Salus is a cloud-based utilities compliance platform from MRMS, designed for drainage and sewer maintenance companies. It streamlines health and safety and compliance tasks by collecting data across the entire business in real time. The platform provides a one-stop solution for reporting accidents and incidents, and conducting trend analysis, effectively digitising traditional health and safety compliance processes. By integrating field service management capabilities, Salus ensures that both site crews and back-office staff share a common system, reducing paperwork and improving visibility.
On-Site Safety Reporting for Operational Gains
Salus allows field teams to use a mobile app to log accidents, incidents and near misses immediately on site. Each entry is timestamped and uploaded to a secure cloud repository. As a modern health and safety reporting tool, this real-time capture ensures back office users see issues as they happen. All reports feed into a central platform, enabling rapid escalation and response to safety events.
Drainage and utilities teams often operate in high-risk environments, from confined spaces to busy roadside sites. Salus functions as a field-ready health and safety reporting tool, allowing operatives to log accidents, incidents, and near misses directly from their mobile device, with timestamped, geo-tagged entries uploaded instantly to the cloud.
This enables fast, accurate reporting in real-world situations. For example, if a crew detects hazardous gas levels during a sewer entry, the incident can be recorded on-site and escalated immediately. A slip on wet ground while operating a jetvac hose, or a near miss involving a passing vehicle in a live traffic environment, can be documented within minutes, complete with photos and site conditions.
Mobile data entry and automated workflows speed up daily routines, integrating safety and asset management into the field service management process. Crews spend less time on paperwork and more on productive work.
Salus includes a digital fleet management tool for vehicle checks. Field crews use the mobile app to complete a vehicle inspection log before each shift, ensuring that tankers, JetVac units and service vans meet safety standards. Salus enforces this requirement by guiding operators through a step-by-step checklist during daily vehicle checks. Once submitted, each inspection record is stored in the cloud with a timestamped audit trail of compliance. The digital vehicle inspection log ensures issues are caught early. Proactive maintenance scheduling and defect tracking reduce vehicle downtime and keep crews moving safely.
A number of features have been included to make tracking and resolving vehicle defects faster and easier. Real-time notifications give managers instant alerts when defects or issues are reported. The Track & Resolve function allows managers to update the status of vehicle reports, and add comments. An “advisory” choice has been added to the existing options “OK” and “Problem Defect”, meaning operatives can report minor issues, and a Filter & Export feature gives managers the ability to quickly find unresolved issues and export reports for action. These new features mean fewer delays, clearer communication and make operations smoother.
With Salus as a unified reporting platform, no incident or vehicle check requirement goes unrecorded. Real-time alerts and certificate management help enforce mandatory safety checks, boosting overall health and safety performance. Furthermore, it creates a complete audit trail, simplifying regulatory reporting and demonstrating compliance to clients and authorities.
Turning Events into Data-Driven Action
Beyond individual reports, Salus functions as an intelligent compliance platform. Each logged event contributes to a searchable, cloud-based repository that supports proactive risk management. Safety managers can access dashboards and reports to identify high-frequency incident categories, track response times, and implement targeted toolbox talks or procedural updates. Over time, this allows drainage contractors to shift from reactive to preventive safety strategies, reducing lost-time injuries and strengthening workforce confidence.
By embedding real-time reporting into everyday workflows, Salus ensures that on-site safety is no longer reliant on delayed paperwork or fragmented communication. It fosters a culture of accountability and learning, transforming frontline risk into insight that drives continuous improvement across drainage company operations.
