Most safety software is built for organisations.

That becomes a problem on construction projects — where multiple contractors, systems, and teams need to work together in one place.

In this episode, I sat down with Chris Wright, founder of Nexus, to break down a different approach:

👉 project-based safety software, not organisation-based

Instead of forcing every company into the same system, Nexus creates a central layer for a single project — allowing safety information, risk data, and operational insight to be shared across everyone involved.

We also get into:

• why most safety tech is still stuck in compliance
• the gap between collecting data and actually using it
• how large projects should think about risk across multiple organisations
• and where AI fits in safety (and where it doesn’t)

About Chris:

Chris Wright is a safety professional with experience across construction and high-risk environments. He holds multiple advanced qualifications in health and safety, including two master’s degrees, and has spent his career focused on improving how safety is managed in complex, real-world settings.

In this episode we are joined by Jason Hill from Tio. Digital records play a crucial role in effective fire safety management, replacing traditional paper logbooks with digital versions. This not only improves efficiency but also ensures important records are not lost or misplaced. Asset management is another crucial aspect, allowing building owners to accurately track and manage their fire safety assets such as fire extinguishers and emergency lighting. Integration with other software through APIs is essential for developing a comprehensive and streamlined approach to fire safety management. However, the cost and accessibility of British Standards pose challenges to the industry, and a subscription-based model could provide a more affordable solution. Furthermore, the role of AI in fire safety is a growing area of interest, with the potential for AI systems to enhance automation, perform real-time CCTV analysis, and improve overall fire safety practices. Ultimately, the goal is to bridge the gap between current fire safety standards and the evolving technology in the industry.
