How Signal Peak Silica Stays Safety Ready

In Texas, a solid training documentation program is vital for those working in the energy industry. Easy access to verify training is critical to accomplishing routine tasks safely.

Increased Efficiency in Managing Employee Records

“Previously, Signal Peak Silica (SPS) had rows of metal file cabinets; we had to wade through piles of paper to surface critical documentation,’’ recalls Daniel Sandoval. “We struggled to maintain employee records and manage the sheer volume of paper. Yes, we were in compliance, and had what we needed, but even if you knew what you were looking for it could take a while to find and collect the right documentation.”

The catalyst of the pandemic dramatically increased the daily volume of health checks. The SPS team knew that going digital would make records easier and faster to find, but were delighted to discover the additional benefits of choosing SiteDocs.

Always Inspection-Ready Means Quick Reporting

“When onboarding, all new hires at SPS undergo 2-3 days of intensive training,” says Daniel Sandoval, Environmental Permitting Coordinator. “Additionally, we conduct specific training for each task or piece of equipment our personnel operate.”

Since moving away from using paper, that documentation process is what SPS now describes as ‘a breeze’ with SiteDocs.

Competitive Companies need Customizable Systems

SPS has multiple locations in the USA and SiteDocs’ agility as a customizable tool allows for duplication of materials where possible and regionally when needed.  All workers in all states have access to Safety Data Sheets through the SiteDocs Resource Library.

“In Oklahoma, the environmental agency asks for things that Texas doesn’t,” says Daniel Sandoval. “In Texas, the agency asks for things that Oklahoma doesn’t. As the person in charge of maintaining reporting to those agencies, duplicating, then tweaking, unique requirements has kept me doing my most impactful work on training, rather than fighting paperwork.”
