Built for Specialty Contractors

Does this work for my trade?

Same connected platform. Configured for the way your trade actually works — from the permits you pull to the way you invoice.

Heights · Weather · Hot Work

Roofing

Common Challenge

Crews at height every hour, harnesses cycling through multiple workers, weather windows compressing schedules, and hot-work exposure from torch-down and welding. Documentation happens in the truck at 5 PM — if it happens at all.

Why It Matters

One frayed lanyard missed in a pre-use check is a fall claim. One un-documented hot-work job is an EMR-crushing OSHA finding. Insurance carriers are pulling coverage on roofers who can't produce clean records.

How DropShield Helps

Guided fall-protection pre-use inspections on every harness — pulled up by QR scan at the truck. Failed gear is automatically moved out of service, with ANSI Z359-aligned removal and destruction prompts. Hot-work permits capture the fire watch and duration, JHAs attach to the jobsite, and every crew hour is clocked against the site it was worked on.

Arc Flash · Energized Work · NFPA 70E

Electrical Contractors

Common Challenge

Energized work authorization, arc-flash boundaries, LOTO, and PPE-category checks — expected on every task above 50 volts. Journeymen and apprentices need traceable training and cert records. Panel schedules and field notes live on paper in the truck.

Why It Matters

NFPA 70E and OSHA 1910.269 violations carry six-figure fines. GC prequalification (ISNetworld, Avetta) requires documented training on every man. A missing PPE-category record ends a shift on a hospital or plant site.

How DropShield Helps

An Energized Electrical Work checklist captures voltage, approach boundary, and PPE category, with your own steps added in the template builder. Lockout/tagout runs as a permit with required sign-offs and photo-on-fail steps. Every worker has a live certification wall with valid / expiring / expired status so supervisors see lapses before the crew rolls out. Field photos and notes attach to the specific jobsite and work order.

Rigging · Refrigerants · Confined Space

Mechanical / HVAC

Common Challenge

Crane picks and rigging gear for rooftop units, refrigerant handling records, confined space entries into boiler rooms and mechanical shafts, and warranty-critical startup documentation. Service technicians run trucks solo across dozens of properties per week.

Why It Matters

EPA 608 recordkeeping violations are $10K+ per event. A missed rigging inspection is a dropped unit and a fatality. Manufacturer warranties require documented startup — miss it and your customer's $80K RTU is uncovered.

How DropShield Helps

Crane pick / pre-lift and monthly rigging gear checklists ship in the library and scan by QR. HVAC install and service checklists capture refrigerant weights, EPA 608 handler confirmation, vacuum and pressure readings. Confined space permits log atmospheric tests, attendant and entrants, and the rescue plan. Completed work orders export a customer-ready PDF with serial numbers, readings, and photo evidence — and every visit stays on that asset's service history.

LOTO · Confined Space · Turnarounds

Industrial / Plant Services

Common Challenge

Plant work is permit-heavy: LOTO, confined space entry, hot work, excavation. Every step requires signatures, atmospheric readings, and audit trails. Missing one document ends the shift — or worse. Turnarounds run 24/7 with rotating crews.

Why It Matters

OSHA 1910.146 and 1910.147 have zero tolerance. Plant owners audit contractors and can revoke site access on a single documentation failure. Turnaround work is where margin is made or lost — and where a lost hour cascades across dozens of trades.

How DropShield Helps

Confined space, LOTO, hot work, and excavation permits with atmospheric tests, attendant/entrant tracking, rescue plan, and required sign-offs — on the phone, timestamped, tied to the jobsite and the equipment worked. Failed checks open corrective actions and track to verified closure. Share a read-only jobsite timeline link or export a compliance PDF when the plant owner asks. Turnaround labor and materials roll up to the jobsite and work order for live cost-to-complete.

Line · Gas · Water · Storm Response

Utility Contractors

Common Challenge

Energized clearances on every task. 811 one-call locates before the dig, gas atmospheric monitoring in the trench, and storm-response deployments that put crews on unfamiliar systems with no time to spool up on paper.

Why It Matters

OSHA 1910.269 and DOT 49 CFR Part 192/195 are the regulatory floor — and utility owners layer their own contractor scorecards on top. A missed locate is a struck line, a shutdown, and an incident that shows up in your next bid.

How DropShield Helps

Excavation permits require 811 locate confirmation before work opens, with atmospheric readings and controls logged on the same record. Build your own approach-distance and clearance prompts in the template builder and require a photo on any failed step. DOT pre-trip and post-trip DVIRs run from the phone and export as PDFs, defects open repair work orders, and every clock-in is GPS-stamped to the site — so storm and callout crews are documented from the first hour.
