Construction Inspection Software

Schedule, conduct, and record safety inspections across all your construction sites. Raise corrective actions on the spot with photo evidence and real-time tracking, all from any device.

Digital Inspections That Drive Safety Standards

Effective site inspections are the backbone of construction safety management. Under CDM 2015, principal contractors carry an explicit duty to plan, manage, and monitor health and safety throughout every phase of a project. That responsibility demands a systematic approach to inspections, one that goes far beyond ticking boxes on a paper form. Site Safe Hub replaces clipboards and spreadsheets with a fully digital inspection system that ensures nothing is missed, every finding is recorded, and corrective actions are tracked through to completion.

Every inspection carried out within Site Safe Hub is timestamped, attributed to a named competent person, and stored against the relevant site record. This creates a continuous compliance trail that can be produced at a moment's notice for HSE visits, client audits, or SSIP assessments. Because the platform runs as a progressive web app, inspectors can complete their rounds on a phone or tablet while walking the site, capturing findings exactly where and when they occur rather than writing them up hours later back in the site office.

The result is a measurably higher standard of safety reporting. When findings are recorded in real time with photographic evidence, they carry more weight, prompt faster responses from contractors, and provide a far richer data set for trend analysis. Over time, your inspection records become a powerful tool for identifying recurring hazards, benchmarking site performance, and demonstrating to clients and regulators that your organisation takes its CDM obligations seriously.

Schedule Weekly Safety, Scaffold and Fire Inspections

Construction sites demand a range of inspection types, each governed by different regulations and frequencies. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require scaffold inspections at least every seven days and after any event likely to have affected stability, such as high winds or heavy loading. Fire safety inspections ensure that escape routes, alarm systems, and extinguisher locations remain fit for purpose throughout the build programme. Weekly safety walks cover general housekeeping, traffic management, edge protection, and welfare provision, giving supervisors a structured overview of the site's condition.

Site Safe Hub supports all of these inspection types and more. You can configure recurring inspection schedules so that scaffold checks, fire safety rounds, welfare audits, environmental inspections, and general housekeeping walks are automatically generated at the correct intervals. Each scheduled inspection appears on the site dashboard and is assigned to a responsible person, ensuring accountability and preventing inspections from slipping through the cracks during busy programme periods.

When an inspection is overdue, the platform flags it immediately in the dashboard and, where notifications are enabled, alerts the relevant team members. This proactive approach means that compliance gaps are identified before they become problems, rather than being discovered retroactively during an external audit or, worse, after an incident has occurred. For organisations managing multiple sites, the ability to view inspection status across the entire portfolio from a single dashboard provides invaluable oversight for health and safety directors and operational managers.

Corrective Actions with Photo Evidence and Follow-Up

Identifying a hazard is only the first step. What matters is what happens next. Site Safe Hub allows inspectors to raise corrective actions directly from within an inspection, linking each finding to a specific location, category, and severity rating. Photographs taken during the inspection are attached to the finding, providing an unambiguous visual record of the issue that leaves no room for misinterpretation when the responsible contractor reviews the action.

Each corrective action is assigned a priority level and a target completion date, then allocated to the contractor or individual responsible for resolving it. The assignee receives a notification and can update the status of the action as work progresses, including uploading close-out photographs to demonstrate that the issue has been rectified. This closed-loop workflow ensures that nothing raised during an inspection is forgotten or allowed to drift, and it gives site managers a clear view of outstanding actions at any time.

For organisations that need to report inspection metrics to clients, principal designers, or their own senior leadership, Site Safe Hub provides summary dashboards and exportable reports. You can see completion rates, average time to close-out, recurring finding categories, and site-by-site comparisons at a glance. These insights help safety teams move from reactive to proactive management, focusing resources on the areas and behaviours that represent the greatest risk. Over time, this data-driven approach leads to fewer findings per inspection, faster resolution times, and a demonstrably safer working environment for everyone on site.

Frequently Asked Questions

What inspections are required on a construction site?
Under CDM 2015 and associated regulations, construction sites require regular safety inspections covering scaffolding (every 7 days or after adverse weather), fire safety, welfare facilities, housekeeping, and environmental controls. Principal contractors must ensure these inspections are planned, carried out by competent persons, and recorded with any corrective actions tracked to completion. Site Safe Hub supports all common inspection types and allows you to create custom templates for specialist checks.
How often should safety inspections be carried out?
Weekly safety inspections are standard practice on most construction sites. Scaffold inspections must be carried out every 7 days under the Work at Height Regulations 2005. Fire safety checks are typically daily or weekly depending on the site risk profile. Welfare inspections should be conducted at least weekly, and environmental inspections align with the site's environmental management plan. Site Safe Hub lets you configure recurring schedules for each inspection type so nothing is missed.
What happens when an inspection finding is raised?
When an inspector identifies a non-conformance or hazard, a corrective action is raised within Site Safe Hub. The finding is categorised by severity, assigned to a responsible contractor or individual, given a target completion date, and tracked through to resolution. Photo evidence can be attached at both the identification and close-out stages to provide a full audit trail. The responsible party receives a notification and can update progress directly from their device.
Can inspections include photo evidence?
Yes. Site Safe Hub allows inspectors to capture and attach photographs directly during an inspection using their phone or tablet camera. Photos are timestamped and linked to specific findings, providing clear visual records for compliance audits, client reporting, and any subsequent HSE investigations. Close-out photos can also be attached when corrective actions are completed, creating a before-and-after record.
How do you track inspection completion rates?
Site Safe Hub provides a real-time compliance dashboard showing inspection completion rates across all sites and inspection types. You can filter by date range, site, inspector, or inspection category. Overdue inspections are flagged automatically, and summary reports can be exported to CSV for inclusion in CDM health and safety files or client reporting packs. This gives safety directors clear visibility over their entire portfolio.
