits

An FM contract usually makes you responsible for how your people and your subcontractors work in a building you do not control: hot works near occupied areas, roof and plant-room access, isolations, confined spaces, out-of-hours lone working. The client expects you to have the paperwork before the work starts, and to produce it when something goes wrong.

Featherstone Safety Hub records each of those controls with the location it applies to, so you can show a client what was authorised, by whom and when, rather than searching through job sheets.

  • Permits to work: issue, authorise and close permits for hot work, confined spaces and work at height, with a full sign-off trail.
  • Contractor control: pre-qualify specialist contractors and track their insurance, RAMS and induction status before they attend site.
  • Risk assessments with locations: record lone working, access and task risk assessments against the site they cover, with review dates.
  • COSHH for soft services: assess the cleaning and maintenance products your teams carry, with safety data sheets kept on file.

A mobile workforce, one training record

FM engineers and operatives rarely sit in one office, and clients ask for proof of their training and tickets before they arrive. The training matrix holds each person's training and certificate expiry dates in one grid, with overdue alerts, so you can see who is in date for a job before you send them.

Toolbox talks let supervisors record briefings and attendance in the field, which also gives you a dated record for the client.

Evidence your clients ask for

Contract reviews and client audits ask the same questions: are your assessments current, are your people trained, what incidents have there been, are actions closed? The incident register with RIDDOR screening, the actions list and the monthly review give you dated, exportable answers, and the evidence library keeps certificates and inspection reports with expiry tracking.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions

Can I record which client site a record relates to?

Yes. Risk assessments, checks and other records carry a location, so you can record the site each one applies to. The Hub is a single workspace for your company rather than a separate workspace per client site.

Which plan suits an FM provider?

Most FM providers need the Professional plan at £99 per month, which adds permits to work, contractor management, toolbox talks, fire checks, DSE and environmental management to the core risk assessment, training and incident modules. Complete, at £179 per month, adds 40 awareness training courses.

Does it replace our CAFM system?

No. A CAFM system schedules planned maintenance and work orders. The Hub manages the health and safety around that work: permits, contractor approval, training, assessments, incidents and the evidence trail.

Can subcontractors be managed in it?

Yes. The contractor register tracks each contractor's insurance, RAMS and induction status, so you can check they are cleared before they attend a client site.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with no card required.
