Siteassist
Paper permits and clipboard inspections, replaced by real-time site control
What it is
About Siteassist
SiteAssist is a UK-based digital control-of-works platform used on high-risk construction, utilities, nuclear and defence sites to digitise permits-to-work, inspections and safety compliance checks. It connects field workers and site office teams in real time, using AI to flag hazards (e.g. missing PPE, unsafe proximity to plant) from photos/video and giving site managers live dashboards of compliance status.
What you can do with it
Capabilities
Digitise and route permit-to-work approvals in real time
Run digital safety inspections and checklists from a mobile device on site

How to learn it
Learning Resources
SiteAssist's own onboarding/training provided to client organisations
General digital construction safety management courses (e.g., via CITB or IOSH)
Vendor product demos and case studies on siteassist.com
Hands-on use during a real site safety induction/rollout, typically how most site staff first learn it
Pro Tip
Push adoption from the top down — control-of-works tools only deliver real-time visibility if every permit and inspection genuinely goes through the app rather than reverting to a paper backup when someone's in a hurry
