Discover how Tomlinson set a new standard for safety with SALUS

Tomlinson is a vertically integrated construction and infrastructure organization. With 150–160 foremen and roughly 350,000 paper forms moving through the business every year, the team needed a practical path to digital safety operations that would work in the field.

In this on-demand conversation, Ryan Downing, VP Operations at Tomlinson, joins SALUS host Greg Vandermark to explain how the team tested adoption with a field-friendly pilot, expanded in phases, and turned captured activity into clearer operational proof.

What you will learn

• Start with field reality: use a representative pilot to learn how foremen and crews will actually work with the platform.
• Roll out in phases: apply lessons from the pilot before expanding across a large, vertically integrated organization.
• Give leaders visibility: use executive dashboards to see activity and trends without waiting for paper to move through the business.
• Respond with proof: retrieve field records quickly when an inspector asks for evidence.
• Reduce capture friction: use voice-to-text to make field input easier and support adoption.

From form replacement to operational visibility

Tomlinson did not treat digitization as a simple form-replacement exercise. The rollout connected how crews capture work, how leaders monitor activity, and how the business retrieves evidence when it matters.

The session offers a practical operating model: begin with a field pilot, learn from real adoption, expand deliberately, and use the resulting dashboards and records across field and executive workflows.
