EcoOnline’s EHS software allows them to connect and communicate with line managers in the most effective way possible. Now, important communications reach the people that need to see them faster and more efficiently.

The Challenge

NG Bailey were facing three main communication hurdles when it came to their health & safety procedures: continuity, accuracy, and access to information. These issues made it more challenging to maintain safety standards across multiple projects. It was clear that an integrated solution to improve the flow, quality, and accessibility of information was needed.

The Solution

The EcoOnline team worked closely with NG Bailey to thoroughly scope the project. EcoOnline then designed a robust EHS software solution that best fit their needs and was easy to use for frontline workers and management. A new system only adds value if employees feel confident using it, so a crucial step in this process was User Acceptance Testing (UAT). It was vital to make sure everything was practical, reliable, and ready for the team before full deployment.

The Impact

Now, NG Bailey benefits from a centralized solution that makes it easier than ever to manage health and safety information across all projects.

Continuity and accuracy in safety reporting

EcoOnline’s centralized, cloud-based software means all compliance data is managed and shared uniformly. With accurate information easily accessible, teams can ensure consistent reporting, streamline incident management, and adhere to workplace policies. This approach enhances compliance and empowers teams to react swiftly on safety matters.
