BESIX Group, a leading Belgian industrial group, operates globally in construction, property development, and concessions. Managing their Environmental, Health and Safety (HSE) processes through various tools led to inefficiencies, data silos, and unreliable data transfer.
Key Points:
- Required a complex, configurable platform that could operate across five continents and in multiple languages.
- Established a centralised system for accurate and consistent data to inform safety practices.
- Able to easily present safety history, proof of training, or data to meet client demands.
- Evaluated 11 different HSE vendors before choosing HSI.
- Implemented 60 outbound data feeds, with six (and growing) inbound interfaces, plus SSO and business intelligence reporting.
BESIX identified the need for a centralised HSE system capable of efficiently managing data across diverse projects, ensuring data integrity, and maintaining compliance with regional and legal standards. A user-friendly solution that could accommodate the complexity and scale of their projects was essential.
BESIX adopted HSI's platform to streamline their HSE and ESG processes. Known internally as OASIS, the system has quickly become integral to their operations, with over 1,400 active users across multiple continents. OASIS offers 23 applications to meet a wide range of HSE needs, making it highly configurable and easy to use.
The HSI platform has allowed BESIX to standardise their processes on a global scale, resulting in increased incident and observation reporting. This unified data provides valuable insights that enhance safety practices. With improved reporting and data management, BESIX has gained a competitive advantage in project bidding due to their robust HSE management. The transition to HSI's unified HSE platform has significantly improved data reliability and reporting efficiency, boosting safety and compliance across their extensive projects. This transformation has not only streamlined their operations but also positioned BESIX for future growth and success.
“Now that we have this treasure trove of information from all our projects, we can process that data in real time, identify our problem areas, and pro-actively put our focus on the highest risks before incidents happen. The safety part has always played a role in winning bids. With HSI, we now have a tool that allows us to capture this data. Having this type of information will help us in the tender process around the world.”
