What Merit EHS does

MeritEHS is a privately held, cloud-based Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) SaaS platform founded in 2018 and headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. The company builds software specifically for construction and maintenance firms, replacing paper-based incident logs, spreadsheets, and fragmented PDF/Word safety documentation with a mobile-first platform accessible from smartphones, tablets, or computers. Core modules include incident tracking with automatic OSHA 300A report generation, customizable mobile safety inspections, SDS catalog management, employee certification tracking with QR-code badge verification, corrective action management, equipment check-in/out tracking, and safety meeting mass communication via text and email.

The product portfolio expanded significantly between 2021 and 2023 with the addition of a Subcontractor Database, Automatic Pre-Qualification Metrics based on OSHA 300A data points, Jobsite-level Job Safety Analysis (JSA) reporting, and a Subcontractor Geo-Location Map with categorical filters. A COINS construction-software data import integration supports migration from legacy systems. The platform's technical differentiators center on configurable workflows, customizable inspection forms, and vertical-specific subcontractor management rather than horizontal safety tooling.

MeritEHS operates a hybrid go-to-market combining self-serve signup via app.meritehs.com with sales-assisted Calendly demos, supplemented by a paid referral program ($25 lead bounty, $500 conversion credit) targeting construction firms with 20+ employees. Pricing is a published monthly subscription of $290 for up to 10 standard users plus $29 per additional user, with unlimited free corrective-action users. Named customers include Wayne Brothers Companies, Crowder Construction, and Morgan-Keller Construction, all featured as homepage client spotlights. The company has 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding, and operates exclusively in the U.S. market.
