Specialist transporter moves to unify and enhance its management of safety, health and environment-related data…
Specialist bulk solids and hazardous materials transporter Scott Corporation ComOps is to deploy the risk management and safety compliance software from ComOps.
Scott Corporation will use the ComOps AWS software to unify and enhance its management of safety, health and environment related data throughout the company’s 15 Australian offices and two operating divisions. The centralised system will integrate numerous existing in-house developed databases and is expected to help the company mitigate risk and more readily comply with health and safety-related requirements.
“With ComOps we are centralising and automating much of our incident reporting, occupational health and safety reporting to assist us in reducing risks and managing incidents. We expect this to increase safety visibility and accountability, and to improve our opportunities for preventative action,” says Scott Corporation’s information systems manager, Ross Pavey.
Built-in workflows will support Scott Corporation staff and management from initial incident notification through to remedial action, escalation if required and resolution. The software will track all activity to ensure responsibilities are met.
The solution will also be used to monitor and manage staff, contractor and equipment certification records.
“We need to know which trucks are certified to handle certain hazardous cargoes and which drivers have the right certifications to match,” Pavey says.
