BUILT FOR CONSTRUCTION

Why Onos EHSQ Is Built for Construction

Construction environments are complex, fast-moving, and high-risk. Multiple contractors. Constant change. Tight margins. Increasing regulatory pressure.

Onos was built specifically to operate in this reality — not as a generic safety tool, but as a construction-ready EHSQ platform that works on site, in the office, and across the supply chain.

THE PROBLEM

The Reality of Construction EHSQ

Disconnected systems and spreadsheets

EHSQ data lives across emails, paper forms, Excel files, SharePoint folders, and legacy systems — making it impossible to see the full picture.

Too much admin, not enough action

Site teams spend valuable time filling out forms instead of managing risk. Data is captured, but rarely analysed or acted on.

Poor engagement from site teams

Complex systems, logins, and paperwork create friction — resulting in low participation, late reporting, and missed hazards.

Reactive safety management

Incidents are recorded after the fact. Near misses and early warning signals are missed. Learning happens too late.

Compliance pressure keeps increasing

RIDDOR, CDM 2015, ISO standards, client audits, ESG reporting — all demanding evidence, consistency, and traceability.

No real visibility for leadership

Senior teams struggle to trust the data or understand performance across sites, projects, and regions in real time.

THE SOLUTION

How Onos Solves These Challenges

One Platform for All Construction EHSQ

Onos brings Health, Safety, Environmental, and Quality into a single, integrated system:

  • Incidents & near misses
  • Safety observations
  • Audits & inspections (online and offline)
  • RAMS, COSHH & risk assessments
  • Permits to work
  • Training & competence
  • Supply chain compliance
  • Quality audits, NCRs & issues
  • Environmental & sustainability reporting

No duplication. No re-keying. One source of truth.

Built for the Site, Not Just the Office

Onos is mobile-first and site-ready:

  • Works on phones and tablets
  • Offline audits and inspections
  • QR codes for inductions, observations, RAMS and permits
  • Simple sign-in for subcontractors and visitors
  • Fast reporting from the point of work

This removes friction and dramatically increases participation.

Proactive Safety, Not Paper Compliance

Onos is designed to surface risk early, not just record incidents:

  • Safety observations and near misses captured in seconds
  • Real-time dashboards showing leading indicators
  • Automated actions and escalation workflows
  • Trend analysis across sites, projects, and contractors

This enables intervention before incidents happen.

Supply Chain & Subcontractor Control

Construction risk doesn't stop at your direct employees. Onos gives you visibility and control across your supply chain:

  • Supplier onboarding and qualification
  • RAMS submission, review and approval
  • Training and competence tracking
  • Permit requests and evidence capture
  • Performance scoring and risk profiling

All fully auditable and centrally managed.

Audit-Ready by Default

Whether it's internal audits, client reviews, or regulator inspections, Onos keeps you ready:

  • Full audit trails on every record
  • Evidence attached at source (photos, documents, signatures)
  • Automated notifications and overdue tracking
  • Branded, exportable reports

No last-minute scrambling. No missing evidence.
