Hi James,

Thanks for sharing this! It’s always great to see discussions around H&S software and how different systems are working (or not) for teams in the field.

Since your client is already using BWARE, I’d love to better understand the UI issues they’re experiencing. Our goal is to make sure our platform is as user-friendly as possible—especially for teams on-site who need quick, efficient tools to manage H&S. Feedback like this directly helps us prioritize updates and refine features to ensure they work in real-world conditions.

If you’re open to it, I’d be happy to chat with your client or even set up a quick session with our product team to explore the challenges they’re facing. It could be something that’s already in the works, or something we can tweak in upcoming updates to make their experience smoother.

We’re always looking to improve, and direct user feedback is invaluable. Let me know if that’s something they’d be interested in—we’d love to help! helpdeskatbwaredotcodotnz

Chris Lambeth
BWARE Services Manager

Worksafe NZ have a 'Best practice guideline for working at height in New Zealand' which covers all the aspects of working at height as you mentioned. This is a downloadable PDF and can be found on the Worksafe NZ site by putting 'working at height' in the search function. Hopefully this will give you the outlines for what you are looking for. Chris Cox from NZ Safety Blackwoods Work Safe Training provides a course in Unit Standard 17600 that he delivers for managers etc.

I agree, of the 66 prosecutions to date 61 of those relate to training and competencies. I would have thought that within this there was some level of poor governance that had an influence?

I have been using Safety Manger (Bware.co.nz) for over 10 years now and have found it to be very good and is a NZ based system.
