Requirements

Safety Network Global, Appzouk's collaborative consulting partner wanted us to design a comprehensive, unified digital solution that could help them proactively facilitate the best practices in construction safety compliance management.

Challanges

The efficiency of the work processes was greatly affected due to a dated management process that lacked the ability to smoothly comply with the safety standards.

The organization depended mostly on manual procedures. It did not have a digitalized solution that could holistically streamline and coordinate workflow, while simultaneously abiding by the safety and health rules.

As a result, the client had to face quite a lot of challenges.

Firstly, safety compliance management became exhaustive, broken, and expensive. The renewal time of Occupational Standard Safety Certificates could not be tracked. The same was the case for Quality issues and accidents.

The important details of employees like attendance, current task and hospitalization records, etc. weren't managed efficiently which caused a lot of confusion. For instance, if an accident takes place, it would take eons for the company to collect the related records which would eventually be too late and losses will have to be incurred.

Secondly, the communication management process was slow, fragmented, and ineffective. Information could not be passed efficiently and therefore the tasks were not streamlined. The inspection and assessment of tasks in accordance with guidelines were not as efficient as expected.

Thirdly, the conventional procedures brought a delay in getting the approval for certain work. The list of tasks that needed approval wasn’t managed and tracked effectively. Consequentially the workflow would get affected.

Solution: iSafety, a Safety Compliance Management Platform

Using Appzouk, we built iSafety, a fully customized
digital platform that would help the company overcome the numerous challenges.
