Frequently Asked Questions
HCSS is designed for contractors who want to dramatically improve their safety processes and culture while reducing the dependence on an army of compliance inspectors.
HCSS Safety is designed typically for those contractors with three or more crews. The larger the company and the more diversified and geographically spread out, the more essential HCSS Safety becomes as it puts the responsibility for safety with each particular crew leader.
HCSS Safety offers pre-built safety meetings and inspections that make relevant content easy to find. Crew leaders can verify and update crew member skills and certifications, use relevant inspections as teaching tools, record safety meeting attendance and topics, track individual employee safety education goals, and track near misses, incidents, and observations to help spot leading indicators of potentially unsafe behavior.
First-class safety teams change the culture so that crew leads and crew members are constantly thinking about safety. But a world class safety program involves crew leaders and safety management working together using near misses and safety observations from all employees to identify and fix all potentially unsafe conditions and behavior. HCSS Safety is designed to help your company create a world-class safety culture.
There may be cheaper solutions to automate your paper forms, if that is all you’re intending to do. The real payoff with HCSS Safety comes from improving your safety processes and culture, which is our goal.
Yes. HCSS is committed to your success with all of our software. Even though HCSS Safety is sold based on a monthly subscription model (Subscription as a Service, or SaaS), we will still refund your money within the first year if you are unsatisfied for any reason.
HCSS Safety will return your investment with proven savings in insurance premiums, and it dramatically improves the thoroughness and efficiency of safety data collection and storage., allowing you to easily retrieve safety data needed for claims. It also saves time and liability by efficiently managing certifications. HCSS Safety will provide a huge payoff if you can turn every crew leader into a safety “manager,” and improving your safety program should reduce injuries and help you recruit top talent. You may also qualify for higher-margin work or become a preferred contractor for safety-conscious owners, and you can improve safety presentations on negotiated work through analytics and metrics.
- HCSS Safety Basic implementation typically includes between 20 and 30 hours of telephone assistance, project management, and on-line courses spread over several days or weeks.
- HCSS Safety Pro implementation typically takes five days spread over a few weeks for companies with fewer than 30 crews, with some additional hours for HCSS project management to keep you on track.
HCSS Safety integrates with other HCSS software, including HeavyBid, HeavyJob, and Equipment360 in order to create a complete solution for your business.
HCSS Safety is easy to use, and it should only take your foremen a few hours to learn how to enter data into the field app. They should be comfortable using it in a few days and very familiar with it in three to four weeks.
