SALUS

My Review

Comments: We have finally gotten rid of paper! and are now fully digital with all of our field staff forms from hours reports to hazard assessments. It also allows us to stay on top of our staff to ensure they are doing their tailboards each day.

Pros:

It has quote a bit of features and lots of potential. It allowed us to go fully digital.

Cons:

It is still in the early development phases so there are still some bugs and missing features.

Life is so much easier with SALUS

Comments: SALUS has streamlined out field operations and Health and safety form management , they have helped us achieve better metrics with our safety program participation and have made site paperwork so much less cumbersome :)

Pros:

The things we have liked most are: Quick response to service questions, our Rep [sensitive content hidden] has been excellent in response time and helping us. The in browser chat window that links us to service tickets and webinars and web info has been really helpful The ease of use for auditing for our COR audit Taking the data that we want to narrow down and creating custom dashboards for us to produce the data in a more defined way.

Cons:

i do not really have anything that i do not like about SALUS

Improvements Required

Comments: Salus has been useful for helping us streamline our process in H&S documentation submission, and allows us to see what paperwork our own workers are submitting to ensure compliancy.

Pros:

The ease-of-use; user friendly. And that all documents are stored in one location (works best if subtrades are using this same software; more complicated if they are not).

Cons:

Subtrades not completing required forms, and no way of really being able to effectively track this. Also, forms are being completed partially and inaccurately. Realistically, we would need to dedicate a person to be checking submission every day for each site, which is unrealistic with current workload. Our site supervisors also need access to this information; they should be able to log in and see immediately which subtrades are completing their forms vs who is non-compliant, so they can rectify immediately.

Smooth interface, auto saves & syncs

Pros:

This app has a smooth interface, and auto saves drafts. It syncs automatically as well. Adding users is easy, same with creating forms and uploading documentation as a batch.

Cons:

Need to use live chat to point out glitches with screen caps. Most of the dev team is friendly. Setup was initially faces some challenges communicating expectations after results were not what we thought we established. We get "red zones" at times and the form won't save, the app just can't reach some service areas it seems. They are aware and say they are working on it so hopefully we can get into more of a green zone when filling out forms! Wish we could mass upload worker certificates, and mass email documents to contractors instead of individually. Hopefully that's next on the docket. It can be tricky when you cannot access the app unless you update it (we have our devices set up at the shop where you need to go through either management or multiple steps/apps to get the update pushed). It would be great if you could bypass the update, and use the app otherwise.

Excellent Safety Software!

Comments: We had no way of tracking safety requirements or hourly entries for staff. We can now verify their whereabouts using the GPS portion, and have no issues with safety paperwork "going missing". The value for the software is excellent.

Pros:

Ease of use with little training required. Not overly complicated, clean and simple to use. Captures exactly what we need to fulfil our hourly tracking and safety management. Looking forward to using the new features of the latest release! Customer service has always been excellent!

Cons:

They have fixed it now, but historically we were unable to archive any sites which made it extremely challenging to sort through on a mobile device. You can now archive, so we are happy to see this.
