How Chubb overcame inefficient manual processes
A significant challenge for Kinan and his team was the amount of time required to manage manual processes. They were previously reliant on a paper and Excel-based system for all their safety needs and key performance indicators.
Considerable time and resources were consumed by this cumbersome process. This resulted in inefficiency and the inability to scale their program. Employees also felt a lack of motivation to log and record inspections on paper due to the time-consuming process.
Another challenge was connecting a team of hundreds of technicians who all work remotely. Relying on paper made it difficult to follow up on activities. Information would often be stale by the time it reached the management team and communicating information or receiving real-time updates from the field was difficult.
“It was time consuming, resource consuming and not efficient for a dynamic team like Chubb,” said Kinan.
“Information has to flow directly from management to all remote workforces to instantly communicate documents, lessons learned, and training materials. Chubb’s work is based on remote teams, and we needed an efficient system that allows information to flow back to headquarters where we can analyze the day-to-day work that has been done.

Why Chubb chose EcoOnline
Kinan knew a paper-based system would not be sustainable for the long term. He recognized it was time to look for a digital safety solution which would help to streamline processes. In the fall of 2018, he was introduced to EcoOnline and never looked back.
“From the very first demo, EcoOnline caught our eye,” Kinan said. “It was exactly what we were looking for.”
How EHS software helped Chubb employees simplify their daily tasks
After nine months, EcoOnline was fully rolled out to Chubb’s EHS teams and technicians. To create greater employee buy-in, they held monthly meetings and webinars to introduce and explain the benefits of this new digital tool and how it would help make their jobs easier.
The mobile application helped to empower the teams, as they could complete their work without interruption while out on the field. This created greater accountability among the workforce as all safety activities were now tracked and linked to a scorecard.

Greater savings in time and cost
Chubb has also seen greater savings in time and cost with everything housed in one, easily accessible solution. Kinan calculated a 56% reduction in administrative time required.
This also helped them streamline their teams, therefore cutting costs. With everything in one location, Chubb has gained greater transparency into their safety activities.
Increased insights with real-time data
With greater transparency into their safety activities, Chubb were able to build a scorecard that showcases key information for the business.
This included data on inspection completion rates and statuses, training completion rates, safety profiles for every employee, documents which have been read, and much more.
This allowed Kinan and his teams the ability to quickly pinpoint any areas of weakness and also to be proactive in strengthening them.
More proactive safety, less messy paperwork
“EcoOnline is an inclusive tool for health and safety, where training, inspections, action items, and more are all in one place. We can rely on this tool to help us manage risks,” said Kinan.

Laying the foundations for a strong safety culture
“Our technicians are the spine of the company,” Kinan said. “They are our most valuable asset due to the experience they have and their passion for their work.”
Chubb can now connect a remote workforce of hundreds of technicians with the help of one digital solution. Information flows between management and the frontlines with ease, so management can keep up with all activities as they happen and quickly communicate any necessary updates or changes.
Chubb have also received their Certificate of Recognition (COR) in Alberta. The EcoOnline solution has helped to maintain Chubb’s certification as it has supported the team in complying with COR program requirements and implementing corrective actions for uncovered COR non-conformances. It has also streamlined the process of sharing records and data with the external auditor.
One of the most notable impacts is building the right environment to help cement a stronger safety culture. The workforce is now aware of the part they play in safety and the value that brings to creating a safer workplace.
