Case Study: HEI Civil achieves instant access to training & unified paperless safety with HCSS Safety (HCSS)

QR Codes + HCSS Safety gives HEI Civil Instant Access to Training Documents, Certifications and a World of Resources

HEI Civil, a multi‑division civil contractor founded in 1973 with more than 1,000 employees and roughly 90 field supervisors across several states, needed to unify its safety program and replace paper‑based processes. The company sought a more efficient way to deliver training, track certifications and maintain consistent safety protocols across projects and teams.

HEI implemented HCSS Safety—integrated with its HeavyJob and Equipment360 systems—and moved to electronic delivery, custom forms, automated incident reporting and QR‑code hardhat stickers that provide instant access to each worker’s trainings and certifications. The change delivered real‑time field‑to‑office communication and accountability, faster OSHA responses, streamlined tracking of 100+ certificated trainings, and thousands of dollars saved in printing and administrative costs.
