Construction & Infrastructure Industry

Risk Management Software for Construction

Construction projects carry some of the highest operational risk of any industry — from fatal falls and crane operations to subcontractor quality failures and environmental compliance obligations.

Core Risk Use Cases

Built for How Your Industry Actually Works

HIRA & Baseline Risk Assessment

Every active construction site needs a live HIRA that reflects current conditions — not a document updated quarterly.

  • Site safety officers log hazards from mobile devices, assign 5×5 risk scores, and link preventive controls in real time.
  • Falls from height, struck-by incidents, electrical contact, and plant hazards are categorised automatically from incident data.

Compliance & Site Obligation Tracking

Construction projects carry overlapping compliance obligations — OHS Act appointments, Construction Regulations milestones, and project HSE plan commitments — all with deadlines and evidence requirements.

  • Dimeri's Risk Governance module maps every obligation to an owner, tracks evidence, and sends reminders before deadlines are missed.
  • Non-compliances from inspections link directly to the risk register and are tracked through corrective action to closure.

Contractor Risk Management System

Principal contractors carry liability for every subcontractor on site — each with its own safety performance history and compliance obligations.

  • Dimeri creates risk profiles for every subcontractor, capturing pre-qualification status, insurance currency, and incident rates.
  • When a subcontractor's record deteriorates or insurance lapses, risk scores update automatically and the contract manager is notified.

Incident Tracking & Compliance

Construction sites carry environmental obligations — stormwater controls, contamination prevention, noise limits, and waste disposal — all subject to regulatory breach risk.

  • Environmental permit breaches can trigger project suspension and financial penalties.
  • Dimeri maps every obligation to a responsible party, tracks monitoring results, and flags emerging breaches before they become reportable events.

AI analysis of the last 90 days of incident reports identifies scaffolding at Level 4 and the Zone C excavation as the two highest-residual-risk areas on site. Three of five subcontractor teams operating in these zones have open PPE compliance findings. Recommend immediate control review before the planned concrete pour on Day 14.

Control & Incident Tracking

Three Lines of Defence — Tracked and Tested

Every risk in your register links to preventive, detective, and corrective controls. Effectiveness percentages update as evidence is logged. Full audit trail for regulators.

Preventive

Daily Toolbox Talks & Pre-Task Briefings

Structured pre-task risk briefings for all crews before high-risk activities. Attendance logged digitally against each worker's profile and linked to the site risk register.

Effectiveness: 91%
Detective

Site Safety Inspection Programme

Weekly HSE inspections across all active work zones. Findings captured on mobile, automatically scored by severity, and linked to the relevant risk register entry for follow-up.

Effectiveness: 84%
Corrective

Incident Investigation & CAPA Tracking

Root cause analysis workflow triggered by any recordable incident. Corrective and preventive actions assigned to responsible parties with due dates tracked to closure.

Effectiveness: 78%

Why Spreadsheets Fail in This Industry

Spreadsheets cannot handle the complexity, volume, and real-time demands of modern industrial risk management. Here is where they consistently break down — and what Dimeri does instead.

Spreadsheet ProblemDimeri Solution
Risk registers become outdated as site conditions change daily
Live risk register updated by site teams from mobile devices in real time
Compliance obligations tracked in separate documents, no deadline visibility
Every obligation mapped to an owner with deadline tracking and evidence stored in one system
Subcontractor safety records managed in separate spreadsheets per contract
Centralised subcontractor risk profiles with performance scoring and alert triggers
Incident reports disconnected from the risk register and control effectiveness
Incident data feeds AI analysis to update risk scores and identify control gaps
No audit trail when regulators request documentation at short notice
Full timestamped audit trail for every risk, control, and safety action on the platform
