The mission<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kokosing takes safety very seriously, and feels that, \u201cOne incident is toomany.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, after they had a lockout\/tagout related injury, they saw an immediate need to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They needed a simple and scalable lockout\/tagout tool that could be accessible for their employees across 20 different job sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kokosing materials had an extensive LOTO library, but it was only accessible from one place: Their HSE Director\u2019s computer. Chuck Mull was a \u201cone-man show\u201d when it came to safety and LOTO at the time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Field iD made Kokosing\u2019s 900+ LOTO documents \/ procedures accessible to 35 frontline users, across 20 different job sites.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crucial procedures were no longer limited to a single computer. They were now on everyone\u2019s smartphones and in their pockets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Field iD also made it easier to train new employees by ensuring that all employees have access to the proper LOTO procedures, whether it\u2019s their 1st week on thejob or their 50th. Kokosing is also able to make quick and easy updates, such as changes to the way they put a new air cylinder on, or a different wayof locking a retainer ball valve out. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t <\/section>\n\n
