SALUS · For Specialty Contractor Foremen
Your job is keeping the job moving. SALUS clears what's in the way.
Fifteen years of heavy investment in safety, and the outcomes haven't moved — because too much of it became clutter: forms for the forms, waiting on the GC, paperwork that competes with production instead of protecting it. Done right, safety enables production. We call it operational safety: not more safety — the same safety, faster, easier, and with far less frustration. For you, that means a 10-minute FLHA, permits and certs that don't idle the crew, answers in your hand, and Rosie behind you in every fight.
One SALUS customer put a number on it: $750 per day in recovered foreman time. Here's where it comes from.

Rosie · Unblock your crew
A missing procedure shouldn't turn Monday into a delay.
New site, new scope, new GC — and the crew is ready before the paperwork is. The site-specific plan nobody started, the SWP for a task you've never done on this job, the orientation the GC requires before anyone walks on. Tell Rosie on Friday afternoon: she drafts the plan from the site profile, your company standards, and the GC's requirements — reviewed, approved, and on every phone before the gate opens. The crew starts Monday because nothing was left to block them.
- →Site-specific plans and SWPs drafted by Rosie before mobilization — from your program, not from scratch.
- →Orientations completed by QR before day one; certs verified and refreshed ahead of the gate.
- →Readiness checked in one view: workers, certs, forms, permits, procedures — green before Monday.

Rosie · Capture
The 30-minute blank page becomes a 5-minute review.
You know the morning talk works — it's the blank paper that's broken. Select today's scope and the relevant hazards and controls are already loaded; the crew reviews and signs from their own phones, most signatures done before the stretch. And the capture doesn't stop at 7 AM: walk the slab and speak what you see — Rosie turns the voice note into a structured record, photos attached, worker and task context already on it. Safety tasks done faster, easier, and with none of the clipboard frustration.

Information flows
The proof flows. The crew stops waiting.
A specialty contractor foreman spends a shocking share of the week proving things to the GC — that the crew is oriented, certified, briefed, and permitted — and then waiting for someone in a trailer to say yes. In SALUS, the proof moves by itself: what your crew captures flows to the GC and your office the moment it exists, and the yes comes back the same way. 🍁 Across the rest of Canada that proof is the COR and prequalification record a GC asks for; ⚜️ in Québec it's the CNESST and Bill 59 program records — same capture, same feed. The compliance conversation stops being a bottleneck and becomes a feed.

Rosie · Answers at the point of work
The answer is in your hand, not in the trailer.
Workers lose 5.5 hours a week hunting for project information — and on live systems, the gap between "I should look this up" and "I'll just wing it" is where people get hurt. Ask Rosie out loud, in your language: the SDS answer arrives in 8 seconds with the section cited. The telehandler's rated capacity comes back with the operator's cert status attached. The SWP for this task, at this location, opens with one QR scan. Concise answers, sourced — fast enough that your crew actually asks.

Comprehension you can't verify
Every worker, met where they are
Signed isn't understood. SALUS closes that gap.
Your crew shouldn't need a translator to be safe — and you shouldn't need to be one. Workers ask Rosie and get answers in their own language; they complete FLHAs, orientations, and training the same way, and the office reads everything in English — including the hazard text a worker actually types. The least technical guy on the crew interacts through one QR scan. If he can add a contact to his phone, he can use SALUS.

20+ languages, both ways
Forms, talks, training, and Rosie's answers in the worker's language; submissions readable in yours.

Undermanned, every time
Rosie · Your defense
You used to fight disputes alone. Now you have an army of Rosie.
The delay claim, the backcharge, the "your crew damaged the corridor" — they all come down to the foreman's word, and the foreman is undermanned and under-resourced against a GC's paper machine. Not anymore. The facts get captured the moment they happen — a voice note, a photo, context attached automatically — and Rosie assembles the defence: the readiness record, the blocked access flagged at 9:17, the signed FLHA, the corridor photographed at sign-out. The packet your office sends is built from what you captured between picks, not from your memory at deposition speed.
- →Flag the blocked access, the damaged material, the standing water in 30 seconds — voice and photo, context attached.
- →Every entry carries worker, task, time, and location automatically. Nobody reconstructs anything.
- →Rosie turns the record into the delay-claim answer or the backcharge response in minutes — while the meeting that decides it is still on the calendar.

The basement eats the evidence
Offline-first
Zero bars in the pit. Full record anyway.
Foundation pits, riser shafts, electrical rooms — your highest-risk work happens exactly where signal dies. Every keystroke in SALUS saves locally, queues, and syncs the moment bars come back: captured at P3, queued in the stairwell, delivered before you reach the trailer. Two of you can work the same incident report from different floors in different signal conditions. Full functionality, not a read-only fallback — LMS crews run this on bridge decks with zero connectivity across 170+ sites.

Safety used to compete with production. That's over.
Now it keeps the job moving.
Operational safety: the same program, faster, easier, and with far less frustration — an hour back every morning, no crew idling on approvals, and an army of Rosie behind every fight.
The real job
What's left is the crew and the work.
Sequence the day. Watch the new guy on the lift. Make the call on the wind. Teach the apprentice what no form can. The paperwork was never the job — it was the tax on the job. SALUS pays the tax so the best foreman on the company's roster gets to actually be one.

Signatures before the stretch
Why it holds up
One loop, running on the work the crew already does.
AI without field data is autocomplete. Rosie runs on what your crew actually captures in SALUS — the scans, the photos, the sign-offs from the real day — which is why the FLHA, the toolbox talk, and the answer to the GC are right the first time and hold up later.
01
Crews capture
One QR scan, a voice note, a photo — minutes, offline, 20+ languages. The crew builds the record because it beats paper.

FAQ
Asked by foremen, answered straight.
Is the 10-minute FLHA real, or demo-real?
Real — it's why crews adopt the tool voluntarily. Hazards and controls pre-populate from the task, location, and equipment; conditional logic hides what doesn't apply; the crew reviews and signs from their phones. LMS generates 250+ forms a day across 170+ sites because the digital form is faster than the paper one was.
How does SALUS handle COR proof, WCB, and Québec's CNESST regime on a GC's site?
🍁 Across the rest of Canada, the same capture your crew already does — orientations, certs, FLHA completion, inspections — is the COR and prequalification proof a GC asks for at the gate, and it feeds your company's WCB/WSIB record. ⚜️ In Québec, COR doesn't apply: the same records support the CNESST file and the Bill 59 prevention program, kept in French, and the prevention proof a mutuelle de prévention rewards. Either way, you capture once and it satisfies the GC and your office at the same time.
How does the permit approval actually get faster?
The request goes from your phone with the worker's certs already verified, the GC approves from theirs, and both sides see the status live. No trailer walk, no phone tag, no 'come back after lunch.' Conflicts in the same zone get flagged at the request — before approval, not after two crews collide.
Every GC we work for has different forms. Does that break this?
It's the core use case. The GC's requirements live inside the same workflow your crew already knows — their forms, your standards, one capture that feeds both records. Worker profiles travel from job to job, so the crew verified on the last project walks onto the next one already set up.
Half my crew speaks another language. A few barely use phones.
Workers complete everything in their own language — 20+ supported, both directions, including the text they type — and Rosie answers their questions the same way. The interaction is one QR scan: no logins, no app navigation. Professional Excavators rolled SALUS out to workers who 'struggle just to check their voicemail.'
Does this record get used against my crew?
It's what protects them. The record proves orientation, current certs, and a signed task-specific FLHA — built automatically, timestamped, before anything went wrong. When the GC asks the hard question, your company answers with evidence instead of apologies. Crews figure that out fast; it's why the skeptics convert.
We work in basements, pits, and remote northern sites. What about signal?
Full functionality offline. Every keystroke saves locally, queues, and syncs when signal returns; two people can build the same report from different floors. The record from your worst dead zone is as complete as the one from the parking lot.
