Construction safety consulting that keeps work controlled.

Connect appointments, safety files, contractors, inspections, meetings, and daily site decisions through registered construction safety expertise.

Discuss your project

Construction risk changes as the site changes.

Excavations become structures, trades overlap, access routes move, temporary works are altered, and new contractors arrive. Control has to follow the project, not remain fixed in the original file.

Plan the interfaces.

Clarify who controls each stage, how contractors interact, where high-risk work overlaps, and what must be ready before work begins.

Coordinate the contractors.

Connect appointments, competencies, inductions, methods, permits, supervision, and communication across the site.

Keep control visible.

Use inspections, meetings, observations, records, and corrective actions to show what is happening and what needs attention.

One site. Many duty holders.

Construction safety works when the client, design team, principal contractor, contractors, supervisors, and workers understand what they own and how their decisions affect others.

Client and project leadership
Appointments, project information, resources, expectations, monitoring, and escalation create the conditions for effective control.
Design and planning
Buildability, sequencing, temporary works, access, plant, public interfaces, and foreseeable risks are addressed before they reach site.
Principal contractor
The site system coordinates plans, inductions, permits, inspections, meetings, contractor performance, and corrective action.
Contractors and supervisors
Task planning, competent people, equipment, methods, briefings, supervision, and day-to-day decisions keep controls active.

Control from appointment to handover.

Support can begin before mobilisation and continue through the changing phases of construction, close-out, and the evidence required at project completion.

Plan

Clarify responsibilities, project risks, required appointments, specifications, documentation, resources, and monitoring arrangements.

Mobilise

Prepare the site system, review contractor information, complete inductions, confirm competencies, and check readiness.

Build

Support inspections, audits, meetings, toolbox talks, permits, incidents, corrective actions, and changing site conditions.

Close

Track outstanding actions, organise records, support handover, and capture lessons that should carry into future work.

Start with the project stage.

The scope can support one urgent site issue, a specific appointment, or the broader health and safety requirements of the project.

Talk through the project

Client and pre-construction support

Project risk information, specifications, appointments, contractor expectations, procurement input, and monitoring arrangements.

Safety files and site systems

Site-specific plans, procedures, registers, permits, records, responsibilities, and practical implementation routines.

Inspections and audits

Workplace inspections, contractor reviews, compliance audits, findings, corrective actions, and management reporting.

Meetings and workforce engagement

Site meetings, toolbox talks, briefings, inductions, incident reviews, supervisor support, and consultation with the people doing the work.

Before work begins.

Confirm the project stage, parties appointed, planned work, site conditions, contractor profile, current documentation, and the decisions support must enable.

Can SMG prepare a site-specific safety file?

Yes. The file should reflect the project, planned activities, appointments, responsibilities, methods, risks, controls, and records the site will actually maintain.

Can you support the project on site?

Yes. Support can include implementation, inspections, audits, meetings, toolbox talks, contractor coordination, incidents, corrective actions, and management reporting.

Do you work for clients or contractors?

SMG can support different project duty holders, provided the appointment, responsibilities, independence, and scope are clearly defined.

Can you review an existing contractor system?

Yes. A focused review can compare the documents with actual site conditions, identify gaps, and prioritise the actions needed to restore practical control.

What must be under control before work continues?

Tell us about the project stage, contractors, site conditions, and the support you need. We’ll help define a practical scope.
