The suite of AI-powered capabilities will automate site safety admin, unlock real-time insights, and allow contractors to make faster, more informed decisions on site
As the construction industry faces growing pressure to improve outcomes and reduce risk, safety leaders are turning to smarter, connected systems that provide real-time insights and enable confident, data-driven decisions, with artificial intelligence (AI) emerging as a key enabler.
Backed by the world’s largest construction safety dataset, HammerTech Intelligence is pioneering a new generation of tools that offer deeper visibility, actionable insights, and real-time support for safety-critical decisions.
“Technology should always simplify, not complicate”
Ben Leach, CEO and co-founder, HammerTech: “We’ve always focused on solving real-world site safety challenges — never chasing gimmicks, flashy features, or adding complexity for the sake of it. In an industry where crews are under constant time pressures, we believe technology should always simplify, not complicate.
“In recent years, the ideas of using safety data to empower better, earlier site safety decisions were a vision of where the industry could go. That future is already here. We’ve seen what happens when critical safety documents like PTPs or SDSs aren’t properly filled out: limited visibility, mis-prioritised work, and added risk. Even when teams try to stay on top of it, they often end up buried in paperwork.”
The suite of capabilities includes:
- Pre-Task Plan Meeting Capture: Foremen and safety leads can record their daily PTP meetings and upload them into HammerTech. HammerTech Intelligence transcribes the conversation in moments and identifies ‘key tasks’, ‘hazards’, and ‘controls’ to ensure effortless, structured documentation.
- Observation Photo Recognition: Users can attach a photo to a safety observation. HammerTech Intelligence analyses it and suggests the most appropriate ‘type’, ‘classification’, and ‘description’. This speeds up reporting, improves accuracy and consistency, and makes it easier to act on quality data.
- SDS Form Autofill: Subcontractors can upload a safety data sheet, and HammerTech Intelligence automatically extracts relevant content and populates the required form fields. This eliminates repetitive data entry, reduces errors, and gives teams their time back to focus on the job at hand.
Improving everyday workflows
Andrew Barron, chief product officer, HammerTech: “We knew from the start that AI would only be useful if it felt effortless to use. So, we built HammerTech Intelligence as part of the core platform – not as an add-on or a separate tool. That way, thousands of workers on site get the benefit immediately, without needing to change the way they already work.
“This first release is focused on everyday workflows – think Pre-Task Plans, Observations, and SDS forms – where admin overhead and missed detail create unnecessary risk. By reducing that load, we’re helping crews stay focused on what matters in the field.
“Over time, the opportunity is even bigger. When you pair smart models with structured, construction-specific data, you can start to surface patterns, flag blind spots early, and support better safety decisions across the whole project.”
HammerTech is a cloud-based construction safety and operations platform purpose-built to streamline job site processes, improve compliance, and keep workers safe. HammerTech Intelligence will be available in North America, Australia and New Zealand.
