“Ever conscious for my brother’s safety, and my own, I developed a keen eye for safety in construction,” he recalls.Ībout a decade ago, Brandon transitioned to industrial construction. In that role, he learned small business management and machine operating skills the hard way.
Once the project starts, HSS on-boards the workforce, including construction, operations, inspection and safety staff, and as an accredited SAIA-SIAC trainer, HSS provides awareness and safety training for all site workers.īrandon began his professional career running a landscaping company with his twin brother. With the designs built in 3D space, the HSS team then estimates the materials, labour size, work effort and then, working with the client, determines the best schedule for the erection and dismantle of scaffold on the site. It’s important to us that we get the details right, and I think our clients appreciate that level of service.” With that model, we can effectively communicate the plan, work effort, and we can ensure that we’re on the same page with the client before the first piece of equipment is on the ground. “We ensure our own understanding of our client’s scaffold needs by 3D modelling and then demonstrating the build in a 3D virtual space. The work begins well before the job starts for HSS. The feedback on how we delivered our services is vital.” Every day we ask our clients how we can do better. “We educate and mentor those around us about the effort involved and all the safety factors involved with working on scaffolds. “We treat everyone on our team as family, and that extends to the people around us, including our clients,” he explains. Brandon says it’s important that every one of those team members “feels like they belong.” Brandon Marton, CEO of the Hinton Group of companies, credits that recognition to how they treat their customers and their high standard of planning and organization.Ĭurrently, they have three offices across Canada with a team of 28 people between them, and that number is quickly growing.
HSS has only been around a few years, but they have already been recognized by their clients, governments, and industry peers for their dedication to delivering high-quality, technology-backed scaffolding services.īased on customer opinion, HSS was the winner of their category in Toronto Central at this year’s Consumer Choice Awards. Backed by decades of experience in some of Canada’s toughest environments, and armed with a progressive approach to technology, their goal is to bring the highest standards of safety, workmanship and efficiency to their projects. This employee-driven program allows us to stay on the cutting edge of safety through continuous improvement.Hinton Scaffold Solution (HSS) is an award-winning company providing scaffold design and planning, erection, dismantling, inspection, and consulting services to the North American construction industry. Through the EIS, employees are empowered and obligated to stop work whenever they think an unsafe condition exists.
This kaizen-based system identifies potential hazards associated with the environment, projects and work practices, allowing us to anticipate and prevent accidents by coaching employees on correct behaviors. A proactive, behavioral-based process, the EIS helps prevent poor decisions in the hazard recognition and control process. BrandSafway's Employee Intervention System (EIS) was developed to stop accidents before they happen.
