FCANZ welcomed Krystal Sidon, SiteWise Coordinator, to present a Business Staples Webinar on the foundations of prequalification, in April.
Visit the FCANZ Member hub to watch the webinar about SiteWise prequalification and learn how it could benefit your business.
SiteWise is a prequalification platform that assesses and grades health and safety systems. It is the largest provider of prequalification nationwide.
SiteWise is designed to help you when you are tendering for contract work. It means that instead of collating your health and safety information for each tender you complete, you do it once a year in SiteWise. this will save you both time and money.
As a subcontractor (Level 3 user) in SiteWise you will be able to:
- Obtain a snapshot of your health and safety system performance
- Save time by creating just the one health and safety document for tendering
- Receive feedback from professional health and safety advisors
- Use SiteWise as a framework for improvement in health and safety performance
- Access free tools and resources to support you through the prequalification process
How does SiteWise work?
Most businesses join SiteWise because a main contractor or other principal organisation has asked them to prequalify their health and safety practices through the SiteWise system, but it can be a good idea to join up before being asked.
Businesses (contractors or subcontractors) wishing to be considered for tenders complete an annual assessment on their health and safety systems, including:
- Valid Business Insurance/s
- Accident/incident reporting and investigation
- Hazard Management
- Training
- Employee and subcontractor engagement
- Health monitoring and performance
The assessments are assessed by Site Safe’s qualified health and safety professionals. Your assessment results are graded (gold, green, amber, red) and a detailed report is provided privately to you and the principal/main contractor, along with suggestions for improvement if required.
The results are published in the database, viewed by principals and main contractors including farming, residential and commercial building companies, councils and other organisations nationwide who use the SiteWise prequalification as a tool to assist with their procurement process.
