Safety is a key driver of business success. Companies that prioritise safety don’t just protect their people; they also strengthen their operational efficiency, enhance their reputation, and position themselves to win in competitive markets. BESIX, a global leader in construction, is a prime example of how transforming safety processes can give businesses a powerful edge. But first, if you want the details, read the full BESIX case study here. 

Why Safety Drives Competitive Advantage 

Clients and stakeholders expect more than compliance. They demand accountability, innovation, and results. Safety plays a critical role in meeting these expectations by: 

1. Improving operational efficiency by reducing delays and errors, saving time, and admin burden. 
2. Enhancing reputation through a strong safety record that builds trust and makes businesses more competitive in bids. 
3. Driving innovation with smarter safety systems that demonstrate forward-thinking leadership and set businesses apart. 

BESIX’s Strategic Transformation 

BESIX faced the challenge of managing safety across thousands of employees and hundreds of projects globally. Manual reporting and siloed systems were not only inefficient but also hindered their ability to stay ahead of risks. By centralising their safety processes with HSI Donesafe, BESIX: 

1. Gained real-time insights that allowed them to act quickly on emerging risks and trends. This proactive approach reduced incidents and improved overall safety outcomes. 
2. Met client demands with ease by standardizing their safety and environmental reporting processes, positioning them as a reliable and compliant partner. 
3. Boosted team engagement with an intuitive system that made safety easier to manage at every level of the organisation.
