The Problem

A large manufacturer with more than 2,000 employees ran safety, training, and contractors on three separate systems. That meant three bills, three logins, and the same data typed in more than once. Contractor badges, training sign-offs, and approvals all ran through manual steps that ate up hours every week.

What We Did

We moved all three systems onto Proact EHS. Then we built the tools their team asked for:

  • Contractors: contractor management, a training system (LMS) for contractors, badge approval and distribution, and badges that fill in automatically from a template
  • Training: in-class training tracked right inside the LMS
  • Leadership and safety team: custom analytics, bulletins, and multi-layered workflows for approvals, assigned forms, and incident tracking

The Results

Workflows and badge templates save 40 of the 90 hours a week
  • Multi-layered workflows20 hrs/wk · $41,600/yr
  • Automatic badge templates20 hrs/wk · $41,600/yr
  • Contractor management10 hrs/wk · $20,800/yr
  • Contractor LMS10 hrs/wk · $20,800/yr
  • Badge approval & distribution10 hrs/wk · $20,800/yr
  • In-class training tracker10 hrs/wk · $20,800/yr
  • Custom analytics5 hrs/wk · $10,400/yr
  • Bulletins5 hrs/wk · $10,400/yr

Hours saved per week by feature, as reported by the client. Yearly value = hours × 52 weeks × $40/hr.

The time savings show up on all sides: the safety team, the managers who approve things, and the employees and contractors who used to wait on them. At a conservative $40 an hour, those hours are worth $187,200 a year. Add the $24,000 in dropped software costs and the total is $211,200 a year.

“The ProactEHS system is extremely flexible when it comes to providing notifications and automating workflows and documentation. Providing an instant communication channel for large populations is fast and easy. Providing analytics on all data within the system is effortless.”

Mark “Tony” Ziegler, HSSE Supervisor
