Solution
Identifying
The Problem
“We simply needed a better-organized safety program. We had training material and we were training our employees, but the material was not being absorbed the way it needed to be. Employees would go through the motions but I could tell they weren’t paying attention or absorbing the material...We needed a system that could save our managers time while creating greater access to safety for our field staff.”
EHS Director,
Metal Trades, Inc.
Discovering
The Solution
With Safety Plus, Metal Trades sought to:
• Utilize Safety Plus | Edge’s extensive training library to train its employees on a wide array of required topics. With required tests after all training videos, employees are held accountable for the content discussed in training.
• Efficiently keep training records up to date — records are immediately updated throughout Safety Plus | Edgewhen training is completed.
• Add their SDSs and safety manual to Employee Landing Pages, allowing constant access to vital safety information as part of their overall HAZCOM plan.
Delivering
The Results
Metal Trades implemented Safety Plus | Edge into their operations...
• In just 5 months, Metal Trades saw a 97% increase in completed training across their staff. With automatic documentation of completed training, tracking these requirements has never been easier.
• To complement their investment in Safety Plus | Edge, Metal Trades built a Training Lab for their employees to access Safety Plus | Edge training videos any time they are at the office.
• With the new system and lab in place, Metal Trades has saved countless hours of admin work. What used to take 6-7 hours per day of a manager’s time to administer training and document new employees now takes just a few minutes with Safety Plus | Edge.
