A digital safety board at the site gate
Show the F10, CPP summary, first aider, fire marshal, current RAMS and the accident tally on a screen anyone can read — without putting personal data on a public display.
£30.00/month ex VAT · no per-site charge
Site gate board
F10, first aider, RAMS and the accident tally — roles only, no names on screen.
What the board displays
Site rules, induction and F10 — where people can see them
CDM 2015 does not require a digital board. The principal contractor must bring site rules to everyone's attention, give a suitable induction, and display the F10 notice in the site office when the project is notifiable. A digital board keeps that information current.
- F10 notification to HSE
- Construction phase plan summary
- Health and safety file reference
- Named first aider and fire marshal
- Daily site register (headcount, not names)
- Current RAMS for active work
- Accident and near-miss tally
- Emergency procedures and assembly point
- Principal contractor and client details
- Site rules and PPE requirements
Three ways to run it
Standalone, connected or hybrid — your choice
Not every site needs the full HSEQ system behind the board. Pick the mode that fits each project.
HSEQ add-on
Connect the board to your live HSEQ data. First aiders, fire marshals, RAMS and the accident tally pull from the same system your competent person already uses — no double entry.
Hybrid per project
Some projects run standalone boards; others pull live data. Mix and match across your sites from one account. Each project gets its own board URL and QR code.
GDPR and privacy
Personal data stays off the public screen
A whiteboard at the gate with names, phone numbers and induction details is a data protection risk. The digital safety board separates the public view from the authenticated view, so the information workers need is still available — just not to every passer-by.
No names on the public screen
The board shows roles — 'First aider on site today' — not personal names. Anyone walking past the gate sees duties, not a staff list.
Details behind QR login
Workers who scan the QR code and log in see the full detail they need: the named first aider, the fire marshal, their induction record. Public and private views are separated.
Visitor induction without paper
Visitors scan the QR code, read the site rules and confirm they understand. The record is stored digitally — no clipboard at the gate that anyone can read.
Kiosk display
Full-screen mode for any screen
Mount a tablet or TV at the site entrance and open the board URL in a full-screen browser tab. The display rotates through panels — site rules, emergency contacts, current RAMS, the accident tally — so the screen never goes stale.
- Works on any device with a web browser
- No app install or special hardware required
- Auto-refreshes when data changes
- Rotates panels to keep all information visible
QR code access
Scan, read, enter
Every project gets a unique QR code. Workers scan it to see the full safety information — named first aider, fire marshal, the CPP and any RAMS relevant to their task. Visitors scan the same code for site induction.
- Unique QR per project — no mix-ups between sites
- Workers see full detail after authentication
- Visitor induction replaces the paper sign-in sheet
- Print the QR on hoarding, PPE boards or welcome packs
Pricing
One price, all your sites

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the digital safety board, site information duties and how the board handles personal data.
What does the digital safety board show?
The board can show the construction phase plan, site rules, named roles, current RAMS, accident tally and F10 status. CDM 2015 does not require a digital board — it requires that people on site can see the rules, receive an induction, and (if notifiable) read the F10 notice in the site office. Personal names stay off the public screen.
Do I need the full HSEQ Nova system to use the safety board?
No. You can run a standalone board without HSEQ Nova Core. If you do subscribe to Core, switching on the safety board add-on pulls live data — first aiders, RAMS and accident tallies update automatically.
How does the board handle personal data and GDPR?
The public display shows roles, not names. Workers and visitors who scan the QR code and authenticate see the detail relevant to them. Visitor induction records are stored digitally, not on a clipboard anyone can read. This keeps you aligned with UK GDPR and CDM 2015.
Can visitors use the QR code for site induction?
Yes. Visitors scan the code at the gate, read the site rules and confirm they understand before entering. The induction record is saved with a timestamp, replacing the paper sign-in sheet.
What hardware do I need for the kiosk display?
Any screen with a web browser works — a tablet mounted at the gate, a TV on a stand, or a weatherproof monitor. The board runs in a full-screen browser tab. No special hardware or app install is needed.
How much does the digital safety board cost?
The safety board add-on is £30.00 per month excluding VAT. If you use it as a standalone board (without HSEQ Nova Core), the same price applies. There is no per-site charge — one subscription covers all your projects.
Does the board help with SSIP or CHAS applications?
Assessors reviewing site arrangements under CHAS, Constructionline or SafeContractor look for evidence that site information is communicated. A digital board with a URL you can share is easier to evidence than a photograph of a whiteboard.

Replace the whiteboard at the gate with a board that stays current
F10, first aider, RAMS and the accident tally on a screen — not a laminated sheet from week one. Personal data behind a QR login, not on a public display.
