Aptia Case Study - Global Energy Company Workplace Safety Compliance Software
For our global energy client, we created a work area safety auditing software application
that dramatically increased the engagement of the client's employees, lowered lost
time due to accidents and contributed to their winning numerous safety awards across
many divisions and disciplines.
Industry Background
Management of employee safety data is a critical function for oil and gas operations
and in many other related industries. The growing use of contract labor makes it
an even tougher challenge to ensure a safe working environment and to meet industry
and regulatory guidelines. This was the case for our client, a major energy company,
when they came to Aptia Systems for a custom software solution to enhance workplace
safety.
The Client's Challenge
Across multiple facilities with tens of thousands of workers, our client required
its employees to report potential workplace safety risks on paper forms that were
then manually audited by management. While the audit clearly identified potential
safety hazards, the tedious entry and documentation process was a deterrent for
employees to actively engage and participate in the process. Our client wanted to
increase employee participation and make the process more effective and efficient.
Aptia's Custom Software Solution: A Work Area Self Audit Software Application
We worked with our client to develop an efficient business process software solution
that helped our client to connect, integrate and accelerate its workplace safety
compliance initiative reaching 45,000 participants across 28 member companies. As
a direct result of this simple to use, custom software application, our client has
consistently received recognition for its safety initiative with a marked reduction
in number of days missed due to on the job injuries.
