Safety with Flagman

How does Flagman stop site injuries?

Plant. Lifts. Exclusion zones. Site gates. Cameras see what spotters miss. Flagman turns that into an alert.

The problem

Plant meets people

Excavators, loaders, telehandlers. Tight site. The spotter can't see it all.

What Flagman does
Mobile plant and MHE safety

Spots people around plant. Warns operator and worker. Logs every near miss.

What we measure

Near misses by zone and machine.

The problem

Walking into the drop zone

Shortcuts under a lift. Barriers moved.

What Flagman does
Access and intrusion safety

Sees people enter exclusion and lift zones. Alerts the crew. Can hold overhead cranes in precast and fab yards.

What we measure

Zone breaches by day and crew.

The problem

PPE off when it's hot

Hard hat off. Hi-vis in the ute.

What Flagman does
PPE compliance

Checks helmets and hi-vis, zone by zone. Voice alert on the spot. Report by shift.

What we measure

Compliance by shift and zone.

The problem

Who's on site?

Uninducted workers walk in. Intruders after hours.

What Flagman does
Touchless access and workforce identity

Checks every entry against your induction list. Flags strangers after hours. No cards to lose.

What we measure

Every entry matched to an induction.

The problem

Fire after knock-off

Hot works. Site sheds. Stored materials. Nobody's there.

What Flagman does
Fire and smoke detection

Spots flame and smoke by sight. Alerts site and phone.

What we measure

Time from smoke to alert.

The problem

Muster with gaps

Evacuation drill. The sign-in book has no idea.

What Flagman does
Personnel accountability

Counts people in and out by camera. Shows who's missing at muster.

What we measure

Faster musters. No one left behind.

Runs on site. Alerts in seconds. Saves the clip. Patchy site internet? Flagman keeps going. Near misses become toolbox talks. Not incident reports. Explore Flagman →

Agentic AI for the paperwork

Which site admin can AI agents take off your desk?

Six places paperwork slows the build. The agent preps, checks and chases. You approve.

01
Where it jams

SWMS and pre-starts

Signed on paper. Skipped when it's busy.

What the agent does

Sends each crew the right SWMS. Checks sign-off before work starts.

Who signs off

Your supervisor confirms.

02
Where it jams

Subcontractor compliance

Insurance lapses. Licence expires. Nobody notices.

What the agent does

Reads certificates and licences. Tracks expiry. Chases renewals early.

Who signs off

Your contracts admin approves.

03
Where it jams

Site diaries

Written at night. From memory.

What the agent does

Drafts the diary from photos, dockets, weather and Flagman logs.

Who signs off

Your site manager edits and signs.

04
Where it jams

Variations and non-schedule quotes

Latent conditions. Client changes. Priced from scratch.

What the agent does

Drafts the variation from your past jobs. Every line shows its source.

Who signs off

Your estimator approves.

05
Where it jams

Progress claims

Built in spreadsheets. Evidence missing. Dates slip.

What the agent does

Builds each claim with its evidence. Tracks payment dates. Chases late payers.

Who signs off

Your commercial manager submits.

06
Where it jams

Defects and handover

Fix photos never arrive. Handover drags.

What the agent does

Sends each defect to the right trade. Checks the fix photo. Builds the handover pack.

Who signs off

Quality signs off.

Human in the loop. Always. Nothing gets issued, paid or submitted without a named sign-off. Every agent has limited access. Every action is logged.

Worked example

What does a morning on site look like?

Flagman and the agents, working side by side. Before 10am.

02
Near miss

Labourer behind a reversing excavator

Flagman camera → edge alert → operator and supervisor

Alarm for both. Clip saved for the toolbox talk.

Cybersecurity, delivered

How do builders stop fake invoices and cyber attacks?

Deposits. Progress claims. Supplier bills. Big money moves by email. Scammers know it. Email fraud with a loss ranks second for business cybercrime. Average small business cost: $56,600 (ASD, 2024-25). So we do the security too.

The threat

Payment redirection

A subcontractor's bank details change by email. Or a client deposit goes to a scammer.

How we stop it

Bank detail changes get flagged. A real person rings to check. Clients get a clear payment warning.

The threat

Phishing emails

A fake council or supplier email. One click. Password gone.

How we stop it

Email filtering. SPF, DKIM and DMARC. Phishing training for office and site.

The threat

Hacked accounts

A stolen login. Into email, projects and accounts.

How we stop it

Multi-factor on every account. No shared logins. Alerts on odd sign-ins.

The threat

Stolen records

Plans, client details, tender prices. Copied and sold.

How we stop it

Access reviews. Least access. Tested backups. Alerts on big downloads.

Start with a Security Health Check. We test you against the Essential Eight. We check your email and payment controls. You get a plain English fix list, worst risks first. Cybersecurity services →

Can AI cameras detect people near excavators and mobile plant?

Yes. Flagman spots people around telehandlers, loaders and forklifts. It warns the operator and the worker. We check your site and machines first. Then we tell you which cameras you need.

Does Flagman help with WHS and industrial manslaughter duties?

It helps you spot and fix risks earlier. It keeps a clear record of every alert and action. It supports your safety system. It doesn't replace your duties under WHS law.

Can AI agents manage SWMS and subcontractor compliance?

Yes. Agents send each crew the right SWMS. They check sign-off before work starts. They read certificates and licences, and chase renewals early. Your supervisor and contracts admin approve.

Can you price variations the schedule doesn't cover?

Yes. Our quoting agent drafts it. Scope, labour, plant, materials and past jobs. Every line shows its source. Your estimator approves before it goes.

Do my people still approve the work?

Yes. Always. The system preps, checks and chases. A named person signs off every SWMS, claim, variation and payment.

How do builders stop fake invoices and payment redirection scams?
