“The SafetyNow platform provides a complete resource of safety tools and information that is easily accessible by our employees spread throughout multiple facilities across Western Canada. It is a helpful and insightful resource for our Tool Box meetings and has paid for itself many times over through the quality of content and the time it has saved us.”

The Challenge
Eric Hansen, Safety Manager at Alberta Processing Company, needed to streamline the Tool Box meetings supervisors gave to their employees.
“It took a lot of time to put together these meetings selecting topics, researching and compiling content, then distributing it to the supervisors at multiple locations was an onerous and imperfect process. We really needed a way to simplify the meetings and integrate more interesting, relevant content into them,” says Eric.
Requirements Also Included
A resource that had complete Due Diligence documentation.
- Kept them apprised of any legal changes to ensure the safety program is compliant.
All the time spent putting together the Tool Box meetings left little time for Eric to keep apprised of the latest safety compliance legal updates.
The Solution
SafetyNow was the resource Eric was looking for.
The huge eLearning library allows a supervisor to assign eLearning activities to all employees at the click of a mouse. In addition, SafetyNow’s regular legal updates and extensive Due Diligence documentation has helped ensure supervisors like Eric remains compliant with all the latest regulations.
