Kauno Tiltai is one of the largest infrastructure construction companies in the Baltic region, specializing in the building of roads, bridges, railways, and other transport and energy projects. The company operates across Lithuania and Latvia, with work taking place both in offices and in complex construction sites — from city squares to airports and power plants. Kauno Tiltai employs around 900 people.
Since 2021, the company has been using the Worksober solution as part of its preventive safety system, helping to ensure employee sobriety and reduce incident risks across the organization.
Case Study
How Kauno Tiltai Automated Sobriety Control and Reduced Risks with Worksober
Why the Company Chose Worksober?
In the construction industry, worker safety is a critical priority — not only because of legal requirements but also due to the real risk of accidents that can occur when employees are under the influence.
Before implementing Worksober, employees across sites registered with access cards, but sobriety checks depended on supervisors and occasional inspections. This created inconsistencies and inefficiencies.
The company sought a solution that would:
- Ensure objective and reliable sobriety control, free from human bias;
- Integrate smoothly with the company’s ERP system;
- Automate processes to save time and reduce administrative burden;
- Operate autonomously, without the need for additional personnel.
How Worksober Helped?
Automated Control
Kauno Tiltai installed stationary Worksober devices across administrative areas, production facilities, and large construction sites — all easily accessible to employees. The system works automatically: upon arrival, each worker performs a sobriety test, which simultaneously registers their attendance. If an employee skips the test, the system does not record their arrival, and the supervisor is immediately notified.
Integration and Data Management
The Worksober system is integrated with the company’s ERP platform via API connection. All sobriety and attendance data are transmitted in real time to a cloud-based platform and embedded into internal business processes. This allows managers to view accurate, centralized data on employee attendance and sobriety at any moment. In the event of an incident, documented records are instantly available.
Reduced Risk and Administrative Workload
Worksober not only reduced the likelihood of workplace accidents but also eliminated the need for unscheduled manual checks at construction sites. The system operates independently, saving safety officers and administrators significant time. Human subjectivity has been fully eliminated — as one manager noted, “you can’t accuse a computer of bias.”
Results
- Fewer incidents related to employee intoxication: automated, regular testing helped prevent unsafe situations at construction sites.
- Improved discipline: employees understand that the system applies to everyone equally and cannot be bypassed.
- Reduced need for random inspections: sobriety control is now continuous and preventive.
- Minimal administrative burden: the fully automated system saves time for both safety specialists and supervisors.
“There’s almost no human factor in the system, which means emotions and subjectivity are rare — you can’t question the device’s neutrality.”
