Compass Group PLC, the U.K. based foodservice contractor, has introduced a mobile app to power the firm's digitized Safety Walks program in partnership with Totalmobile, a U.K. based provider of field service management software, according to a press release. To date, the new solution has been rolled out to 2,500 users in 25 countries around the globe.

The solution has enabled Compass Group to build on its "See Care Share" model and provide its teams with a structured way of conducting safety walks when visiting manufacturing or production sites.

The mobile application, which integrates with Microsoft Outlook's diary, prompts users to plan and undertake a number of monthly planned safety walks. Once on site, the solution features a series of tailored workflows that guide users through how to conduct a safety walk and schedule post-walk follow-ups.

"The Mobilise app has enabled Compass Group to automate practices that encourage conversations between leaders and unit team members on safety and any areas of concern," Federico Tonetti, global health and safety director at Compass Group, said in the press release. "We are now able to ensure these walks are undertaken in a standardized manner across the globe, and that all findings and follow up actions are captured, recorded and actioned, so that nothing is ever overlooked or forgotten."
