Kordia To Deploy ComOps Best Practice Safety and Risk Management Platform
Announcement posted by ComOps 01 Feb 2012
Sydney, 1 February 2012 – ComOps, a leading Australian provider of business software products and services, has won a competitive tender to deploy its Salvus safety, risk and claims management software solution at Kordia, one of Australia’s largest telecommunications systems integration service delivery organisations.
Salvus will replace the organisation’s existing manual Excel spreadsheet, database and paper-based system for recording workplace incidents and hazards which was unable to keep up with the company’s fast paced growth. At the same time, Salvus will enable Kordia to efficiently handle the tracking of incident and hazard reporting on behalf of its workforce, many of whom are located in regional and remote areas.
“We selected Salvus following a comprehensive market review and recognised that it was the clear leader in terms of its rich functionality, ease of use and support for overall WHS compliance. We also realised the positive impact which Salvus has achieved for complementary industry organisations and concluded that it would be a perfect fit for a telecommunications company,” says Richard Nederkoorn, National QSE (Quality, Safety and Environment) Manager, Kordia Solutions.
Once fully deployed, Salvus will provide Kordia management with increased visibility into incident reporting which will greatly improve corporate governance, reduce the possibility of negligence or potential litigation, and maintain compliance with work safety practices and quality standards accreditation. These include Kordia’s compliance with existing accreditations to ISO 9001 Quality, ISO 14001 Environment and AS 4801 OHS management systems.
Salvus provides a singular format to assess risk and capture incident details, including mandatory fields to guarantee information validity. Its ad hoc reporting and graph generators provide for fast, custom reporting. The software also includes a central system that provides access to documents from remote locations.
Senior management will benefit from being able to access up-to-date information at any time, a direct result of the more timely reporting of QSE incidents. Salvus also automatically notifies designated divisional staff to an incident or hazard when necessary, so they can then analyse the quality, safety and environment issues at hand, in terms of where incidents arise and take steps to mitigate any incidents or hazards.
Kordia specialises in designing, building and maintaining challenging and critical telecommunications systems and employs more than 750 engineers, operations and maintenance experts. It also has access to more than 1,000 contractors across Australia. The company intends to recruit hundreds of new staff in the next few months.
“Salvus is a product from a reputable, successful company and is an integral part of our strategy to become Australia’s leading service provider of telecommunications and wireless network services. Ultimately, it will give management greater visibility into the overall WHS performance of the business with senior directors getting instantaneous information on operations. We have a solid track record of innovative, industry-recognised solutions and Salvus will assist us to maintain our market leadership moving forward,” says Mr Nederkoorn.
Kordia will commence deployment of Salvus in early 2012.
