The benefits of our 6clicks risk management solution for managing incidents in the business.

Following a review from BSI (British Standards Institution), GB Railfreight was picked up for a major NCR around managing actions, non-conformities and closeout.  BSI recommended that they needed a system to manage their actions better.

Previously the business had used Corusion, an Ideagen solution that was part of the Safety Management Information Service (SMIS) industry initiative as it was felt these two solutions would be integrated over time.  There were challenges around the usability and streamlining of Corusion, which meant GB Railfreight had to introduce action-based spreadsheets to work alongside Corusion, causing issues with consistency and outdated information.

Benefits of 6clicks risk management solution

Jake highlighted the key benefits of the solution for GB Railfreight

  • It is simple to operate and understand
  • It is easy to set up and link fields, matrices and standards, giving us a clear and easy way to link risks to standards
  • Lloyd and the team at AssessTech explained the system and clearly outlined what it could do, and we developed a requirements document to tailor it to our needs.
  • The system met 33 out of our 36 requirements, which was better than any other system we reviewed.
  • Excellent data and insights mean we have everything we need in one system and one easily searchable dashboard.

Impacts to-date

Jake explained that the 6Clicks system has been useful for looking at risks in their system, enabling them to rework their safety risk register.  The solution allows them to look at all their risks in one register to demonstrate the overall risk profile of the business and where they rank within each section.

They have also created a residual risk matrix, looking at how effective their control area is. 

This information is essential for planning management requirements for incidents and linking those back to elements such as standards, locations, timescales and legislation (ROGs).

Next Steps

RM3 audits have been configured to suit GB Railfreight’s needs. Some of their regions are trialling this element before rolling it out to their busy operations teams.

At the user forum, Jake will provide an overview of how they use 6Clicks to manage their risk and explain how this is creating benefits for their organisation.
