Buildpass
Aussie safety platform with AI-generated SWMS, digital inductions, and incident tracking. Covers the full WHS stack, but the feature depth means a steeper learning curve, and pricing suits teams of 5+, not sole traders.

“Feature-rich AU safety platform and the AI SWMS generator saves real time. Needs 5+ staff across multiple sites to justify the cost though, smaller teams can get by with simpler tools.”

Overview
Buildpass is an Australian safety management platform purpose-built for the construction and trade industry. It covers the full safety lifecycle: SWMS creation (with AI-assisted generation), site inductions, toolbox talks, incident reporting, hazard management, and audit-ready compliance documentation.
What makes it useful for tradies: The AI SWMS generator is the headline feature, describe the job and Buildpass produces a compliant Safe Work Method Statement in minutes instead of hours. Site inductions can be completed digitally before workers arrive on-site. Everything is stored in the cloud, so when a safety inspector turns up, you're not scrambling through a ute full of paper.
Limitations to know about: The pricing is on the higher end for sole traders, this is really built for businesses with 5+ staff running multiple sites. The platform has a lot of features, which means a steeper learning curve than simpler SWMS-only tools.

View all →SafetyCulture
The go-to safety and inspection app in AU, digital SWMS, site inspections, incident reports. Free plan is usable. Does compliance paperwork well, but it's not a job management tool.
4.6/5 (220)
HazardCo
NZ-built safety platform covering SWMS, inductions, safety plans, and incident reporting. Well established in the AU/NZ trade space, though the interface feels a bit dated and paid tiers start at $119+/month.
4.6/5 (85)
SignOnSite
Digital site sign-in and induction platform, workers scan a QR code, site managers see who's on-site in real time. Does that one job well, but doesn't cover SWMS or incident reporting. You'll need another tool for the rest of your safety stack.
