Kier, a construction company, needed a practical solution to the environmental monitoring of its significant aspects to ensure that risk areas were adequately managed
Scafftag, a Brady Company, with input from Kier’s in-house environmental manager, developed a series of bespoke tags that communicate important environmental monitoring information and were directly linked to the Kier’s relevant procedures via QR code.
Challenges:
Prior to the Enviro-tag being used, records of environmental monitoring were kept in SHE files within the site office at every construction site.
Such documents were often reviewed during inspections and audits but did not sufficiently address monitoring of vital environmental risk areas out on site.
Moreover, these documents did not provide evidence that monitoring had been undertaken in-situ next to the risk area.
Solutions:
Working together with Kier, a custom Enviro-tag suite was developed. Enviro-tags include a holder that can easily be fastened to near-by fences or posts, and replaceable inserts that can log inspections; frequency dependent on risk level.
