Maugers Contracting Implement SiteConnect
For over 50 years, Maugers Contracting Ltd has been developing Canterbury, New Zealand. A third-generation family business based in Christchurch specializing in Subdivision, Earthmoving, Green-waste, Drainage, Roading, and Construction.
Project partners and clients include Fulton Hogan, Fletcher Living, City Care and Ngai Tahu Ltd. With a significant in-house fleet of yellow steel and over 40 staff, Maugers uses SiteConnect to meet and manage HSE requirements.
Successful
implementation of a digital safety system
The Maugers Contracting team is now reporting both negative and positive safety observations, which has been an integral part of the culture change. Before SiteConnect, these were not being recognised at all.
Because of SiteConnect’s success, Maugers Contracting can’t imagine going back to a non-digital process.
”Our operational sites are anything from one member on-site to all hands on deck. No day is the same in our field. SiteConnect has been an excellent health & safety program.
How Maugers Contracting got their teams excited about safety
Maugers contracting had the challenge that many businesses face. How to get the guys excited and engaged in a basic level of buy-in towards health & safety?
It was the Health & Safety Officer’s responsibility to follow up and make sure these processes were being completed. To do this effectively, they had to physically go to the site, often over an hour apart.
SiteConnect has given the workers instant access to reporting incidents, near misses, risk and safety observations and even access documents on-site, all from the mobile app. This has enabled them to be more involved in safety than ever before.
