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.
