SALUS ยท For Trade Contractor Safety Directors

Safety department of one. Responsibilities of ten. Covered.

A dozen sites. Unique GC's requirements. A hundred workers' certs. Audits, near-misses, three languages โ€” and one of you. SALUS is the operational safety platform built for exactly you. Give Rosie โ€” the AI Admin & Risk Assistant โ€” the busy work, and see your impact grow with the business.

McBride Construction covers 100+ simultaneous projects with one safety professional. Below is how.

Me and my team have the bandwidth to actually focus on safety now that we're not constantly being bogged down in paperwork.

Duty 01 ยท Crew-level adoptionYou're in the office, compilingearned, not mandated

There is no safety program without adoption. SALUS earns it.

You can't be everywhere โ€” so the program only works if the crew works it. SALUS doesn't mandate adoption; it trades for it. Give them capture that takes seconds โ€” a QR scan, a voice note, a photo, with Rosie doing the writing. Give them answers, not binders. When safety gives more than it takes, the crew uses it.

  • No logins. No accounts. No friction.
  • Relevant controls only.
  • Real answers given in seconds - not binders
  • Worker profile created once, travel to every jobsite.

Duty 02 ยท Compliance that preventsPhysically impossible past site #2renewed before it lapses

Keep readiness current. And prove it on demand.

Because the crew captures everything in the flow of the work, your compliance record is the richest version of itself, built at the source. SALUS works that record ahead of time, so the lapse, the conflict, and the stale procedure never make it to the field.

  1. 01

    Renewals before fire drills

    Expiring certs surface weeks ahead, ranked by who's mobilizing where. A 10-minute micro-training goes to the worker's phone โ€” the cert renews before the crew ships, not after the fire drill.

    Permits that check each other

    Digital permits cross-check automatically. Hot work scheduled next to the solvent crew gets caught at the request โ€” not after both crews are working the same zone.

    SWPs that never go stale

    Rosie monitors regulations and near-miss trends continuously, flags the gaps in your procedures, and drafts the update โ€” the program stays aligned with the field instead of aging in a binder.

Duty 03 ยท Document creation2โ€“3 days each, nights and weekendsdrafted Friday 4:53 PM

Every GC and every state wants it their way. Rosie drafts it their way.

New job, new GC, new state. Describe the job to Rosie, attach the GC's requirements, and a draft comes back in seconds, built from your master program and the regs that apply. Toolbox talks draft themselves from last week's near-misses. When a code changes, live-edit once and push to every site.

  • SWPs and ad-hoc procedures for new hazards, drafted before the crew is blocked waiting on paper.
  • Your existing form library converts in hours โ€” conditional logic added, institutional knowledge intact.

Whoever's asking, the proof already exists.

The GC's compliance request, the OSHA 300A due in February, the insurer's renewal questionnaire, the prequal package for the bid your estimators want, the owner's audit. Assemble the package once, and it automatically updates with live data from the field.

Duty 05 ยท Risk intelligenceThe pattern was there. The data wasn't.ranked by where you're needed

78% of serious incidents announce themselves. Rosie hears them.

Most serious incidents are preceded by unreported near-misses โ€” patterns invisible at human scale. Rosie reads every form on every site, continuously. The crew whose hazard assessments went quiet after a foreman change. The site that's under-inspected this month. The corrective actions about to age out. Instead of reacting to whatever is loudest, you start your week knowing exactly where your field time prevents the next recordable.

Duty 06 ยท Translation & micro-trainingThree languages, one of you21+ languages, both directions

Signed isn't the same as understood.

Your crews work in Spanish, Tagalog, French โ€” and the fatality statistics track the comprehension gap with brutal precision. Rosie translates both ways: workers complete orientations, forms, and training in their own language; the office reads every submission in English โ€” including the hazard text a worker actually types, not just the menus. Micro-training lands at the point of work, in the worker's language, at the moment it's needed.

Job description ยท 06/06 duties covered

The posting asked for ten people.
It's still one of you โ€” with backup.

SALUS never replaces the safety professional. It absorbs the clerk-work the title quietly included, and gives the judgment room to operate.

The real job description

Reclaim your time - and your job.

Walk the site the rotation kept skipping. Mentor the new foreman before the near-miss, not after. Catch the hazard no form has a field for. Sit in the exec room with answers instead of homework. The compiling, formatting, and chasing that ate your weeks โ€” that was never the job. It was what kept you from doing it.

โœ“

Field leadership

Your presence, where the program actually lives โ€” backed by data on where it's needed most.

โœ“

Judgment

Every Rosie draft lands for your review and sign-off. The trail records both the sources and the human approval.

โœ“

Standing

You walk into the executive room as the person whose field data wins disputes and passes audits โ€” not the cost center.

FAQ

I work under nine different GCs with nine different requirements. Can one platform handle that?
That's the trade contractor's reality SALUS is built for. Each project carries its own GC requirements โ€” forms, orientations, site-specific programs โ€” while your company standards stay consistent underneath. Rosie drafts the GC-specific versions from your master program, and every record your crews create satisfies both audiences at once.
My crews range from apprentices on iPhones to veterans on flip phones. Will they use it?
Adoption is the design constraint, not an afterthought. Workers interact through one QR scan โ€” no logins, no passwords, no app navigation โ€” in their own language, fully offline. Professional Excavators rolled SALUS out to workers who 'struggle just to check their voicemail.' LMS crews produce 250+ forms a day because the tool is faster than the paper it replaced.
How long does implementation actually take?
About a week to first field use, not months. Upload your existing forms and Rosie converts the library in hours, adding conditional logic. Electric Plus went from internally built web forms to 400+ SALUS forms executed in their first week, with the safety team rating it 9.5/10.
Is AI-drafted safety content traceable enough for an auditor or GC?
Rosie drafts; you approve. Nothing reaches the field without human sign-off, and the trail records both the source data and the approval. Because drafts are grounded in your own program and your crews' timestamped, worker-identified field records โ€” not a generic template โ€” they hold up with OSHA, GCs, insurers, and counsel.
We work in basements, riser shafts, and remote corridors. What happens without signal?
Everything works. Offline-first is SALUS's core architecture, not a degraded fallback โ€” every keystroke saves locally and syncs when signal appears. Your highest-risk environments produce your most complete records, because the tool works where the hazards are.
Is this a way for my company to replace me?
No โ€” and we put that in writing on every page. SALUS absorbs the clerk-work the role quietly included: the compiling, chasing, formatting, and binder-building. The judgment, the field leadership, and the program remain yours. Customers like McBride don't shrink the safety function; they finally let it do its actual job at scale.
For trade contractor safety directors

The job was always too big for one person. Keep it anyway.

Bring us your most impossible week โ€” the new GC's program, the audit, the cert chase across twelve sites โ€” and watch SALUS cover it in a 15-minute demo.
