Paperwork alone does not keep people safe on site. Systems do. Nic sits down with Gareth Davies, Managing Director of SafeAssure, to break down what practical and effective safety really looks like in a trade business. They explore why so many safety documents fail once the work starts, and how to build simple systems that tradies actually understand and follow on site. Drawing on real world incidents and decades of industry experience, Gareth explains how the right safety foundations reduce risk, clarify expectations, and create consistency across teams and subcontractors. The focus stays on what genuinely keeps people safe and what protects a business when something goes wrong.
