HOUSTON, Oct. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- SignOnSite,
the construction safety management system, today announced an
agreement with Trillium CNG. Trillium is the Texas subsidiary of the Love's Family of
Companies that builds and manages compressed natural gas (CNG),
electric vehicle (EV), and alternative energy fueling stations
across the United States. Trillium
will be using the SignOnSite personnel safety application to manage
and protect workers at new CNG station building projects.
SignOnSite provides construction companies and their workers
with a robust, but simple risk and safety management system that
leverages the technology already on construction sites.
SignOnSite takes a highly unique approach to risk and safety
management. Current systems require a top-down management model,
where companies not only have to implement risk and safety
management policies and procedures, but also have the burden of
ensuring that the workers on site actively participate in them.
With SignOnSite, however, this model is flipped. The people on
site are empowered with simple, straightforward technology that
lets them easily engage with and participate in risk management
processes. The construction company is then enabled with digital
control of their sites and remote risk management capabilities.
For construction companies running complex projects, the
increased efficiencies of a digital platform present a drastic
increase in site management and safety risk management
capabilities. Controls such as qualification and orientation
management are complemented by productivity tools such as remote
site visibility. Additionally, superintendents and project managers
can manage site attendance, safety communication and even emergency
evacuations.
Being a mobile app-based solution, SignOnSite is contactless and
reduces COVID-19 transmission risk.
Job site safety is an ongoing concern for contractors,
especially as process complexity increases which makes safety
protocols more complex. OSHA estimates that nearly one-quarter of
work-related industries are in the construction industry. Safety
compliance and increased safety vigilance have been proven to
reduce job-related injuries, reduce losses in time and money by 20%
to 40%, and improve public safety.
Trillium is part of the Love's Family of Companies which has a
national network of truck stop and truck service locations.
Trillium operates over 200 CNG fueling stations across the United States and offers services such as
station design, construction, 24/7 operation and maintenance, grant
writing, and commercial support. Building CNG fueling stations
require unique design and safety measures to accommodate
high-pressure tanks, including special installation procedures and
using materials that are quite different from gasoline and diesel
stations. CNG stations are subject to highly complex building codes
and requirements and a more rigorous set of safety codes,
standards, and regulations.
With SignOnSite, managers establish a site boundary on a digital
map and workers are automatically logged into and out of the job
site using a Passport credential set up in a SignOnSite smartphone
app. In addition to attendance records, the SignOnSite app notifies
workers of site safety rules, provides daily safety briefings, and
shares work site information. It also can be used for site-specific
orientations to ensure workers receive and acknowledge safety
briefings. Workers also can use SignOnSite platform to store
emergency contact information, qualifications, trade licenses and
other data. A kiosk version also is available that provides on-site
registration without the need for a mobile device.
"More mobile technology is being adopted on the job site, and we
are seeing more North American companies like Trillium adopting
mobile systems like SignOnSite to promote worker safety," said
Mitch Harmer, Co-Founder & CEO
of SignOnSite. "No other solution gives you real-time visibility
into your on-site workforce while enforcing safety protocols and
compliance. We expect more companies to adopt mobile solutions like
SignOnSite to manage employee traffic and personnel safety."
In addition to registering employees entering the job site and
providing safety updates, SignOnSite also generates site statistics
reports to show worksite activity. Reports provide data such as the
total number of site visitors, the number of subcontractors, the
companies that visit the site, total hours, and more. Attendance
data also can be shared with a Procore manpower register to
calculate individual workers' time on the job site.
