Challenge

The safety team at OilStates Industries were relying on paper and Excel spreadsheets to record their safety data. This was proving to be both inefficient and costly for Jim Dunsmuir (former QHSE Manager) and the H&S team. It also led to several other challenges for the business:

  • The lack of a centralized solution meant that risk assessments, audits, checklists, training records, accident/ incident reports and plant records remained separate and scattered.

  • A paper focused system meant that keeping track of training records and viewing training compliance for multiple sites was not easy.


Solution

The modules in the EcoOnline software system are interconnected, meaning that data is shared between them. If an incident occurs, the H&S team can quickly see what training the involved parties had, what risk assessments were performed, when a piece of plant had been inspected etc.

The EcoOnline Training module gives the H&S team a complete view of employee training throughout the entire organization. Management are kept informed of when training certificates are due to expire and whether a training course has been completed.

Now the Training Module is where we are seeing dividends"

Result

A system that grows with OilStates Industries

According to Matt Askham, UK HSE Manager, the adaptability and user-friendly nature of the EcoOnline system went a long way to encouraging its adoption with employees. As more data has been added to the system, Matt and the H&S team have a greater idea of where resources need to be concentrated and traceability has improved.

Others within the business are taking initiative with using the system, for example using the Plant Module to record repairs to machinery. This indicated to Matt and his team that more people are using the system and configuring it to suit their needs.

Successful adoption of the software has also been seen in the rolling out of the mobile app. Employees are now using the app to quickly and easily log observations, leading to an increase in live reporting.
