The Transportation Leader’s Guide to Safety System Modernization

transportation leader

Transportation and logistics come with many risks, so EHS programs are usually well-developed.

Still, more than 90% of EHS leaders are working to move away from legacy or paper-based systems. These outdated systems can create blind spots in your safety performance.

Warning signs your system is outdated

  • Field teams struggle with slow, outdated tools. Forms are manual, systems don’t work offline, or data entry is tedious.
  • Managers lack real-time visibility. Without live data, you’re reacting to safety issues instead of preventing them.
  • Leadership keeps asking for reports. Key decision-makers don’t have access to dashboards with real-time safety metrics.

Day-to-day impact on EHS leaders

For EHS leaders in the transportation and logistics industry, these warning signs translate to:

  • Delayed reporting: Field observations sit in inboxes or paper forms instead of reaching the right people in real time.
  • Missed risks: Without centralized data, it’s easy to overlook trends that could prevent incidents.
  • Low engagement: Workers get frustrated with slow, clunky processes and may stop reporting hazards altogether.

Shifting to an integrated system

This guide is designed to help you identify gaps in your current system and explore what modernization could look like. 55% of EHS leaders say their goal is to implement a single, global EHS software solution within the next two years.

The main drivers for consolidation:

  • More reliable business intelligence (BI) reporting
  • Standardized data collection across sites
  • Higher worker engagement through fewer tools and a consistent user experience
