The Operational Excellence team have recently developed a new ‘smart’ notification tool called StartSafe, to enable colleagues to visually see how many NMHAs, VFLs and structural items are open/have been completed on a given site.

The tool, developed in PowerBI, has been optimised for mobile/tablet view and sends a weekly ‘Start your week safely’ notification. Being quick and very easy to use, the visual tool is updated weekly, and is ideal for checking first thing on a Monday before site visits. It will hopefully encourage more managers to visit sites with low VFL and NMHA numbers, or high overdue structural survey items. The tool also contains a link to the weekly Health & Safety report.

Currently the tool has been rolled out to Readymix Operations Managers, Readymix General & Commercial Managers, Aggregates Operations Managers, Quarry Managers, Assistant Quarry Managers, the Operational Excellence team and Health & Safety team members.

If you are interested in using the tool you can access it here. The link takes you to the StartSafe dashboard plus a quick tour of the tool.
