CHANDLER, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2026 / McCormick Systems, provider of leading MEP takeoff and estimating software and part of the Foundation Software business portfolio, has published a new article on construction safety management's impact on successful bidding.

The link between estimating and safety runs deep. A strong safety record affects EMR, insurance rates and prequalification scores - the same factors that determine which jobs a contractor is even eligible to bid on. Managing both sides of that equation has typically meant stitching together disconnected systems.

The resource, "McCormick Users: Exploring SafetyHQ® for Construction Safety Management," looks at how SafetyHQ, a construction safety app and part of the Foundation Software portfolio alongside McCormick, gives MEP contractors a purpose-built way to manage safety alongside their estimating work.

In the article, contractors will learn how SafetyHQ can help them:

Centralize Toolbox Talks, inspections and safety forms in one mobile app

Track certifications and maintain OSHA-required injury and illness logs

Access millions of Safety Datasheets and speed up incident reporting in the field

Build a safety record that can lower your EMR and strengthen prequalification reviews

Contractors who read the article will come away with a clearer picture of how strong safety management supports long-term estimating success - helping them stay eligible for the jobs they want to bid while protecting the crews who do the work.
