As part of Buckeye’s ongoing effort to recognize and mitigate risk, prevent incidents, and support our evolving safety philosophy of “No Harm” to our employees and contractors, Buckeye developed the SafeMe App to help focus our employees on hazard evaluation and the various safety principles associated with task planning and safe execution of work activities.
The SafeMe application is a proprietary PC and mobile device application to promote and enhance our safety-first culture using targeted, employee-focused technology. The SafeMe app is a self-assessment tool enabling employees to prioritize health and safety in the performance of their daily work activities and conditions. The brief “yes/no” format of the safety checklists contained on the app are designed to prioritize hazard evaluation and safety principles, as well as assist employees in planning the safe execution of work tasks. Employees can include comments regarding safety assessments in the app, which are then forwarded to corporate safety personnel for review and action planning. All Buckeye employees, both field and corporate, are expected to use the SafeMe app, and details collected within the SafeMe app allow for understanding and response to potential workplace improvements.
Since its launch in August 2021, Buckeye employees have completed over 430,000 assessments and provided over 1,400 comments. The provided feedback has been instrumental in identifying opportunities to keep the application fresh, relevant, and valuable to our 1,800+ users.
