Case Study: HLM Safety and Environmental Services achieves stronger safety compliance and reduced risk with HCSS

How Your Safety Program Can Help Protect Production

HLM Safety and Environmental Services, led by Hope Matheny, faced the challenge of improving construction safety culture while reducing jobsite delays, lost training records, and OSHA-related risk. The company needed a better way to organize safety documentation, keep crews accountable, and protect production without relying on paper files and spreadsheets. HCSS helped address these needs with its HCSS Safety software.

HCSS implemented a digital safety solution that allowed HLM Safety and Environmental Services to log training records, meetings, inspections, JSAs, observations, and near misses directly on tablets. The result was faster access to documentation, better communication and accountability, and measurable safety gains — including a 0.15 reduction in EMR in one year. HCSS also helped reduce costly downtime, such as the 3,000-paper compliance burden and potential shutdown-related lost hours, while supporting stronger recruiting and a better safety reputation.
