“Safeguard met our needs perfectly. We wanted to track and monitor compliance across the organisation, reduce the work required to maintain substance inventories and assessments and have a system of reminders set up for re-assessment.”

About Red Bull Racing

Formed in 2004, Red Bull Racing is a Formula 1 Racing team owned by Austrian drinks company Red Bull.

Project Summary

A system was sought by Red Bull Racing to ensure compliance with COSHH Regulations and manage its chemical risk assessments.With Safeguard in place, Red Bull Racing have access to accurate and up-to-date information on their hazardous substances that can be accessed from any location. With automatic reminders set up for re-assessment, Red Bull Racing can ensure that they remain compliant.

Business Needs

With over 400 staff based in Milton Keynes, Red Bull Racing had a manual, paper-based system to control and manage their use of hazardous substances that was difficult to keep up-to-date and had no real sense of ownership.

A central system was needed that could be accessed 24 hours a day from any location worldwide. With over 700 substances used within Red Bull Racing, it was essential that the relevant people had easy access to the information they needed.

Solution

Red Bull Racing selected Rivo Safeguard’s COSHH Module to create and easily maintain an inventory of hazardous substances for each of its locations and to quickly create and manage significant volumes of chemical risk assessments. Safeguard enables real-time visibility and the efficient management of these assessments from any location at the touch of a button.

Business Benefits

Ian Prior, Manufacturing Systems and Safety Manager explained, “Safeguard met our needs perfectly. We wanted to track and monitor compliance across the organisation, reduce the work required to maintain substance inventories and assessments and have a system of reminders set up for re-assessment.

The introduction of Safeguard has meant that we are now confident that our Health & Safety information is accurate and up-to-date. The system has reduced duplication of effort and generally increased awareness of Health & Safety issues throughout the business. The Red Bull brand is all about living life to the full and helping people fulfil their goals and that clearly embraces protecting the welfare of our employees.”
