Environmental Job Safety Analysis

EnergySolutions, Salt Lake City, UT

EnergySolutions transforms a single job safety task into team collaboration

Founded in 2007, EnergySolutions is a nuclear services company headquartered in Salt Lake City with operations in more than 40 countries around the world.

Situation:

As an international leader of nuclear waste recycling and removal, EnergySolutions is focused on safely managing nuclear waste locations and remediation efforts that transform legacy waste sites. From emergency response to sustainability, EnergySolutions aims to maintain a safe work environment for their highly complicated nuclear waste projects.

"When we begin a new project, the safety managers, project managers, and other field staff all meet to gather input. Then, we create a single JHA and make unique revisions for the current project."

Challenge:

With a dispersed workforce, EnergySolutions requires job safety tools that not only help their operations staff properly assess a new situation, but also collaborate with one another to share lessons learned. “Most job hazard analysis tools have very limited functionality, because they are tied to a larger project management software”, says Nicole Seabaugh a former Safety Professional at EnergySolutions. “We are constantly changing. New projects require us to apply our broad experience and industry knowledge to unique situations, so we need tools that can evolve with us and fully maximize our intellectual capital.”

Solution:

EnergySolutions selected JHA as their job safety analyses tool for their highly dispersed workforce. “When we begin a new project, the safety managers, project managers, and other field staff all meet to gather input,” said Seabaugh. “Then, we create a single JHA and make unique revisions for the current project. From there, we can revise the JHA and share with other staff in the field. And when we need help, JHA’s customer service is topnotch. JHA is extremely responsive and always incorporates our feedback in the next software release,” said Seabaugh.
