Ideagen and IPL Plastics team up

IPL Plastics Ltd, a leading rigid plastics manufacturer, is to work with UK-based software firm Ideagen to enhance health and safety management across its operations. IPL Plastics is a Dublin-based company with operations across the United Kingdom, North America and China employing over 2,400 people globally, will implement Ideagen’s Coruson system.

 

The ‘WorkSafe’ project via Coruson will enhance health and safety reporting across IPL’s business, focussing on incident management including investigations and corrective actions. The aim is to spot potential hazards for staff before an incident or injury occurs. Ideagen’s Coruson system will be rolled out across the Group to just under 500 employees, as well as IPL’s 30 environment, health and safety and plant managers.

 

As part of the project, IPL will electronically capture and track injury, illness and general accident forms, including their associated investigations and corrective actions. Near miss and potential incidents – known internally as ‘See it-Say it forms – will also be captured in the system.  The Coruson system will also allow IPL’s management to improve lessons learned from potential or actual incidents.
