Case Study: Manufacturing Company achieves dramatic accident reduction and major cost savings with Talogy's SafetyDNA for Leaders

Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

A global manufacturer of explosives serving the mining industry, operating in a high‑risk environment, faced steep direct and indirect costs from workplace incidents. With OSHA data showing indirect costs can be multiple times direct costs, the company prioritized reducing accidents by strengthening front‑line leadership and promoting a safety culture.

They engaged Select International to create SafetyDNA® for Leaders, an 11‑competency assessment and development program. In a Sweden pilot of 43 leaders, those who missed two or fewer competency minimums averaged 0.44 incidents per year versus 7.17 for leaders who missed three or more—more than a 16x difference—demonstrating that assessing and developing safety leadership can sharply reduce incidents and produce substantial cost savings.
