Who it suitsA construction or trades business that already has a site induction PowerPoint. You invite the workers. They do not self-register. You can run the phone induction without a site gate. Set2Go does not publish a limit to residential building. It is safety administration, not a statutory WHS system, and it does not write your WHS management plan.

HazardCo's Australia homepage calls it a health and safety team for home builders and trade businesses: practical advice when you need it, plus a guided digital system. The same page says it is built for residential construction, with the right tools for everyone from the office to the site. HazardCo Australia homepage.

HazardCo's builders page says: "HazardCo is designed specifically for residential builders, rather than commercial projects." It says content, including safety plans and policies and procedures, is written with Australian residential construction in mind.

Site inductionUpload the .pptx you already use. Workers see those slides on their phone, one at a time. The quiz stays locked until every slide on that attempt has been viewed. Set2Go timestamps when each slide was first viewed. The timestamp shows the slide was opened. It does not show how long someone looked at it, and it does not show that they understood it. A certificate is issued when they pass. If you set how long a pass lasts, the record shows the expiry, and a pass that is due for a retake is marked that way. You write the questions. Set2Go does not draft them, and it does not issue a general construction induction card or ask for a photo of one.

The Australia homepage says workers scan in the first time they visit a site to induct themselves, upload their White Card, and "tick they're read their safety plan." It says they scan in and out each day so there is a record of who is on site, and that they create and submit SWMS and other site reports in the guided app. It also says you get real-time visibility of who is on site, and can monitor health and safety activity and inductions across a project or the whole business. HazardCo Australia homepage.

A HazardCo article dated 15 May 2023 says that when a worker scans into a site they are guided through a site induction and prompted to submit a photo of their White Card, and that the photo is shared and saved.

HazardCo's app page says the free app scans the QR code on the hazard board. It says a person who has landed a job on a HazardCo site, and is not looking for a membership yet, can induct themselves and scan in and out. The page also lists risk assessments, site reviews and toolbox meetings, a vehicle checklist, and digital reports. HazardCo app.

Gate and who is on siteAt a site, an invited worker scans the site QR code and enters a 6-digit PIN they set the first time. If they have not acknowledged the current site rules, they step through those rules before the check-in button is available. Check-in is refused when no induction applies to that site, or an applicable induction is not started, in progress, failed, or expired. A needs-a-retake status is flagged, and check-in is still allowed. A live board shows open check-ins. A worker check-in with no signal queues on the phone and syncs later. Sign-out is not queued. A visitor without a worker account can check in with a name and an optional company. Visitor check-in needs a connection.

Safety plans and SWMSSet2Go does not write your WHS management plan or your site rules. You can store a SWMS you write. Set2Go does not draft the hazards or controls, and it does not collect a subcontractor's SWMS for you. An invited worker can acknowledge an active SWMS. The record stores that worker and the version they signed. If the site has the SWMS module on, the checked-in screen lists active SWMS that worker has not acknowledged. That prompt does not block the check-in button. A supervisor can save a monitoring record against the controls on an active SWMS, including whether a control was in place and any non-conformance.

Toolbox talks, advice, and incidentsA supervisor records today's toolbox talk on the site safety board: who ran it, the time, the topic, and any notes. Attendees are picked from who is checked in.

Set2Go does not supply guided questions for the talk, and it does not publish a health and safety advice line or 24/7 incident support.

What those HazardCo pages do not describe

  • None of those pages describe a PIN at scan-in.
  • www.hazardco.com.au returned a gateway timeout on 21 October 2026, so nothing here is taken from a .com.au URL. The global hazardco.com homepage was opened and was not used, because the Australia pages are the ones that match this comparison.

FAQ

Is Set2Go a replacement for HazardCo?

Set2Go suits a business that already has an induction PowerPoint and wants each worker to finish that deck on a phone, with a quiz after the slides and an optional site QR code and PIN. HazardCo's pages describe a broader guided health and safety system: generated site safety plans, SWMS templates, toolbox meetings, incident support, and phone advice. If that broader system is what you need, HazardCo is the product that publishes it. Set2Go does not publish those tools.

Does HazardCo run my PowerPoint slide by slide?

The HazardCo pages checked on 21 October 2026 do not describe uploading a PowerPoint or saving a time for each slide. They describe a digital induction in the HazardCo app when someone scans the hazard-board QR code, including a White Card upload.

Can the printed prices be compared as they stand?

Set2Go prices include GST. HazardCo's pricing page prints plan prices with "+ GST", so the printed numbers are not on the same tax basis. HazardCo lists a 12 month term on those plans. Set2Go Starter has no lock-in contract. Enterprise on HazardCo's page says Get in touch, and no dollar price is published there. Use each company's pricing page before you decide. This page was checked on 21 October 2026.

Will either product meet my WHS duties for me?

Using either product does not, by itself, meet your work health and safety duties. Set2Go is safety administration, not a statutory WHS system. HazardCo describes templates kept up to date with legislation, and specialists you can call. You remain responsible for your duties as a PCBU or principal contractor, and for the content of your induction, site rules, and SWMS.

Do workers need an invite before they can scan in?

On Set2Go, yes. You invite them. They do not self-register. HazardCo's app page says someone who has landed a job on a HazardCo site can use the free app to induct themselves and scan in and out without taking a membership.
