There are some good NZ apps for running your own site safety: forms, inductions, hazard boards, incident reports. They do that job well. But not one of them answers the question that actually carries the liability: are the contractors on my site genuinely compliant right now, and can I prove it? That is the half TrustPoint owns.
A safety app will help you file the induction. It won't tell you the electrician you just inducted let his public liability lapse three weeks ago.
Those apps are built for a business to manage its own health and safety. That is a real job and they do it well. But under HSWA 2015 you are also responsible for the other companies you bring onto your site, and that is a verification problem, not a forms problem.
TrustPoint was built for exactly that: proving the people you engaged were sorted, checked against the registers, on the day it mattered.
Inward-facing. Everything a single business needs to manage health and safety on its own jobs.
Outward-facing. Proof that every company you engage is compliant, and a record that stands up to WorkSafe.

Comparison describes the general category of site-safety software. Features vary by product; the point is the job each is built to do.
If you've been weighing up one of the safety apps you've seen advertised, you already understand why running your own H&S matters. The piece they leave open is the one that gets a principal prosecuted: the compliance of everyone else on your site. That's the gap TrustPoint closes.
