About

Clough

Clough is a global engineering and construction company delivering complex energy and resources projects across Australia, Papua New Guinea, Asia, Africa, North America, and the United Kingdom. With a workforce of nearly 1,500 people, many employees regularly travel to remote or high-risk locations around the world.

SafetyIQ is a cost-effective technology solution that helps us manage the risks our workforce faces across global and domestic operations.

Clough

SafetyIQ provided Clough with a global, technology-driven system to track worker movements and confirm safe arrivals across multiple regions. The platform automated journey monitoring through travel itineraries, GPS tracking, and configurable escalation workflows. Employees can now log remote drive-in/drive-out trips, add extra checkpoints, and complete daily check-ins in high-risk countries. This centralization enabled Clough to create a consistent global process for managing travel risk with minimal administrative burden.

Challenges

Clough’s global workforce frequently traveled across time zones, political environments, and high-risk regions, making safety oversight complex. Their manual processes were not capable of providing real-time visibility or consistent safety assurance for international and domestic travelers. High-risk locations such as Nigeria and Laos required additional monitoring that their existing systems could not support. Clough needed a scalable, technology-driven solution to standardize travel safety across all regions.

Solutions

SafetyIQ offered global coverage, online access, GPS tracking, and multi-layered escalation features suited to Clough’s diverse travel scenarios. The software reinforced personal accountability by requiring travelers to acknowledge safe arrival at checkpoints, with automated escalation for missed check-ins. Corporate itineraries automatically populated journeys, while employees could add custom checkpoints for high-risk travel or long drive times. With minimal training, the system was deployed rapidly across executive leadership and field teams.

Results

Clough achieved rapid adoption across the organization, supported by executive endorsement and streamlined onboarding. Travelers in high-risk regions now have reliable, structured journey monitoring with daily check-ins and clear escalation protocols. The organization reduced administrative workload while strengthening real-time visibility of mobile workers worldwide. SafetyIQ helped Clough elevate its global risk management approach and enhance safety for every employee who travels.
