Case Study: Burris Logistics achieves OSHA Process Safety Management compliance and reduced equipment failures with eMaint CMMS

Burris Logistics Utilizes eMaint to Help Comply with OSHA Process Safety Management Regulations

Burris Logistics, a refrigerated warehousing and distribution provider in the Eastern U.S., needed to modernize maintenance after relying on cumbersome spreadsheets. Key challenges included creating a centralized parts and equipment database with complete work histories, implementing meter‑based PMs and labor tracking to reduce downtime and overtime, measuring failure rates for new equipment, and meeting OSHA Process Safety Management requirements that demand specific documentation and regular inspections.

Burris deployed eMaint CMMS across multiple facilities, creating equipment records, meter‑ and calendar‑based PM schedules (including monthly/quarterly ammonia detector checks), automated email reminders for OSHA documentation and safety meetings, and reorder notifications for critical parts. The system reduced failure risk by aligning maintenance to equipment use, improved parts availability, and supported ongoing OSHA PSM compliance through timely inspections and documented mechanical integrity.
