Contact tracing across all sites when positive cases emerged
Zero
Paper handling for health screening — eliminating unnecessary exposure
Real-time
Site-specific hazard identification and compliance tracking
It’s not enough to say a job is completed safely, it needs to be proven, and SALUS is an excellent tool for managing safety documentation.
ECOH Management Inc. is a respected environmental, health, and safety consulting firm operating out of Ottawa and Mississauga, Ontario since 2000.
When COVID-19 hit, ECOH was classified as an essential service provider. While other companies scrambled to figure out health screening, contact tracing, and real-time compliance, ECOH already had the infrastructure in place.
Operational safety turns field work into usable proof.
A pandemic demanding instant traceability
The pandemic didn't create new safety challenges — it amplified existing ones. ECOH needed to move fast: digitize health screening, implement contactless processes, and prove compliance to every client, instantly.
Forms revised overnight
Health screening had to be created, distributed, and collected across multiple client sites in real time — not days. Requirements changed constantly and every revision needed instant deployment.
Paper created exposure risk
Physical forms meant unnecessary contact, unacceptable delays, and zero ability to trace who was where and when. Contactless processes weren't optional — they were non-negotiable.
Digital screening deployed across every site overnight
Digital COVID-19 screening
ECOH's SALUS platform allowed them to create, distribute, and track COVID-19 screening forms digitally.
Instant contact tracing
Contact tracing provided instant answers — no paper trails, no delays.
When a positive case appeared, the search and contact tracing functions provided instant answers.

Subcontractor Portal
ECOH’s subcontractors submit documentation digitally. Training records, daily forms, equipment inspections — all verified and time-stamped. The documentation that regulators require is generated as a byproduct of daily operations, not as a special project.

Smart Digital Forms with Environmental Logic
Environmental assessments have specific regulatory triggers. SALUS forms use conditional logic to surface the right requirements based on project type, jurisdiction, and scope. Irrelevant sections are skipped. Relevant ones are mandatory.

Corrective Actions with Closure Tracking
Environmental deficiencies don’t age quietly in ECOH’s system. Every corrective action is assigned to a specific person, tracked from identification to closure, and visible to management in real time. The loop closes because the system won’t let it stay open.

More from Arianne Bohnert
In the event that any site came back to us and said they had a positive COVID-19 case, we can search that worksite and support contact tracing to find out which workers may have been at risk.
Once the forms are submitted, it’s complete with very little effort required from a records management standpoint.
