Construction companies earn millions of dollars in revenue but also have huge expenditures in buying equipment and maintaining infrastructure. One of the biggest expenses is hiring, maintaining, training and managing human resources to operate this machinery. The trick to keep making profits despite huge costs is to maintain a team that constantly monitors and keeps a check on overhead expenses.
Chances of injuries and near misses are evident as more and more manpower use heavy equipment, work in perilous conditions, and most time in extreme temperatures. In turn, one of the biggest costs and risks that these companies face is the cost of compliance. Most times, this is an overlooked investment, despite the significant risks involved, leading to the highest reported fines in the industry. In an effort to save a few thousand dollars in compliance, companies risk running up millions of dollars in fines.
Leading companies are starting to realize the importance of investing in effective health and safety measures. Increased regulatory compliance, eliminating job site risks, and the real-time need for incident reporting are now paramount.
In today’s age, the role of digital transformation and SaaS platforms has reshaped EHS management within the industry. This all-inclusive safety management platform has multiple modules to cater to your needs and requirements.
Here are some of the ways the system has been successfully adopted-
- SafetyStratus has revolutionized Compliance management with a centralized platform that both manages and reports, from risk assessments to conducting inspections to reporting incidents. This results in increased compliance with regulatory bodies like OSHA, EPA, and other local regulatory requirements.
- The Incident Management platform enables real-time reporting, allowing field workers to report hazards and incidents via mobile devices on-site, even without internet connectivity.
- The efficient streamlining of tasks such as inspections, audits, permits, and corrective actions. On construction sites, companies struggle to juggle and maintain several permits, which must be up to date. The Permit management tool is used to never miss an expiry of important licenses. With the Training tool, subcontractors and workers’ training certifications are easily monitored.
- The use of effective dashboards and analytics enables accurate and real-time metrics to identify trends, reduce risks, and plan proactively. Improved communication and coordination are heightened between on-site teams, safety managers, and corporate leadership.
EHS teams can conduct on-site inspections using mobile apps even in remote areas without connectivity. Using technology to ensure nothing is missed or delayed results in a good safety rate overall.
