SALUS vs. HammerTech:
Greater adoption, less friction.
You need a readiness and safety platform that handles the needs of a complex organization: multiple jobsites, multiple teams, subcontractors, integration with systems. Both SALUS and HammerTech can handle it. But HammerTech's complexity causes implementation and usage friction.
- SALUS is crew-first and mobile-first.
- Agile rollout in as little as 2 weeks
We quickly knew that HammerTech was built from the top down, while SALUS was truly built for the foreman and superintendent level and then trickled up. That ethos continued to show itself throughout the process.

Start with the crew. Build the record the business needs.
HammerTech is designed around the office. SALUS was designed to optimize adoption. Garbage in, garbage out. Continue to work while offline, QR scan, no account/no login required, worker collaboration, rich mobile app with access to all functionalities, totally customizable workflows: at SALUS, everything was designed to remove friction.
Field adoption was already happening with SALUS. Our foremen and superintendents found it easy to access, easy to use, and it simply worked. Combined with the team’s hands-on support, it became very clear who we wanted to work with moving forward.
Keep one trade-and-worker record across GC relationships
HammerTech requires subcontractors and workers to create multiple accounts and switch between them. And they don't own their data. SALUS gives the trade contractor and worker one portable trade-and-worker record across GC relationships while preserving the GC, project, worker, task, time, and source context of each event. And they own their data.
- One portable operating record — Manage workers, qualifications, orientations, field activity, and closeout from the trade contractor’s own record across GC relationships.
- Context travels with the record — Carry each worker’s readiness and work history forward without losing the original GC, project, site, and task context.
- The trade contractor’s portfolio — See readiness, risk, and proof across active projects and GC relationships from one operating view.
- Proof without reconstruction — Use signed, timestamped field records for prequalification, audits, owner reporting, and insurance without rebuilding the story from disconnected exports.
Honestly, it wasn’t really close. SALUS was way better than HammerTech in their view.
Beyond orientation: learning connected to the work
HammerTech supports digital orientations and a training matrix. SALUS goes deeper with an integrated LMS in the same crew record — so teams can create courses with Rosie, assign learning from active work, and track completion without separating training from field operations.
- Integrated LMS — Create, assign, complete, and track courses alongside worker records, forms, and field activity.
- AI course creation — Rosie, the AI Admin & Risk Assistant, drafts and translates course content for your team to review and approve.
- Learning from the work — Use permits, incidents, corrective actions, and changing site conditions to put relevant training in front of the right crew.
It was everything I felt we needed to take our safety to the next level. We developed a really good relationship with the SALUS team and we got to work.
