Case study - msdsBinders instrumental in implementing RBS Bulk Systems safety policies
Introduction
RBS Bulk Systems provides high-quality dry and liquid bulk transportation services throughout Western Canada and the United States.
For RBS, accurate MSDS management is essential to ensure both safety and compliance while transporting a broad range of products for their customers.
Situation
Prior to becoming a msdsBinders client, RBS managed all their MSDSs internally.
The process was exhaustive and challenging. Employees spent too much time shuffling paper.
MSDS management was a growing concern, and RBS needed to find a more effective and efficient way to manage MSDSs and ERGs across their numerous locations and while transporting chemicals.
RBS transfers to msdsBinders
In 2009, RBS moved to msdsBinders. Brock Lonson, Manager of HSE, saw the value in the system: “the appropriate ERGs are attached to the MSDSs, and MSDSs are automatically updated in all locations without having to ever touch a single paper.
Our drivers carry the MSDSs and ERGs in their trucks to ensure compliance and convenient access to information needed to transport chemicals safely.
Our maintenance staff also use the system to be informed of the chemicals they are working with or near in all situations.”
Results
Overall, the msdsBinders system was the comprehensive solution RBS needed to save time and money. It ensured accuracy, peace of mind and helped implement the RBS safety policy in the following ways:
- Proactive health and safety management
- Educated and trained staff
- Adhering to government regulations
- Minimized risks through emergency responses and actions
- Truck drivers now have up-to-date MSDSs on the road and access to Emergency Response Guides
