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 I am joined James Pellat, a leading voice in innovation and technology in real estate. In this podcast we disucss digital twins, virtual replicas of physical assets, which hold immense potential in revolutionising safety tech by providing accurate 3D representations of buildings. With the integration of building information modeling (BIM) and real-time monitoring systems, digital twins offer a comprehensive view of equipment performance, maintenance needs, and potential health and safety risks. We discus the potential of AI-powered language models like to analyse vast amounts of safety data, improve risk assessments, and provide valuable insights. It also emphasises the need for leadership and a shift in mindset within real estate companies to embrace digital transformation and leverage the benefits of new technology for safety and efficiency.

In this special solo episode, host Pete Thomas reflects on his journey through the first 16 episodes of the Safety Tech Podcast. By interviewing tech entrepreneurs and safety leaders, Pete uncovers how digital transformation and AI are set to revolutionise the safety profession. He also shares his transition from a safety professional to working for a tech company, offering insights and advice for others aspiring to make the same leap.
