Revolutionizing Safety Management in Manufacturing Industry with Power Platform: A Case Study

As a member of the Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) department at Engro Fertilizers Manufacturing Site in Daharki, Pakistan, I had the opportunity to work on a project that leveraged the power of Microsoft Power Platform to streamline safety audits during shutdowns or turnarounds at our facility. Prior to the implementation of our solution, our employees were filling out safety audits on paper cards, which made it difficult to consolidate and analyze the data, and hindered our ability to ensure compliance with safety regulations.

The HSE MSA application was developed using Microsoft Power Platform, which allowed us to create a custom solution that met our specific needs. Power Apps provided an easy-to-use interface for designing and deploying the app, while SharePoint was used to store and manage the data. Power Automate was also leveraged to automate certain tasks and streamline the MSA submission process.

One of the key benefits of the HSE MSA application was its ability to provide real-time data and analytics, which enabled us to quickly identify potential safety issues and take proactive measures to address them. The app's dashboard provided a comprehensive view of safety audit data, which could be filtered and analyzed in various ways. For example, we could view safety audit results by department or job type, or compare safety performance across different time periods. These insights helped us to identify trends and patterns, and take corrective actions where necessary.

In conclusion, the HSE MSA application developed using Microsoft Power Platform was a game-changer for our facility. It provided an innovative solution to a long-standing problem and delivered significant benefits in terms of safety compliance and performance. By leveraging the Power Platform, we were able to achieve a successful zero Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) during a 60-day-long turnaround, Zero TRIR is a critical objective for any manufacturing industry, as it represents our unwavering focus on the health and safety of our employees, and our relentless pursuit of operational excellence

As we look ahead to the future, we believe that there is great potential for further innovation and improvement using Microsoft Power Platform. We are excited to continue exploring new use cases and applications for this powerful technology, and we look forward to sharing our experiences and insights with the wider community.
