Strata Homes

Strata builds homes over a large geographic area, with multiple sites of all types, sizes, and specifications on the go at the same time. Historically, Strata used paper-based systems to manage health and safety checks, which took the safety team a long time to prepare and were less useful and dynamic.

The safety team also did not have full visibility of safety-related incidents that happened on site, making it difficult to track and identify trends, or make meaningful improvements that would address underlying issues. It was also a challenge to manage contractors effectively, resulting in inefficiencies that could hold up the build process.

Strata realised it needed to adopt a modernised way of working, and decided to put in place a digital health and safety management system. Having one overall, connected software platform would give the safety team and senior leaders much improved oversight of what was happening across all its sites, at all times.

The safety team's primary needs were to find a way to conduct more meaningful and immediate audits, to manage contractor permits more closely, and to collect better quality and more complete data about its accidents, incidents and near misses. Strata wanted a system that would allow it to identify and address trends and issues more quickly.

The system is simple and easy to use for everyone on site, resulting in high engagement rates. Since implementing Work Wallet a year ago, Strata has seen a 65% uplift in the amount of data it collects, as improvements in submission quality, filling a substantial gap in its site visibility.

Everyone is better informed, so site managers and contractors are more efficient too, delivering cost savings and productivity increases. Work Wallet’s flexible modular approach means Strata only chooses and pays for the features and users it needs. The safety team is very impressed with Work Wallet, and intends to introduce Digital Inductions and Safety Briefings soon as well.
