Codify increases HSE awareness for local logistics client
Aberdeen-based software solutions company, Codify, recently
completed a contract worth £20,000 to develop an advanced HSEQ
monitoring system for local logistics company ASCO. The project
lasted nine months, and produced a system which records, reports
and analyses HSEQ incidents, significantly increasing the
visibility of such information throughout the organisation.
Graeme Humphrey, Operations Manager of Codify comments: "Having
worked with us before on previous projects, ASCO approached us with
the remit to provide a HSEQ monitoring system specific to their
needs, which would enhance the robust HSEQ process already in
place."
IT Manager at ASCO, Brian Docherty, says: "We identified a need
to invest in our HSEQ software in order to improve the visibility
of information and share learning throughout the company, by
improving both local and international access. Our original HSEQ
process was very reliable and we wanted a system specifically
tailored to ASCO to support that. We were confident that Codify
would provide the innovative technology required for such a
process."
The user-friendly, web-based system developed by Codify
increases the opportunity for improved safety performance levels,
through shared learning and an action tracking process. Director of
HSEQ at ASCO, Albert Pumfrett, explains: "Health, safety, quality
and environmental events are entered in the system, and logged as
incidents that need addressing. The new software allows us to
delegate and track responsibilities amongst staff. Automatically
generated progress prompts ensure that targets and deadlines for
completion of investigations and corrective actions are met."
"The HSE web application is interesting because it allows each
end-user to create a personalised view of the HSE data and provides
a live to-do list of incidents that each user has to action or
monitor," explains Graeme. "We employed Microsoft's newest end-user
ad-hoc reporting tool, which has proven to be a very powerful
technology that provides end-users with simple access to data
without requiring specialist skills."
Albert adds, "There are already more than 100 members of staff
using the system and one major benefit is the amount of time saved
on administrative tasks, which frees us up to focus on HSEQ
performance rather than the generation of statistics."
