What HazardCo does

HazardCo Limited is a New Zealand-incorporated health and safety software company founded in 2006, operating through two legal entities: HazardCo Limited (NZ parent) and HazardCo Australia Pty Ltd. The company provides a cloud-based H&S management platform (HazardCo Hub) paired with iOS and Android mobile applications, designed primarily for the construction industry. Its modular architecture is organized around three workflow phases: Pre-Site (site-specific safety plan generation, contractor pre-qualification, insurance reminders), On-Site (QR-code site check-in/induction, SWMS submission, daily attendance tracking), and Oversight (real-time project/company-level compliance dashboards). The platform is built for non-expert users — builders, main contractors, and trade businesses (tradies) — and includes a content library of toolbox talks, checklists, RAMS templates, and incident reporting guides, along with native integrations to BuildXact, FieldPulse, Procore, and Simpro.

The product is offered through three regional websites (Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom) with locale-specific compliance modules, including UK Construction Phase Plans and RAMS aligned to the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, and Australian/NZ legislation-aligned content. HazardCo's contractor management tools are endorsed by CHASNZ (Construction Health & Safety New Zealand) and aligned with the Totika Standard. The company claims to be trusted by 10,000 businesses across Australia and New Zealand, with named customers including David Reid Homes, Refresh Renovations, GJG, DRH, and Samlock.

HazardCo operates a self-serve, product-led go-to-market model with free trial entry, online self-serve sign-up, and a 12-month minimum subscription paid monthly or annually in local currency (AUD/NZD/GBP). Revenue is generated primarily through recurring subscription fees, plus additional-project charges beyond a complimentary allocation per subscription period; UK operations also include a small hardware/physical product component. Customer acquisition is anchored in content marketing (SEO-driven blog, guides, checklist resources), a referral program, and ecosystem partnerships with construction management platforms. The company is privately held, founder-controlled (founder and director Gavin Karl), with CEO Iain Dixon and CFO (CXO) Matt Chatters, and no disclosed venture capital or institutional investment.

Revenue model

1. Subscription Fees (Software-as-a-Service): HazardCo generates revenue primarily through subscription fees charged to subscribers (builders, trade businesses, contractors) for access to its cloud-based health and safety platform. Subscriptions require a minimum 12-month commitment and can be paid monthly or annually. Pricing is in local currency (AUD for Australia, NZD for New Zealand, GBP for UK) and excludes applicable taxes. The subscription provides access to the HazardCo Hub web platform, mobile app, QR code functionality, and a complimentary project allocation per subscription period.
2. Additional Projects (Beyond Complimentary Allocation): Subscribers receive a complimentary project allocation per subscription period. Additional projects beyond this allocation are charged at published rates. This creates an upsell/land-and-expand revenue dynamic as subscribers' project volumes grow.
3. Product Sales: In the UK market, HazardCo also sells physical products alongside the subscription service. Product purchases are separate from subscription fees and are governed by additional terms.
