Washington Patriot has implemented the use of the Procore Safety module and it has become a staple for management and site crews. The use of the Procore Safety Module allows the company’s team to store all safety related documentation, such as incident reports, inspection forms, and safety checklists in one platform.

Site teams can use the mobile app to perform safety inspections, keeping track of site conditions and potential hazards. Having this information centralized makes it easy for site crews to access important information using their iPads or iPhones. This leads to greater efficiencies and allows safety updates, inspections, and incidents to be communicated more quickly, reducing the risk of oversight.

WA Patriot has a designated safety officer/corporate warehouse manager who the company re-hired and retrained through the Department of Labor Industries’ Preferred Worker Program. This re-hire and retraining of one of the company’s carpenters has proven to be a huge success and benefit to its corporate safety program. The safety officer/corporate warehouse manager is responsible for equipment inspection and maintenance, delivery and pick-up of material and equipment, and he serves as a consultant/mentor on best safety practices and procedures from his 40+ years of experience in commercial construction.

He and the site superintendents conduct weekly and special safety inspections (cranes, excavations, etc.), identifying potential hazards that may be overlooked. Using Procore’s Safety Module, he ensures compliance by tracking inspection completion, safety reports and corrective actions. He has integrated WA Patriot’s standard safety inspections into the module, including pre-dig checklists, daily trench inspections, elevated work platform and ladder safety, Lockout/Tagout, materials handling, pre-task checks, and site safety inspections, tailored to each project.

The company reports that having its safety officer and field crews perform safety duties in conjunction with the use of Procore and iPads in the field has helped the team improve safety practices, ensure compliance, and reduce risks, thereby creating an overall better safety management process.
