BOS Solutions - Data-Driven Improvements in Safety and Quality

BOS Solutions, a liquid solids separation organization in the oil and gas and environmental solutions industry, suffered from a lack of visibility into performance because of siloed data produced by a dispersed workforce. As a result, they lacked safety or quality statistics to share easily, or in some cases, at all. It was difficult to report on compliance standards and much more. At this point BOS Solutions knew it was time to change their paper process, go digital and start using data to their advantage. 

Aligned with an organizational cultural change, BOS set out to improve the health of their data by standardizing and digitizing inspections in one, collective system. The SafetyCulture platform offered the perfect solution.  Since introducing this platform to their safety process, the value of the system has become manifestly clear. 

“Before SafetyCulture, we had some processes in place, but they were all paper-based, not robust. We had no real visibility company-wide and information was siloed in different areas. It was extremely difficult to track and prove past compliance by regurgitating past data.” Gary Bonnett- Director, Quality, Health and Safety Environment (QHSE)

BOS also uses SafetyCulture to address corrective and preventative actions all the way to completion, which has closed the process loop, allowing items to be accomplished more efficiently and quickly. SafetyCulture’s intuitive interface allowed BOS employees to start using it immediately. Trends in data quickly emerged, allowing the QHSE team to improve areas of the business and the bottom line right away.

The information that BOS Solutions has collected since using SafetyCulture has saved time, money and will reduce the company’s workers compensation premium by $80,000 this year. It has increased the transparency of BOS’s quality and safety management system. As a result Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR), has decreased by 56% since implementation and the organization can now quantify the longevity of equipment from insights into preventative maintenance data.
