Case Study: Smiths Group achieves major safety gains and reduced recordable injury rate with Ideagen EHS

Smiths Significantly Reduces Its Recordable Injury Rate by Leveraging ProcessMAP’s EHS Cloud-software and Mobile Solutions

Smiths Group PLC, a London‑headquartered diversified manufacturer with 350+ locations and 22,000+ employees, faced fragmented safety systems and inconsistent EHS data that produced high incident rates and a reactive safety culture. The lack of standardized data management and unified safety controls made it difficult to identify environmental and operational risks and drove operational inefficiencies.

In 2012 Smiths implemented ProcessMAP’s cloud EHS platform (PRISM) via an Agile, phased rollout with mobile-enabled tools and modules for incident management, audits, behavior-based safety, risk assessment, chemical and learning management, and analytics. The solution improved CAPA and JSA workflows and delivered measurable results: a 77% reduction in high‑risk hazards in one year, a 180% increase in on‑time closure of findings (4 years), a 94% increase in on‑time audit CAPA closures (3 years), and a 108% increase in on‑time calendar action closures (5 years).
