SALUS Β· For Trade Contractor Safety Directors

Safety department of one. Responsibilities of ten. Covered.

A dozen sites. Every GC's requirements. A hundred workers' certs. Audits, programs, near-misses, three languages β€” and one of you. SALUS is the operational safety platform built for exactly this job: your crews capture the facts in seconds, the platform heads off lapses and conflicts before they reach the field, and Rosie β€” the AI Admin & Risk Assistant β€” drafts the documents, packets, and answers. You keep the judgment. And the field.

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

Crew-level adoption

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

You can't be everywhere β€” so the program only works if the crew works it. SALUS doesn't mandate adoption; it trades for it. Give workers a JHA that's actually about today's task instead of the 40 questions they've signed 200 times. Give them capture that takes seconds β€” 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 β€” and the near-misses nobody used to hear about start reaching you while they're still warnings.

01 Β·

No logins. No accounts. No friction.

One QR scan and they're working β€” no passwords, no registration, no training on the training tool. Offline included.

02 Β·

Relevant beats recycled

JHAs and SWPs specific to today's task and conditions. Workers read what applies to them β€” that's what breaks pencil-whipping.

03 Β·

Answers in seconds, not binders

Equipment specs, SDS questions, procedures β€” Rosie answers concisely at the point of work, in the worker's language.

04 Β·

Their record, in their pocket

Worker profiles travel site to site β€” certs, training, and orientation history in one place, on their phone.

Compliance that prevents

Captured rich. Kept current. Proven on demand.

Because the crew captures everything in the moment β€” orientations, inspections, permits, signatures, photos β€” your compliance record is the richest version of itself, built at the source. And the platform works that record ahead of time, so the lapse, the conflict, and the stale procedure never make it to the field.

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 β€” the cert renews before the crew ships, not after the fire drill.

SWPs that never go stale

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

Reports on request

Insurance, OSHA, a GC β€” any report request pulls from the same living record in minutes, not from binders. The compliance you practice daily becomes the compliance you can show instantly.

Rosie Β· Document creation

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

New job, new GC, new state β€” and someone has to produce the site-specific program by Friday. Describe the job to Rosie, attach the GC's requirements, and a draft comes back in minutes, 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. You review and approve β€” the judgment stays yours, the lost week doesn't.

Rosie Β· Proof on demand

Whoever's asking, the proof already exists.

The asks never stop, and they never come from one direction: 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. The proof was never missing β€” it's in the forms, orientations, certs, and inspections your crews complete every day. Rosie assembles it in whatever shape the asker needs: timestamped, worker-identified, site-tagged.

Rosie Β· Risk intelligence

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

Most serious incidents are preceded by unreported near-misses β€” 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.

Rosie Β· Translation & micro-training

Signed isn't the same as understood.

Your crews work in Spanish, Tagalog, French β€” 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 β€” 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.

It's still one of you β€” 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

What's left is the job you actually took.

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 β€” that was never the job. It was what kept you from doing it.

βœ“

Field leadership

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

βœ“

Judgment

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

βœ“

Standing

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

Why it holds up

One loop, running on every site you can't be on.

AI without field data is autocomplete. Rosie runs on the 250-forms-a-day reality your crews create in SALUS β€” which is why her drafts survive an auditor, a GC, and a deposition.

01

Crews capture

One QR scan, a voice note, a photo β€” forms that work offline and take minutes. No logins, no friction, no excuses.

02

SALUS connects

Every fact links to a worker, a cert, a training record, a machine, a site β€” one record, not nine apps.

03

Rosie delivers

Programs, packets, answers, and risk calls drafted from that record β€” defensible because the data is.

Crew-level facts in. Defensible answers out.

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 β€” forms, orientations, site-specific programs β€” 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 β€” no logins, no passwords, no app navigation β€” 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 defensible with an auditor or a 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 β€” not a generic template β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” the new GC's program, the audit, the cert chase across twelve sites β€” and watch SALUS cover it in a 15-minute demo.
