How Meridian Construction
cut their EMR in half
A 14-month journey from paper binders and near-fatality to zero OSHA citations and $340K in annual savings.
Nine sites. Twelve binders. One near-fatality.
In March 2024, Meridian Construction Group — a mid-size GC running nine active sites across the Pacific Northwest — had a trench excavation on Site 6 that came within inches of a collapse. The foreman had flagged a soil stability concern in a handwritten note. That note sat in a manila folder. Nobody saw it in time.

Day one on the dashboard: everything changed.
Meridian went live with SafeOps on a Tuesday. By Thursday morning, Superintendent Dale Hutchinson had logged into his dashboard for the first time. He saw three things simultaneously: an expired confined-space permit on Site 3, a toolbox talk attendance gap on Site 7, and a near-miss from Site 2 that had been submitted at 6:14 AM — before the crew lead's coffee was cold.
"I'd been running safety for eleven years on spreadsheets and gut feel. The first morning I opened SafeOps, I found two compliance gaps I didn't know existed. That was the moment I understood what we'd been missing."

EMR cut in half. Audit passed. $340K saved.
Fourteen months after implementation, Meridian faced an OSHA programmed inspection across two active sites. The compliance officer walked in with a clipboard. He walked out with zero citations. The digital record trail — every toolbox talk, every permit, every near-miss logged with timestamp and crew signature — was complete, auditable, and exportable in 90 seconds.
