The Challenge: Field Adoption & Office Satisfaction

Before transitioning to a digital safety program, Stampede Electric faced significant challenges with their paper-based system. Jenny Buck, Executive Assistant at Stampede Electric, explains:

‍

“It was horrible. We had huge stacks of paper with employees filling out forms daily. Our safety consultant literally drove around to all of our job sites every week to collect paperwork, then file it. It was disorganized and time-consuming.”

‍

This cumbersome process led to inefficiencies and a lack of real-time insights into their safety data. Additionally, it started to have a negative effect on their safety culture. With critical documentation like their safety manual being difficult to access, workers rarely stayed up to date on critical practices for their compliance.

The Solution: A seamless digital transition

Stampede Electric made the switch to SALUS in September 2019, prompted by their safety consultant's recommendation. The goal was to streamline their safety program, reduce costs, and save time. After reviewing various digital platforms, SALUS stood out for its powerful capabilities and excellent customer service.

Jenny shares, “The customer service is excellent. Whenever we need anything, they are ready to help right away.”

‍

The digital transition was seamless, with workers quickly adopting the mobile app for signing forms and submitting safety data. This eliminated the need for paperwork and allowed for immediate access to crucial safety information.

The Result: A Culture of Trust and Efficiency

With SALUS, Stampede Electric transformed their safety program into a fully digital system, improving the speed and accuracy of safety-related documentation. Key benefits include:

• Real-time access to workers' forms via the app, reducing the need for physical paperwork and administrative time.
• Certificate tracking ensures that all employees' certifications are up-to-date and managed efficiently, with automated reminders for renewals.
• Increased training accessibility with safety meetings saved on the platform, allowing employees to access them anytime.
• Cost savings: The company is now saving at least $3,000 annually in paper and ink costs, plus $12,000 in employee salaries for administrative tasks.

Jenny emphasizes that the digital system has not only improved efficiency but also strengthened their safety culture. “People are taking safety more seriously, and we have more people joining the safety committee. Having the safety manual on the app has made it way easier for people to access and understand.”

‍

Jenny advises other companies considering digital safety solutions: “Change is a good thing! It may seem like a significant investment initially, but we saved the whole platform’s cost in printing alone – not to mention that everything is so much easier and more organized.”
