Mill Prevents Covid-19 Outbreak & Continues Operations - Case Study

Situation
When the Covid-19 pandemic began, businesses large and small had to move quickly to protect their workforce. By April 2020, widespread government mandates and regulations were put in place for companies to remain operational. The first hurdle for businesses was the sudden need for logging employee temperatures, symptoms, travel to hotspots, Covid-19 exposure, and communicating mask and social distancing requirements. As the Covid-19 situation evolved, the mandates and regulations did too. This created the second hurdle for businesses, adapting systems to the constant changes in requirements. However, a building materials mill located in the northeastern U.S. with a safety team of 31 people promptly adapted to this “new normal”. They looked to the Redlist HSE software they had been using for 18 months before the Covid-19 pandemic for a solution. The safety team had previously used the HSE software for incident management, safety observation reporting, safety equipment inspections, operational equipment inspections, area inspections and audits, and training validation. Yet, they knew they would need that extra support to manage the new Covid-19 requirements, stay operational, and, most importantly, keep their workforce safe and healthy.
