OVERVIEW

CEI, a civil construction company, transformed its safety and compliance processes by implementing GoCanvas. Safety Manager Lynne Finley leveraged GoCanvas to streamline safety meetings, site audits, and incident reporting, resulting in improved accountability, communication, and efficiency across multiple job sites.

Background

CEI specializes in civil construction projects such as roadways, waterways, and trolley systems. Lynne—who joined CEI June 2023—is responsible for managing safety, ensuring compliance, and fostering a culture of safety across the company. With a team that predominantly speaks Spanish, effective communication and proper documentation are critical to maintaining safety standards.

The Problem

CEI faced challenges in maintaining accountability and ensuring consistent safety practices. Safety documentation was primarily paper-based, making it difficult to track compliance and hold employees accountable. Communication barriers due to language differences within the team further complicated safety management.

The Solution

GoCanvas provided CEI with a solution to manage safety documentation and compliance. By using GoCanvas for daily safety meetings, site audits, and incident reporting, Lynne and her team could quickly access and submit necessary forms. The platform’s user-friendly interface allowed for easy adaptation, even among those less familiar with technology. GoCanvas also facilitated mobile access, enabling Lynne to perform her duties efficiently while on the go.

The Outcomes

• Increased accountability: With instant access to submitted forms, Lynne could hold employees accountable in real time...
