As the world continues to address the immediate health concerns of COVID- 19, governments and businesses are trying to manage the economic impacts. It is now more important than ever to establish effective business resilience for continuity of trade. “During these unprecedented times of uncertainty it is imperative to protect the health of workers in industry. We have teamed up with one of our global mining customers to apply the best practices of critical control management to the coronavirus risk” said Steve Wood, CEO, Forwood.

Keep People Healthy and Safe

The health of the workforce is paramount to ensure assets remain operational and in turn can continue to support local
communities and contribute to the economy. We have established a task force to help manage COVID-19 in accordance with guidance & directives from industry bodies, governments and health authorities. New COVID-19 checklists to verify critical controls have been designed with industrial application in mind and have been validated ‘on the shop floor’.

Easily Deployed

The coronavirus prevention measures and the supporting critical control management program were expedited to
more than 250 sites in less than 3 weeks. This was achievable because of Forwood’s critical risk management software solution; CRM. The solution enables rapid implementation and monitoring of any critical control on site.

Smart and Effective

Accessible on desktop and smart devices, these checklists are available in English and 8 other languages. This has enabled rapid use by both employees and contractors who in the first 3 weeks conducted over 21,000 critical control
verifications. To date compliance trends show a steady improvement in critical control effectiveness.

Generating Deep Insights

The results from thousands of verifications conducted in all corners of the globe are available in tailored dashboards and give managers full visibility of COVID-19 compliance. This enables data-driven decisions to quickly respond to key areas of improvement.

Now Available for Everyone

The checklists, which provide benefits to multiple industries, have been made available free of charge for everyone to use.  A downloadable PDF version of these checklists are available at: forwoodsafety.com/covid-19-coronavirus
