Overview
Kier is a leading UK infrastructure services, construction and property group. Health, safety and wellbeing is at the centre of its culture. To further enhance their safety culture, Kier Group leveraged Novade’s Safety-HSE module to digitise Safety, Health & Environment (SHE) assurance processes and consolidate site data to facilitate a more-informed decision-making process. This led to a significant improvement in health and safety reporting consistency and compliance within the business.
