GE Appliances operates on a massive scale, producing thousands of home appliances every hour. With over 16,500 employees working across various sites, maintaining safety and efficiency in high-risk operations is a major priority. However, decentralized and inconsistent LOTO procedures posed challenges that could impact both efficiency and safety.
GE Appliances turned to Benchmark Gensuite to address the following with LOTO management:
With Benchmark Gensuite, GE Appliances has been able to eliminate the errors and delays that come with manual processes, setting a new standard for safety and consistency across its sites.
To tackle these challenges, GE Appliances partnered with Benchmark Gensuite to adopt a fully digital LOTO solution. This approach transformed how safety protocols were managed, reviewed, and accessed.
With Benchmark Gensuite’s platform, GE Appliances achieved:
All 10,000 LOTO procedures were standardized and stored digitally in a single, accessible location.
Each procedure received a unique QR code, allowing employees to instantly access the latest LOTO information by scanning the code on mobile devices or tablets. The QR codes ensure every employee can instantly access the correct procedure, reducing errors and time spent searching for the right document.
Benchmark Gensuite provided flexibility in template design, ensuring that each procedure met GE Appliances' specific needs while maintaining consistency in structure and layout.
Digital tracking of inspection cycles helped ensure that every procedure stayed up-to-date without manual tracking.
By adopting a digital-first approach, GE Appliances moved away from physical documentation and storage, improving access and creating a single source of truth for LOTO procedures.
