Hazard reporting for owners of small construction firms
Short answer
An owner wants to know that hazards reach someone who acts, and that the paperwork will stand up later. Haznote keeps each report, its evidence and every status change in one record that is never deleted. It is priced per site, published, and free for every worker.

What sits with you
When something goes wrong on a site, the questions land on the business. Was it reported? Who knew? What changed afterwards? Regulators say in plain words what failing to report can cost, and the rows below quote two of them. The point isn’t to be frightened of a number. It’s to be able to show a timeline.
What you get
- One record per incident: the worker’s words, the AI’s draft, the manager’s edits, the status history
- A WHS PDF with your legal name, ABN and report number
- Incidents are marked resolved or archived, never deleted
- A price per site that you can read on the pricing page
Pricing is by site or company, not by user, so adding a worker doesn’t change the bill. You want every worker reporting, and the price shouldn’t get in the way.
What you still own
Haznote helps you keep records and spot reports that may be notifiable. It isn’t legal advice, and it doesn’t carry your obligations for you. Your managers confirm classifications, and your decisions stay yours. For a second opinion on your obligations, ask your regulator or a WHS professional.
The sample WHS PDF shows what a manager can hand over. It’s built from example data, so you can judge the layout and the level of detail before you start a trial.
What regulators say that matters here
Each row shows the source’s own words, who published them and when they were last checked by script.

Plain answers.
Is it priced per worker?
No. Pricing is per site, and workers are free. The published prices are on the pricing page.
Does it keep us compliant?
Haznote helps you keep records and flags reports that may be notifiable. It doesn’t make you compliant on its own, and it isn’t legal advice.
Who can see the confidential reports?
The company’s confidential contact: an appointed Representative if you have one, otherwise an Admin. Site managers don’t see them.
