THE
PROBLEM: Owens Corning Safety
personnel conduct routine safety inspections for each of the
departments within the corporation. As a result of downsizing and
reduced operating budgets, the company needed to streamline the work
required to conduct the audits, issue Work Orders to correct any
problems found, follow up to insure that the issues were corrected and
produce reports summarizing the audit activities within the company.
THE SOLUTION: REAL Controls engineers developed an Environmental, Health and Safety Audit and Inspections Database using Microsoft Access 97. |
 |
|
The
new database significantly simplifies the documentation tasks required
by these inspections and the tracking of progress for correcting
problems. Any issues found are entered into the database on an exception
basis. Once the data is entered and saved, a Work Order is automatically
created and displayed for review. The user may edit the form, print it
out or e-mail it to the appropriate facilities department for
processing. A separate e-mail is also sent to the person responsible for
overseeing the corrective work. Reports summarizing the results of the
audits can be viewed on the PC screen or printed for distribution.
Reports can be summarized by location, by type of issues found, by date
or by a customized query feature. Minimal training is required in order
for personnel to start using the product. REAL Controls has also
developed a number of database management tools which assist in keeping
employee and company information in the EHS database up to date. Using
these tools the Group Leader is able to import up to date information
from electronic reports directly into the EHS Database thereby, insuring
that all of the information is current.
THE RESULTS: The new EHS Audit and Inspections database provides the Health and Safety Engineers with all of the tools they need to fully document, monitor and report on the safety inspections being conducted. This single application streamlines the recording of inspection activities, automatically issues corrective Work Orders, and produces summary reports of all EHS audit activities THE CLIENT: Owens Corning Corporation is one of the leading producers of fiberglass products in the world. The company is headquartered in Toledo, Ohio and has manufacturing facilities located throughout the United States and several other countries. Much of the companies’ engineering and technical staff is located in the Science and Technology Center in Granville, Ohio.
