Built for NZ Schools & Universities

Your school is a worksite.
Treat it like one.

Every tradie on your grounds, every induction signed on a clipboard, every contractor whose insurance you've never actually checked, SiteConnect fixes all of that. For good.

The clipboard era is a liability.

Most NZ schools are managing contractor health and safety compliance the same way they did in 1994. That worked fine until someone got hurt, and WorkSafe came knocking.

The Sign-In Sheet Nobody Reads

A paper induction pinned to the office noticeboard isn't a PCBU obligation met. It's a wishful thought.

Compliance risk

Contractors Wandering Without Induction

Maintenance workers, electricians, builders, on your site, around your students, without having signed a single thing.

Duty of care breach

No Evidence When WorkSafe Visits

"It's all in a folder somewhere." When an auditor arrives, "somewhere" is not a useful answer.

Audit failure

Asbestos Risk Going Unmanaged

Pre-2000 school buildings carry real asbestos risk. Without a register and contractor awareness, it's a silent and serious hazard.

Health & safety hazard

Expired Insurance Nobody Caught

That roofing contractor's public liability policy lapsed three months ago. You had no idea. Neither did they, honestly.

Financial exposure

Office Staff Managing H&S on Top of Everything

Your school administrator is remarkable. But manually chasing contractor certs is not the best use of their Friday.

Operational burden
How it works

Set up in a week. Runs itself after that.

SiteConnect does the heavy lifting so your team can focus on education, not administration.

Build your site profile

Add your school or campus locations, define zones (classrooms, construction areas, sports facilities), and load your hazard register, including asbestos locations if relevant.

Pre-qualify your contractors

Invite contractors to upload their licences, insurance certificates, and pre-qualification documents. SiteConnect alerts you before anything expires.

Run digital inductions

Workers complete a site-specific induction on their phone before they set foot on your grounds. Signed, timestamped, stored automatically.

Manage sign in and out

QR code check-in at your gate or office. Know exactly who is on site, when they arrived, and when they left, in real time.

Report incidents instantly

Staff report near-misses and incidents from their phone. You get a notification. WorkSafe gets notifiable events on time. No paperwork, no delay.

Built for education

Every feature. School-tested.

SiteConnect is not a construction tool with a new label. These features are built for how NZ schools and universities actually work.

Mobile Contractor Inductions

Contractors receive a link, complete their induction on any device, and cannot sign in until it is done. No printing, no chasing, no exceptions.

Works for tradespeople on your grounds

Expiry Alerts and Reminders

Automatic notifications when contractor insurance, licences, or competency certificates are about to lapse. No surprises, ever.

Insurance, NZQA certs, trade licences

Hazard and Asbestos Register

Document known hazards by location. Contractors are made aware before they start work. Asbestos management plans attach directly to affected zones.

Critical for pre-2000 NZ school buildings

Real-Time Site Presence

A live dashboard shows you every contractor and worker on your campus right now. Invaluable in an emergency evacuation situation.

Roll-call ready

Audit-Ready Records

Every induction, sign-in, incident report, and document is stored securely and accessible in seconds. WorkSafe asks, you deliver.

ERO and MoE audit confidence

Contractor Pre-Qualification

Set minimum standards, including insurance levels, trade licences and safety management plans, and let SiteConnect verify before anyone touches your site.

Approved supplier lists simplified

Incident and Near-Miss Reporting

Staff and contractors report incidents from their phones. Escalation workflows notify you instantly. WorkSafe-notifiable events are flagged automatically.

Section 56 HSWA notifications

Multi-Site Management

Run a cluster of schools or a multi-campus university? Manage all sites, all contractors, and all compliance from one central dashboard.

Ideal for kahui ako and polytechs
New Zealand legislation

You're a PCBU. Here's what that means.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, every NZ school and tertiary provider is a Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking, with real legal obligations to workers, contractors, and people on your premises.

HSWA 2015, Primary Duty of Care

As a PCBU, your school must ensure the health and safety of workers and others affected by your operations, including contractors working on site. SiteConnect documents every step of that duty.

Section 36, Health and Safety at Work Act 2015

Management of Work, Overlapping Duties

When a contractor brings their own workers onto your site, your PCBU duties overlap with theirs. You must consult, cooperate, and coordinate. SiteConnect's shared inductions and hazard registers make this seamless.

Section 34, HSWA 2015

Notifiable Events

Serious injuries, illnesses, or near-miss incidents must be reported to WorkSafe immediately. SiteConnect's incident reporting tool flags notifiable events and maintains a complete evidence trail.

Section 56, HSWA 2015

Asbestos Regulations 2016

Schools managing buildings that may contain asbestos must maintain an asbestos management plan and ensure all workers and contractors are made aware. SiteConnect attaches this to your site profile and contractor induction.
