A commercial construction company replaced its failing paper-based safety program with Make Safety Easy - boosting COR audit scores from 68% to 94% and saving $180K in Workers' Comp premium reductions.
Summit Construction Group was struggling with a paper-based safety program that consistently failed audits and left supervisors scrambling to track compliance across six active job sites.
With a COR audit score stuck at 68%, Summit was at risk of losing contracts with major general contractors who required a minimum score of 80%. Paper records were incomplete and difficult to produce during audits.
Toolbox talk compliance sat at just 55% across all sites. Some supervisors conducted talks but never documented them while others skipped them entirely when projects fell behind schedule.
With 12 or more recordable incidents per year, Summit faced rising Workers' Comp premiums and growing concern from project owners. Without centralized data there was no way to identify trends or root causes.
Summit Construction Group deployed Make Safety Easy across all six active sites, focusing on the four modules that addressed their biggest gaps.
Field workers now report incidents in real time from their phones with photos and GPS location. Supervisors receive instant alerts and corrective actions are tracked to completion automatically.
Site inspections run on standardized digital checklists with photo evidence. Deficiencies trigger automatic corrective action workflows, giving management full visibility across every site.
Pre-built and custom safety talks are delivered on mobile devices with digital sign-off from every crew member. Completion rates are tracked in real time on the management dashboard.
All claims and premium data are centralized in one dashboard. Summit can now track claim status, monitor costs and generate reports for Workers' Comp submissions without manual data entry.
Within 12 months of rolling out Make Safety Easy, Summit Construction Group saw dramatic improvements across every safety metric.

Saved in Workers' Comp premium reductions
- Safety Director, Summit Construction GroupWe went from dreading COR audits to passing them with confidence. Our supervisors actually use the system because it saves them time instead of adding to their workload. The Workers' Comp savings alone paid for the platform twice over.
