MWH Treatment is a sector-leading process design and build solution provider to the UK water industry. The company is committed to delivering sustainable and resilient solutions that prioritise safety, quality, and environmental responsibility. With a focus on minimising risks and maximising positive environmental impact, MWH Treatment needed a robust and scalable health and safety management system to enhance compliance, efficiency, and reporting across its operations.
The brief
MWH Treatment required an advanced, integrated management system to audit, control, and provide real-time reporting on all Safety, Health, Environment, and Quality (SHEQ) matters throughout the organisation. The system needed to support their workforce, which included both employees and an extensive network of 8,000 subcontractors, ensuring that health and safety data was systematically tracked, recorded, and analysed.
Key requirements included:
- A centralised platform to manage SHEQ compliance across multiple sites and teams.
- Real-time tracking of health and safety incidents, audits, and assessments.
- A flexible and scalable system that could be adapted to evolving regulatory requirements.
- Seamless integration with their existing Infinity System to enable data consistency and accessibility.
- Advanced reporting and analysis tools to support risk management and decision-making.
What we did: Our team worked closely with MWH Treatment to configure the system according to their specific compliance and reporting requirements, enabling:
User Access Control: We established structured access levels, allowing MWH Treatment to control data visibility and editing permissions at the press of a button. This ensured that the right people had access to the right information while maintaining data security and compliance.
Flexible and Scalable Assessments: The system was designed to be fully adaptable, allowing MWH Treatment to quickly implement new assessments and safety measures as regulations and business needs evolved.
Real-Time Risk Management: By feeding sustainability data into m2i.SHEQ, the system facilitated a dynamic, live risk management framework. This allowed MWH Treatment to capture and analyse data related to the social and environmental impact of their projects, supporting proactive decision-making and compliance monitoring.
Automated Alerts and Prompts: To enhance efficiency, we configured the system to generate real-time notifications and reminders for key compliance activities, ensuring that no critical health and safety actions were overlooked.
The outcome
The implementation of m2i.SHEQ has transformed MWH Treatment’s approach to health and safety management, delivering significant benefits in efficiency, compliance, and data-driven decision-making.
Key outcomes include:
Enhanced Compliance and Risk Mitigation: The ability to track, audit, and manage SHEQ data in real-time ensures that MWH Treatment remains fully compliant with UK Health and Safety Executive regulations. The system’s automated tracking features also help identify and mitigate risks before they escalate.
Time and Cost Savings: The streamlined data management process has significantly reduced administrative overheads, allowing teams to focus on proactive safety management rather than paperwork. Faster data retrieval and automated reporting have further improved operational efficiency.
Improved Accountability and Performance Tracking: With m2i.SHEQ’s integrated tracking and reporting capabilities, MWH Treatment can monitor key metrics such as incident rates, response times, cost implications, and subcontractor compliance. This visibility enables more effective performance evaluations and continuous improvement initiatives.
Seamless Communication and Coordination: The system keeps all stakeholders informed through real-time alerts and data sharing, fostering better coordination between employees, contractors, and management.
Proactive Sustainability and Social Impact Monitoring: By incorporating live data analytics, MWH Treatment can evaluate its sustainability initiatives in real time, ensuring that projects meet environmental goals and contribute positively to local communities.
Through the successful integration of m2i.SHEQ, MWH Treatment has strengthened its health and safety framework, improved efficiency, and established a future-ready approach to SHEQ management that supports ongoing growth and regulatory compliance.
