We’re Salama

Fully built and staffed by construction industry workers, and packed by a thriving contractor community that use Salama’s apps, we’ve grown from a one man safety-officer show in 2015, to an incredible remote team stretched across Australia, NZ, and the USA today.

Salama’s Backstory

Born out of frustration with running sites that have a lot of paperwork and offices with multiple apps.

My name is Zain. I started my OHS officer career aged 20, with Leighton Mining, and then after building the Salama software with construction workers, I released it in 2015. Alliance Network Infrastructure was Salama’s first paying client.

However efficient and time-saving software and apps can be, as a safety officer employed by a small but reputable contractor, I had to constantly jump between apps, duplicate data between apps, pay multiple subscriptions and then use even more apps to “connect” them all together – I was sunk in a productivity maze in the office, which pulled me back from being on site with the workers, helping in keeping them work safely.

That’s when I decided to build Salama with full input from the workers on our construction sites in Sydney – the most intuitive and deeply customisable platform anyone would ever need to ensure compliance, run sites efficiently, and save costs.
