HazNode® Safety · Manufacturing

One of WorkSafe’s four priority sectors.

Manufacturing sits alongside agriculture, forestry and construction in WorkSafe’s priority sectors, and has been the subject of a national assessment focus. Plant, substances and a workforce that changes shift — the obligations are broad and the record has to keep up with all of it.

What it does

Plant, substances and the record between them

A workshop or plant generates obligations in three directions at once. Keeping any one current is manageable; keeping all three current by hand is what fails.

Plant and machine inspections

A checklist per machine, drafted for you

Describe the machine and its checks and HazNode® drafts the template. Records are held against the asset, so a guard, a fault or a repeated finding on one press is visible in that machine’s own history rather than across a year of forms.

What you get

AI-drafted checklists per machine or line
Records held against the asset
Photos attached to the finding
Repeat findings visible in the history

A substance register you do not type

Solvents, coatings, gases, lubricants

A workshop accumulates substances faster than anyone updates the register. Upload the safety data sheet and the classification and handling detail are read off it, so adding a new product is a review rather than an afternoon of retyping.

What you get

Details extracted from the uploaded SDS
Substances held by area and store
Quantities against thresholds
Ageing sheets visible in the register

Incidents across shifts

One record, whoever was on

A report started on night shift is the same record the day supervisor picks up. Notifiability is prompted at the point of reporting, and the investigation and its corrective actions stay attached to the incident they belong to.

What you get

Report from the floor in minutes
Notifiability prompted and recorded
Structured investigation with evidence
Corrective actions tracked to completion

Sound Familiar?

Sound familiar?

The substance register lists products you stopped using two years ago.

Machine checks are on clipboards that get filed and never read.

Something reported on night shift is a different story by Monday.

Safety data sheets are in a folder nobody has opened since it was assembled.

A repeat fault on one machine is obvious only to the person who keeps fixing it.

Preparing for an assessment means a week of assembling paperwork.

What changes

Three registers that stay current at once

The failure in a plant is rarely one big gap. It is three records each slightly out of date, and no time to bring them all back.

The substance register keeps up

Adding a product is minutes, so the register reflects what is actually in the store.

Repeat faults become visible

Structured records against the asset mean the same finding recurring on one machine shows up in the history.

Continuity across shifts

One record per incident, whoever started it, so nothing is retold differently on Monday.

Assessment-ready without a scramble

Inspections, incidents and substances retrievable in minutes instead of reconstructed.

Bring a safety data sheet and a machine check

We will run both in front of you — the sheet read automatically, the checklist drafted — so you can judge it on your own paperwork.
