For one of our customers, a Canada-based dealer of Caterpillar construction equipment and heavy machinery, safety comes first. The company sells and rents equipment to industries such as mining, construction, petroleum, and forestry, and offers a wide range of power systems applications. Founded in 1933, it employs nearly 13,000 people worldwide in locations such as Western Canada, South America, the UK, and Ireland.
As part of ensuring workforce safety, the company conducts periodic site safety audits. But in 2019, our customer realized that its manual systems were woefully outdated. While on the one hand, the time taken to address safety issues took too long, on the other, the auditing process lacked visibility.
As a result, the company — which believes in constantly improving its processes by embracing new technologies, systems, and applications — realized that it needed to automate its safety audit program to speed up the process since every minute counted when it was a matter of life and death. It implemented ComplianceQuest’s Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) Management solution to meet its needs of speed and visibility.
“It’s just like magic. Our audit time used to take up to two weeks and now it takes only a day or less.” – Project Manager, Finning
For rental equipment companies like our customer who put safety first, automation to drive collaboration is one of the first steps in risk management.
The hiring of equipment in addition to investing in infrastructure has become an essential part of running a business to keep CAPEX low without compromising on capabilities. But unlike earlier, it is no longer about just dialing a number and picking up the machine from the numerous contractors listed in the directory. For businesses that care for workplace safety, it is a matter of ensuring that rented equipment does not compromise safety. Not only is this a regulatory need but it also protects the business and its employees from untoward incidents.
Some of the factors to manage the safety risks associated with rented equipment are:
On paper, the risk assessment and management process may seem simple and straightforward. However, for rental equipment businesses supplying a variety of equipment to different customers in different geographic locations, sometimes even remote locations, keeping track of risk management of the different equipment, their documentation, and having visibility into the training of employees and processes can become challenging.
Periodic safety auditing of the equipment is also essential and requires automation to schedule and complete the process. Periodic maintenance of the equipment to make sure it is in top shape is also essential to minimize risks of breakdowns and accidents.
A safety management system such as the one from ComplianceQuest can help automate equipment risk management right from identifying the risk factors to setting risk scores, managing training, documentation, equipment maintenance, audit, and much more.
It can also empower employees to record observations and near misses and perform further root cause analysis and CAPA based on the risk level. In case of an incident, it can help with regulatory submissions by providing access to all the relevant records easily.
Ensuring employee wellness and safety is important not only from a compliance point of view, but also to improve employee engagement, productivity and to accelerate growth. For the rental business, it is also a matter of reputation and revenues as well as preventing accidents that can lead to unnecessary litigation and penalties. ComplianceQuest EHS, built on the Salesforce platform, offers a customizable, scalable, and flexible risk management solution that can enable automating all aspects of equipment rentals – from the condition of the equipment to its periodic maintenance, training of employees and end-users, document management, and so on.
