Case Study: Dyno Nobel achieves reduced injury rates and improved risk management with VelocityEHS

Dyno Nobel Enhances Risk Management With Comprehensive Software

Dyno Nobel, a global explosives manufacturer with 32 facilities and about 3,770 employees, faced fragmented and time-consuming risk management: critical control verifications were captured in Excel across multiple languages and emailed for aggregation, producing inconsistent terminology, poor visibility for leadership, and limited ability to take proactive safety actions.

The company deployed VelocityEHS Risk Management to standardize bowtie-based risk assessments, integrate CCVs and risk analysis on a cloud/mobile platform with offline capability, and automate updates. Post-implementation Dyno Nobel cut data aggregation time from ~10 to 2 hours/month, saw its Employee Lost Day Injury Rate fall 23% (75 → 58), Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate drop 53% (0.9 → 0.42), and Significant Event Frequency Rate decline 39% over two years, while improving transparency, efficiency and employee engagement.
