Case Study: AmeriGas achieves a 25% reduction in employee and vehicle accidents and real-time EHS visibility with Dakota Software ProActivity

AmeriGas Empowers Employees to Make Continual Safety Improvements

AmeriGas Partners, one of the largest U.S. propane companies serving 1.3 million customers, faced significant safety and compliance challenges from transporting pressurized liquid propane across 600+ distribution centers and a 100M-mile truck fleet. A patchwork EHS program—compounded by acquisitions, inconsistent training and procedures, and fragmented paper and local records—made regulatory response and enterprise-wide compliance difficult, prompting senior management to refocus on world-class safety performance.

AmeriGas implemented Dakota Software’s ProActivity® SaaS to centralize requirements, provide real-time dashboard reporting, automate alerts, and assign and track corrective actions. The system produced more consistent, accurate data and visibility for managers, enabled deeper incident analysis, and focused attention on outstanding safety items—contributing to a 25% reduction in employee and vehicle accidents in fiscal year 2009.
