SALUS · For Electrical & Specialty Contractors

Your electricians work on live systems. Your safety platform finally does too.

Your CSA Z462 program is solid. The question is execution at the panel: the LOTO procedure 200 metres away in a trailer binder, PPE self-selected from memory, qualified-worker status on a spreadsheet. SALUS is the operational safety platform built for that gap. Crews capture at the source with one QR scan, in their language, offline in the electrical room — and Rosie turns every captured fact into the answers, programs, and live proof the whole company runs on, from the foreman to the bid room.

The problem

Three problems. Only one is about paperwork.

Compliant and effective are different things. The forms existing is compliance. The forms changing what happens at the panel — that's effectiveness, and it's where electrical safety programs actually break.

01

Your forms exist. Your crew speed-signs them.

Arc-flash victims often had a fully compliant program. A 40-question generic JHA doesn't produce the same protection as 12 task-specific questions that force a real conversation — contractors using robust pre-task engagement report far fewer recordable injuries.

02

3.5 hours a day maintaining a standard nobody reads.

Pre-task plans, energized-work permits, LOTO retrieval, cert verification, daily reports. At $65–$90/hr fully loaded, that's $230–$315 per foreman, per day, on documentation that would be both more protective and faster if it were task-specific and digital.

03

You measure what happened. Not what's about to.

Your incident log tells you who got hurt last year. It doesn't tell you that one project's form completion dropped from 95% to 62% since the foreman swap. Leading indicators predict incidents — but only if you can see them.

The fix isn't more program. It's the program, executed — at the panel.

01The panel

It starts with one scan at the switchgear.

6:12 AM. An electrician QRs Panel L2-4. Everything below happens because of it.

Crew-level capture · at 480 volts

The gap between "I should look this up" and "I'll just wing it" is where electricians get hurt.

Your crews have done LOTO a thousand times — and that familiarity is the danger. SALUS puts everything at the point of work, faster than winging it: the same safety your program already specifies, with the friction gone. On live systems, that's what prevention actually means.

01

The permit matches the PPE for them

Request energized work by QR from the switchgear. Equipment data auto-populates voltage, incident energy, and boundary — and the system matches the exact PPE: glove class, face shield, arc-rated clothing. No more self-selecting from memory, which is how a large share of burned workers got burned. Approved from the GC's phone in minutes.

The LOTO procedure lives on the switchgear

Scan the QR at the panel: the current, version-controlled procedure with isolation points — in 10 seconds, on the phone, offline if the room demands it. The 200-metre trailer round trip that crews skipped under schedule pressure stops existing. The procedure is at the moment of the decision.

Qualified-person status in 3 seconds

Tap the worker's name: qualification matched to this specific task and voltage class — not 'trained' on a spreadsheet that doesn't say for what. And SALUS keeps it from ever getting close: expirations surface weeks ahead, ranked by who's mobilizing where, with the refresher pushed to the worker's phone before anything lapses.

04

The hazard report takes 90 seconds

Photo, tag, describe — or just say it, and Rosie writes the record with worker, task, and location context attached. It routes to a named person automatically and closes with a photo. When reporting costs 90 seconds instead of a form and a walk, near-miss reporting goes up 625–745% — and the 70–90% that used to go unreported become your leading indicators.

05

In every language on the crew

Many Canadian crews work in more than one language, and a comprehension gap is a safety gap. Workers complete forms and ask Rosie questions in their own language; the office reads everything in English, including the hazard text a worker actually types.

Mazzei Electric switched from SiteDocs: "Pre-task huddles went from a signing exercise to a real conversation — because the form only shows what matters for today's task."

02The office

The same scan is now your safety director's eyes.

Every permit, cert, and capture from every crew — one living record, watched continuously.

Leading indicators · always-current compliance

Stop compiling. Start preventing.

An electrical safety director's nightmare isn't the hazard the crew sees — it's the gap nobody sees: the qualification that doesn't match the task, the SWP written for the last code cycle, the project whose form quality has been sliding for three weeks. Because every crew captures at the source, the record is rich enough to watch itself — and Rosie watches it continuously. Leading indicators can predict the large majority of incidents before they happen. This is that data, building itself. 🍁 Across the rest of Canada, that record is the COR audit package and the provincial OHS evidence, assembled on demand. ⚜️ In Québec, it's the CNESST file and the comité de santé et de sécurité record under Bill 59, kept in French.

Certs current before it matters

Qualified-person status verified against the specific task at every permit — and expirations surfaced weeks ahead with the refresher pushed to the worker's phone, so the gap never forms.

Corrective actions that close

Assigned to a named person — not 'the safety department' — tracked when viewed, closed with a photo. Average close time drops from 14 days to 3.5.

Updates at network speed

Revise a LOTO procedure or SWP once and it's live on every site and every QR code immediately. No driving, no page-swapping, no stale Rev 5 in a binder.

Drift flagged this week

Form completion dropping from 95% to 62% after a foreman swap shows up on your screen in 30 seconds — not in next quarter's incident review.

Ask Rosie — answered from your own field record
  • "Which electricians have CSA Z462 certs expiring in 30 days?"
  • "Show arc flash near-miss trends across all projects this quarter."
  • "Write a toolbox talk for energized panel work with LOTO procedures."
03The bid room

By Friday, that scan is winning the work.

Crew-level facts become the live proof Canadian owners and GCs now demand.

Prequalification & winning work

The work you want goes to the contractor who can prove it — and the owner checks your evidence first.

Canadian owners and general contractors increasingly require COR certification and documented safety performance before you can bid — and they don't ask whether you have a safety program, they ask for the records: COR status, documented systems, daily compliance evidence. Every fact your crews captured at the panel is already that evidence. The Trust Portal shares it as a live link — CSA Z462 training currency, form completion, corrective-action velocity — verifiable by any GC or owner in minutes, no SALUS account required. And your best electrician's arc-flash judgment? Encoded into every form on every project, so the newest apprentice works from the veteran's playbook on day one.

  • Prequal answered with a live link instead of a binder assembled the night before the deadline.
  • Your experience rating protected at the execution level — every claim feeds the WCB or WSIB premium you pay, and gaps are where claims come from.
  • When the dispute or the records request comes, Rosie assembles the packet from the same field record — in minutes.
Electric Plus grew from a garage to 900 employees — 400 electricians on a single hospital build — and chose SALUS over HammerTech because it scaled. Safety team rating in week one: 9.5/10.

One scan at the switchgear. Proof everywhere it matters.

Capture once, at the source, with no friction — and let Rosie carry the fact to everyone who needs it, in whatever form they need it.

FAQ

Asked by electrical contractors, answered straight.

We already have a strong CSA Z462 program. Why SALUS?
You have the program — the question is execution at the panel. Arc-flash victims often had a program in place. SALUS matches PPE to incident energy automatically, verifies qualified-worker status against the specific task before the permit opens, and puts the LOTO procedure 10 seconds from the switchgear. Same program, executed every time — and your foremen recover $36K–$74K a year of documentation time each.
How does SALUS handle COR audits and Québec's CNESST regime?
🍁 Across the rest of Canada, SALUS assembles the COR audit package and the provincial OHS records from the same field capture — CSA Z462 energized-work permits, qualified-worker verification, and corrective actions closed to a named person, ready to show an auditor on demand. ⚜️ In Québec, the same record feeds CNESST and the comité de santé et de sécurité under Bill 59, in French — and supports a mutuelle de prévention file, where documented prevention helps lower the premium (15–50% depending on the group).
What's the difference between 'compliant' and 'effective'?
Compliant: the forms exist. Effective: the forms produce real conversations, near-misses get reported (70–90% currently don't), corrective actions close in 3.5 days instead of 14, and you see leading indicators before the incident. Contractors with robust pre-task engagement report far fewer recordable injuries.
How do leading indicators actually prevent incidents?
Leading indicators can predict the large majority of incidents before they happen. SALUS tracks the same signals in real time — form completion, near-miss rates, corrective-action velocity, cert currency — so when a project's completion drops from 95% to 62% after a foreman swap, you see it in 30 seconds, not 30 days.
How does SALUS handle multilingual crews?
On multilingual Canadian crews, comprehension is a safety system, not a nicety. Workers complete forms, take micro-training, and ask Rosie questions in their own language; the office reads everything in English, including the text workers actually type.
We're consolidating from eCompliance / SiteDocs / a homegrown system. How painful is it?
Hours, not months. Upload your form library and Rosie converts it — conditional logic added, institutional knowledge intact. O'Connor consolidated eCompliance and SiteDocs into one platform; Electric Plus moved off an internally built system at 900 employees and executed 400+ forms in week one.
I'm an exec. Why should I care about safety software?
Three reasons. Your foremen lose 3.5 hours a day to paper compliance — $36K–$74K per foreman per year. Your best foreman's CSA Z462 expertise can't be on 50 projects at once unless it's encoded into the system. And more and more Canadian owners and GCs require live safety verification and COR certification at prequal — not binders. Electric Plus scaled from a garage to 900 employees on exactly that basis.
For electrical & specialty contractors

Live systems leave no room for gaps. Neither does SALUS.

Bring your energized-work permit process, your cert spreadsheet, and your last prequal package — and watch one QR scan replace all three in a 15-minute demo.
