Roseburg Forest Products: Leveraging Robust Safety Data to Reduce Risks
A pioneer in the forest products industry, Roseburg Forest Products, exemplifies what it means to effectively convert data to actionable insights. Spanning 14 manufacturing locations in the United States and Canada, with headquarters in Springfield, Oregon, EHS professionals at this dynamic organization take safety to the highest level to protect people on-site.
“EcoOnline North America was so smooth to capture the data and see it. It was simple to figure out how to make forms and didn’t take a lot of time. The flow from start to finish was easy.”

The mission
In high-risk industries like forestry and manufacturing, safety is a challenge.
Before EcoOnline North America , Roseburg’s safety professionals were unable to effectively capture or track information, relying on a paper-based system and
antiquated software.
The EHS team didn’t have great visibility into injuries that occurred, unless it resulted in a workers’ compensation claim. Pinpointing gaps in their safety
program was difficult, and achieving safety excellence was nearly impossible.
The solution
EcoOnline North America delivered on both ease of use and the ability to create and build forms.
With this solution by their side, Cassandra and John began implementing internal compliance audits, developing S.A.F.E.R. work permits, standardized monthly
training to team members, updating hot work permits, creating contractor incident and property damage forms – and that’s just the beginning.
Soon participation and engagement rates rose, and this increased engagement accelerated the culture shift needed to create a safer work environment.
“EcoOnline North America gave us the data we needed to stop being reactive. This solution let us be proactive and get ahead of injuries.”
