How Phoenix was Able to Decrease Their Days With Work Restrictions by 71%

With job sites all across the continental United States, Phoenix Fabricators and Erectors, LLC, knew it was time to invest in a safety platform that streamlined communication and accountability between the onsite crews and the corporate office.

Phoenix designs and builds water towers for small townships, large municipalities, government contracts, and private enterprise. Their team prides itself on creating an enduring landmark for those communities. Oftentimes, these towers are the largest structures around for miles, so it’s no surprise that fall protection is the number one priority of the Phoenix crews.

Rather than seeing safety as only compliance, the Phoenix team uses the SiteDocs platform as a means to communicate and build relationships with their valuable team members who are elevated above the ground on the job.

Safety leaders instill the mantra: “You’re not fully dressed until you’re in your fall protection.” Those leaders can see in real-time from their mobile devices that precautions are being properly taken without waiting for documentation to be mailed across the country. The Phoenix team believes that when expectations are clear, it creates a smooth path forward for the success and safety of everyone involved.

Cutting Down Communication Lag Time with the Help of SiteDocs

Before implementing SiteDocs on all their job sites, the Phoenix team struggled with real-time accountability. The review of safety indicators often lagged days or weeks behind the actual work being done on job sites, creating a lack of communication between the job sites and the corporate office.

As the industry continues to become more and more digital, it can become a cumbersome thought for companies to make the switch from paper to digital. However, Phoenix’s safety team says “it’s not as time-consuming as you may think, and it’s hugely beneficial for the future of your company.”

Training the Team on the Implementation of SiteDocs

They continued to share that, “depending on how you set up the completely customizable platform, it doesn’t need to be a 2-3 day training to roll it out across the company. You can make it really easy for all ages to understand and adapt to – training the team only takes 20 minutes!”

All it takes is one internal champion to change an entire organization for the better.

Now the Phoenix safety team is able to identify safety issue trends, can proactively provide training, and can educate team members on safety protocols.

Through streamlining records, keeping accurate documentation, and providing up-to-date education, Phoenix has been able to reduce their reportable incident rates, which has allowed them to create a safer working environment for their team.

Within SiteDocs, teams are able to build a dashboard that showcases the success numbers to prove their safety improvements over time, which is often used when bidding on jobs and projects.

At SiteDocs, we are proud of the work Phoenix has done to communicate safety requirements and expectations across their entire team.
