Case Study: Gerd Hermanns Landscape Contractor digitizes safety and operations with Connecteam

Gerd Hermanns Landscape Contractor achieves 3 health and safety certifications with Connecteam

Gerd Hermanns Landscape Contractor, a landscape construction company in Ontario, faced significant challenges managing health and safety compliance across its dispersed job sites. Their paper-based system, which included carbon-copy forms and printed schedules, was inefficient; forms were frequently lost or damaged, and crews had to visit the office daily. They needed a digital solution to streamline operations and ensure compliance documentation was always accessible, especially during Ministry of Labor inspections.

By implementing Connecteam's Job Scheduler, Forms & Checklists, and Knowledge Base, the company digitized its entire safety and operations workflow. Crews could now receive schedules and complete digital forms directly from their phones, eliminating the need for paper and office visits. As a result, Gerd Hermanns achieved three major health and safety certifications, including ISO 45001 and COR 2020. Connecteam enabled them to present clean, searchable records for audits and saved significant time, with daily hazard assessments now completed in under two minutes per crew member.
