FRISCO, Texas, March 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- HSI, a leader
in Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), compliance and
professional development solutions, and Brady Corporation (NYSE:
BRC), a world leader in complete identification solutions that help
companies improve productivity, performance, safety and security,
today announced a collaboration to bring configurable safety
management solutions (SMS) and additional services to businesses of
all sizes. This collaboration expands the reach and growth of HSI
in the EHS and SMS space and provides a new level of technology for
Brady Corporation to help organizations in safety, performance, and
environmental sustainability.
We are always striving to bring more
innovation to Brady customers, and
found the right solution and partner in HSI.
Brady Corporation recently released the
SmartCheckTM Safety Software & Management
System based on the HSI SMS. This all-in-one solution helps
businesses identify and resolve potential safety issues quickly and
effectively in a two-pronged approach. Businesses can implement SMS
modules for assessments, incidents and hazards, job hazard analysis
(JHA), job safety analysis (JSA), and more. Plus, the SmartCheck
solution integrates the SMS with Brady's label printing systems and full safety
product catalog, which allows clients to identify issues, print
labels on the spot, and resolve safety concerns immediately.
"HSI and Brady Corporation share the common goal to help
companies create a safe and productive work environment," says
Chad Birckelbaw, CEO of HSI.
"Brady Corporation's mission to be innovative and help improve
safety, security, and productivity dovetails completely with the
HSI goal of making workplaces and communities safer and smarter. We
were looking for the right partner to expand our reach in the ESG
and EHS arenas, and Brady was
looking for innovative ways to help their clients improve
productivity. It was a natural fit."
Brady's SmartCheck solution
allows organizations to digitize and automate manual processes and
puts all data in a single system for reporting. Companies that have
multiple locations and have historically had issues consolidating
data can now see everything in one place, allowing a roll-up of
information and providing insights not previously seen. The system
saves employee time that was previously spent writing on clipboards
then manually transferring that information to a spreadsheet,
emailing it, and hoping someone reviews and responds.
Automated workflows detect trends and trigger action plans, alert
and assign tasks to workers, and allow managers to address gaps or
non-compliance. The mobile nature of the system allows people to
work where they are. And all checklists, forms, or other
paper-based processes can be easily digitized so workers don't have
to change their daily routines.
"We are always striving to bring more innovation to our
customers, and we looked for a long time for the right solution and
partner," stated Peter Budney,
Director of Global Product Management of Brady Corporation. "We
found HSI to be the highest rated safety software. They have a
complete solution that is highly configurable and easy to use. Our
customers continuously search for better ways of tracking data,
streamlining outdated processes, and improving the work
environment, and we knew we had the unique ability to bring them
something new to help."
The growing need for improved processes in health and safety and
beyond is compelling organizations to look for better ways of
inputting and tracking data, improving safety, creating a better
work environment, and facilitating business continuity. Traditional
paper and spreadsheet-based processes have led to a lack of
information, which prevents organizations from getting better.
Moving to a digital, configurable tool allows employees top to
bottom to have better insight into hazards, near misses, incidents,
and more so companies can get ahead of properly addressing safety
issues.
With its latest capital investment by Waud Capital Partners, HSI
continues to invest in strategic growth partnerships that further
its mission of making workplaces and communities safer, empowering
employee development, and simplifying business compliance.
