HazNode® Safety · Owners & directors
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, an officer’s due diligence duty sits with the individual and cannot be handed to someone else. "I asked, and I was told it was under control" is not evidence of due diligence — a current record of what is actually happening is.
What it gives you
Most owners are not short of intent. They are short of a way to verify what they are being told, without becoming the person doing the work.
Current, not a monthly summary
Inspections completed, incidents reported and where they got to, hazards raised across every site — visible without someone preparing a report for you. What you are looking at is the record itself rather than a summary of it.
What you get
Inspections and their findings across sites
Incidents from report through to closure
Hazards and near misses as they are raised
The substance register as it actually stands
For the day it is examined
Due diligence is assessed on what you did and when. A timestamped record built as the work happened is a materially different thing from a folder assembled after an event, and it is the difference that gets examined.
What you get
Timestamped as the work happened
Full history retained, not overwritten
Retrievable by site, date or person
Exportable when it is asked for
Absence is the signal that matters
The useful question is rarely what was reported. It is which site has reported nothing for two months. A single record across the business makes that visible, where separate folders per site hide it completely.
What you get
Reporting activity visible per site
Repeat findings surfaced in the history
Incidents still open and how long for
Gaps as visible as activity
Sound Familiar?
You are told it is under control and have no way to check.
The reporting you see is a summary someone built for the meeting.
You could not evidence your own due diligence if you were asked tomorrow.
Each site does it differently, so nothing is comparable.
You find out about problems when they have already become expensive.
The person who knows where everything is kept could leave.
What changes
Officers are not expected to do the work. They are expected to know it is being done, and to be able to show how they knew.
A timestamped record of what was done, when, and by whom — rather than a recollection of having asked.
Hazards and near misses reach you as a record rather than as news after something has already gone wrong.
One system across the business, so you can see which site is quiet and ask why.
The record lives in the business rather than in the head of whoever currently runs safety.
The question worth answering is what you could produce if you were asked tomorrow. We will show you the view an owner gets, using a realistic setup.
