Case Study: a North American oil and gas company improves contractor safety and access management with HID Global HID SAFE

HID SAFE™ Solves a Complex Contractor Workforce Challenge

A North American oil and gas company, with a workforce comprised of 60% contractors, faced significant challenges managing the complex safety and access requirements for this diverse population. Their manual processes for validating training, certifications, and document completion were slow and error-prone, causing delays of up to 48 hours for contractor onboarding and reducing productivity. They partnered with HID Global to find an automated solution for these physical identity and access management hurdles.

HID Global implemented its HID SAFE solution to centrally manage all contractor physical identities and access requirements. The platform automated the pre-registration and verification processes, ensuring only fully vetted contractors received access badges. This solution minimized risk, achieved superior compliance, and provided approximately $10 million in annual savings by automating physical access management for over 95% of the company's 12,000 contractors.
