Construction compliance software for Irish contractors.
Keep the records behind your construction sites organised: people, inductions, RAMS, inspections, equipment, incidents and subcontractor information.

Construction compliance is not one document or one register. Site teams may need to keep track of workers, site access, training and certification, equipment records, inspections, RAMS and actions arising from checks.
EquipSet brings these records into one construction management platform so that information can be connected to the relevant site, person, machine or activity.
Worker and site records
Keep a digital record of people attending site and connect site induction and certification information with attendance. This can reduce the need to search through separate spreadsheets, paper forms and email threads.
Equipment and inspection records
Keep equipment records, inspection history and actions together. QR-based equipment checks can make it easier for operators to access the correct inspection process from a phone.
RAMS and safety management
RAMS form part of a wider safety-management process. EquipSet can help keep RAMS records and acknowledgements connected with the people and sites they relate to.
Irish construction context
The Health and Safety Authority provides guidance on risk assessment, RAMS and construction safety management. SOLAS administers programmes including Safe Pass and CSCS. EquipSet is a software record-keeping and site-management platform; it does not replace a competent safety professional or the underlying legal duties of an employer or contractor.
For official guidance, see the HSA RAMS and Safe Plan of Action guidance and SOLAS Safe Pass information.
Compliance is being able to show it
In practice, construction compliance is tested at specific moments: a main contractor's prequalification questionnaire, a client audit, an HSA inspector on site, an incident investigation. At each of those moments the question is the same — can you produce the records? Induction and attendance for a given date, the RAMS version a crew acknowledged, the inspection history of a machine, the examination report behind it, the action taken after a failed check.
The work has usually been done. The gap is that the evidence lives in five places and three formats. Keeping those records in one system, attached to the site, person or machine they relate to, is what turns "we do this" into "here it is."
The compliance calendar
A large share of compliance records are date-driven: certification and training expiry dates, examination report dates, insurance renewals. A register that shows what is approaching expiry — before it lapses — converts compliance from a scramble into a schedule. EquipSet keeps expiry information visible against the worker or machine it belongs to.
Construction compliance questions
What is construction compliance software?
Software that keeps the operational records behind a construction business — inductions, attendance, RAMS acknowledgement, inspections, equipment examination reports, certifications and corrective actions — organised and retrievable, attached to the site, person or machine they relate to.
What records should a contractor be able to produce?
Commonly requested records include induction and attendance for a given period, current RAMS and who acknowledged them, inspection histories and the actions arising, examination reports for lifting equipment, and worker certification with expiry dates. The exact set depends on the client and the work.
Does compliance software make us compliant?
No. Software organises the evidence of what you do; the underlying duties — risk assessment, competent people, training, maintenance, supervision — remain with the employer and contractors. EquipSet makes the records producible; it does not replace the responsibilities behind them.
Can EquipSet cover subcontractor compliance as well?
Yes. Subcontractor workers, machines and documentation can be recorded and tracked the same way — see the contractor compliance page for the subcontractor-vetting side of the picture.
