INITIAL SITUATION
Checking that the first aid kits are properly stocked throughout the factory premises is an integral part of the annual safety inspection. Ideally, all prescribed contents are available in all first-aid kits at all times. Permanent control is very time-consuming. Difficulties arise if, in the course of the next audit, it is determined that the process was not implemented consistently and this circumstance is recorded with a secondary non-compliance. The biggest problem is when, at the time of an accident at work, the necessary material is not included and optimal help cannot be provided. BOOSTRACK is happy to take on this task for you and makes sure that your first aid kits are always up to date.
ANALYSIS BY BOOSTRACK
In a customer project, our task was to check a total of 64 first-aid kits spread across the entire factory premises and several halls. Until then, this process was carried out by our customer, who planned a weekly manual visual inspection. Due to limited capacity and a lack of substitution regulations, the task could not be implemented as planned. As a result, only some of the first aid kits were able to meet all the requirements of an audit.
BY ESTABLISHING THE BOOST SYSTEM, WE WERE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO OUR CUSTOMER THAT ALL FIRST AID KITS ARE PROPERLY FILLED. CONTROL AND MAINTENANCE OPTIMALLY EQUIPPED FOR THE NEXT SAFETY AUDIT
IMPLEMENTATION
In order to reduce the amount of work and to document the correct implementation, a system had to be found that would report when the first aid kits were opened. With our BOOST. button, we have found a way to display access with low investment costs. As soon as a box is opened, the employee presses the button. With this click, the timely refill is initiated. The filling of the first-aid kits is carried out today by BOOSTRACK staff. In addition, the filler receives a weekly listing of all open crates. This means that he does not have to check all 64 boxes again, but only those that have actually been opened. To be on the safe side, all boxes are also checked at regular intervals.
OPERATION AND ONGOING OPTIMIZATION
The concept has already contributed to a significant improvement in the situation, but it is sometimes the case that the BOOST.Button is forgotten in the hectic of the accident situation and is only noticed during the monthly check. Until then, the refill will not take place. We are currently developing the BOOST.Button further and are planning a version with an inverted switch. The button is on the inside of the first aid kit door and is triggered when it is opened and transmitted automatically.
MEASURABLE SUCCESS
By establishing the BOOST system, we were able to help our customer to ensure that all first aid kits are properly filled. The time between removing the material and refilling it has decreased significantly. In the event of an accident, employee safety is guaranteed.
