How Neptune Plumbing Elevated Safety Culture with Ving

For more than 70 years, Neptune Plumbing has built a rock-solid reputation across Northeast Ohio in commercial plumbing—serving industries from healthcare to higher education. Today, under the leadership of President Adam Wallenstein, Neptune Plumbing isn’t just delivering expert craftsmanship—they’re leading with safety.

“We’ve always prioritized craftsmanship and customer trust. But as our teams grew and spread out, staying consistent with communication and safety training became a challenge,” Adam shares.

His role involves strategy, operations, and supporting teams in the office and out in the field. A key part of that support? Making sure every employee has the tools, training, and clarity to work safely and effectively.

The Challenge: Getting Safety Info to the Right People—Fast

Before Ving, Neptune Plumbing faced a familiar problem:

• Safety updates were shared in in-person meetings
• Training documentation lived on paper
• Communication across job sites was often slow and inconsistent
  
  

“We wanted to deliver safety training that was timely, engaging, and measurable—but our system just couldn’t keep up,” Adam explains.

Like many construction companies, Neptune needed something more than meetings and memos. They needed micro-learning, mobile access, and data-backed accountability.

Enter Ving: A Digital Upgrade to a Cultural Value

Safety has always been core to Neptune’s identity. But now, the team wanted to make it a daily habit, not a quarterly meeting.

“Ving checked all the boxes. It felt purpose-built for companies like ours—committed to safety but needing scalable tools to make it happen.”

From onboarding to rollout, Ving impressed:

• Easy, intuitive interface
• Customizable for Neptune’s goals
• Seamless communication across field and office
  
  

“The support from the Ving team has been incredible. They understood the realities of the construction industry and helped us tailor content for our crews.”

From Messaging Tool to Training Engine

Ving started as a way to share company updates and reminders. But it quickly became much more:

• Toolbox Talks now go through Ving, ensuring standardized delivery and tracking.
• Safety micro-learnings are delivered in short, focused bursts—keeping key topics top-of-mind.
• Field access via text and mobile helps crews stay engaged without disrupting their workday.
  
  

“Ving has become an integrated part of our training and safety culture—keeping our teams connected, informed, and engaged.”

Measurable Impact: Communication + Compliance + Culture

Improved Compliance

Toolbox Talks and micro-learning sessions are completed more consistently, with participation tracked in real time.

“Supervisors can now follow up easily. That visibility has helped reduce repeat safety issues.”

Faster, More Effective Communication

What once took days now takes minutes. Critical updates reach every employee instantly.

“Ving helped us move from reactive to proactive—anticipating issues before they happen.”

Cultural Shift: Safety is Now a Daily Touchpoint

Initially, adoption was slow. But clear expectations, recognition, and repetition changed that.

“Now, crews see the value. They like the short, straightforward content and how it fits into their day.”

The biggest win? Safety and communication are no longer separate tasks—they’re part of how Neptune operates every day.

Real Example: Instant Protocol Rollout, Company-Wide

When Neptune needed to roll out new safety protocols, they didn’t rely on word-of-mouth or wait for the next site meeting.

“With Ving, we sent out short videos and updates to everyone within a day.”

• Comprehension was tracked instantly
• Procedures were implemented immediately
• Downtime and confusion were eliminated

“That moment showed us how powerful Ving really is—as both a communication and accountability tool.”

Celebrating Safety the Neptune Way

At Neptune Plumbing, recognition matters.

• Engaged Ving users receive gift cards, shoutouts, and team perks
• Company-wide wins are shared proudly—including a zero recordable incidents milestone over 3 years
• Every employee received a commemorative t-shirt to mark the occasion

“Moments like that show why tools like Ving matter. They keep safety at the forefront—and help turn engagement into real results.”
