Case Study: Georgia-Pacific achieves 2,500 annual hours saved per plant and 100% safety audit participation with Certainty Software

Georgia Pacific Saves 2500 Hours per Plant Annually with Certainty Software

Georgia-Pacific, a major pulp and paper manufacturer, struggled with time-consuming weekly safety audits at its Gurdon facility: Safety Supervisors spent at least 8 hours a week tracking people down and collating audit reports, making data collection and reporting a recurring headache. To address this, Georgia-Pacific adopted Certainty Software’s audit and reporting solution for more efficient safety data management.

Certainty Software was rapidly deployed with vendor guidance and support, allowing Georgia-Pacific to collect, manage and report over 200 safety audits per week, provide immediate, manager-specific feedback, and maintain 100% audit participation. The solution saves roughly 50+ manhours per week (about 2,500 hours per plant annually and ~$50,000 per year at the facility), improves timeliness of safety management, and delivers user-friendly, cost-effective reporting backed by responsive Certainty Software support.
