A good construction site is always focused on SAFETY FIRST. With an ever-changing construction market, it is crucial to ensure that crews in the field are thinking safety and that the proper documentation is in place at all times. eMod has set out to solve this issue with our new cloud-based safety platform. What makes eMod special, is that we are contractors, and are truly a platform “build by the field, for the field.” Our current platform is focused on preventative safety measures to minimize the safety risks on a job site. Current modules include: • Pre-Task Planning: Submit daily pre-task plans to be reviewed by the job site superintendent. Our new streamline plan improves job site efficiency while promoting critical thinking. At the end of the day, close out your task and track that your entire crew went home safely. • Job Hazard Analysis: Every job should start with an overall safety plan from all parties. Our plan allows the governing contractor to review and accept contract safety plans prior to mobilization. • Toolbox Talk: Get access to our library of toolbox talks and log your weekly safety meetings. • User Training and Certificates: Keep track of your crew’s training and certifications. We are continuously improving out application! Please contact us through eMOD Support with any feedback! Stay Safe!
