How Copilot & HSE Apps Are Revolutionising Construction Site Safety: Real-World Use Cases

In the high-risk world of construction, health and safety are more than just compliance requirements—they’re essential to daily operations and worker wellbeing. With the continued evolution of digital tools, we are excited to announce the launch of a groundbreaking new feature in our Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) solution: the HSE Agent, powered by Microsoft Copilot. 

Real-World Scenario: Streamlining Safety on a Large-Scale Construction Project

A multinational construction firm was overseeing a major infrastructure project involving hundreds of on-site workers, heavy equipment, and complex logistics. Despite having traditional safety procedures, they faced challenges such as: 

  • Delayed incident reporting 
  • Missed safety inspections 
  • Inconsistent communication between field staff and safety officers 
  • Lack of real-time analytics on near-miss trends 

Solution: The HSE App + HSE Agent = Smarter, Faster Safety Management

To address these pain points, the firm adopted a two-pronged tech approach: 

Custom HSE App

Our Health & Safety App, Now Smarter Than Ever

The HSE app has already been transforming how construction companies manage: 

  • Incident Logging: Instantly record accidents and near-misses via mobile 
  • Crane and Equipment Checks: Digitally track inspections and schedule auto-reminders 
  • Daily Audits: Conduct site inspections with digital checklists 
  • PPE Compliance: Monitor and document personal protective equipment usage 
  • Multi-language Support: Communicate safety clearly across diverse teams 

Health & Safety App for Construction Sites

Our advanced Health & Safety app is designed to streamline workplace safety management, improve compliance, and empower employees on construction sites. It combines essential safety features with intelligent AI integration for a smarter, more proactive approach to safety. 

Core Features: 

To support construction teams in their mission to maintain a safe worksite, our cutting-edge health and safety app offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed specifically for the construction industry: 

  • Incident Tracking: Efficiently log and manage workplace incidents with timely reporting and follow-up actions to maintain safety standards. 
  • Near Miss Record Tracking: Record near-miss events to analyse trends, improve protocols, and prevent future accidents. 
  • Regular Crane Inspection: Schedule and document routine crane checks to ensure all equipment remains in top working condition. 
  • Safety Manual: Access a comprehensive construction site safety manual with guidelines on equipment use, hazard identification, emergency procedures, PPE requirements, and more, regularly updated for ongoing compliance and training. 

AI-Enhanced Capabilities:

The intended uses of the Factory Safety Agent in Copilot Studio are: 

  • Safety-Related Queries: Employees can ask questions related to safety procedures. The AI agent responds using the organisation’s internal documents and public resources, ensuring accurate, tailored answers. 
  • Incident Reporting Assistance: The AI agent helps users report incidents by guiding them through the process, summarising events, and drafting communication for stakeholders. 
  • Digital Safety Inspections: Handwritten inspection notes are instantly converted into digital summaries using Azure Cognitive Search, simplifying documentation and sharing. 
  • Employee Training Support: The agent reviews health and safety documents to generate training quizzes, helping teams stay educated and compliant. 

Why Safety Teams Love the HSE Agent

  • Faster Response Times: Reduce delays with instant access to safety knowledge. 
  • Standardization Across Sites: Ensure every team follows the same best practices. 
  • Real-Time Visibility: View incidents, trends, and compliance dashboards in real time. 
  • Stronger Collaboration: Seamlessly share safety checklists, updates, and manuals. 
  • Less Paperwork: Spend more time on-site and less time behind a desk.
