Case Study: Tamworth Regional Council improves machinery compliance with Ideagen Plant Assessor

How we've helped Tamworth Regional Council improve its risk assessment process

Tamworth Regional Council, a large local government body in New South Wales, faced significant challenges in managing the safety and compliance of its 800-item machinery fleet. Their manual risk assessment process was sluggish, taking a week per machine, and they struggled to keep up with complex legislative changes. This outdated system was flawed and created potential safety risks. They turned to the vendor, Ideagen Plant Assessor, for a solution.

By implementing Ideagen Plant Assessor, the council automated its risk management. The software provided machine-specific surveys that eliminated subjective judgments and automatically updated legislative changes. Under the coordination of a single champion, the council was able to delegate assessment tasks more broadly. The results were substantial: machinery became safe and compliant, while the time and monetary investment in risk assessments were significantly reduced. The vendor's solution also allowed for the quick identification of critical risks, minimizing downtime.
