Client Profile

Kelly BMW is local, family owned business serving the Columbus, Ohio area for over 40 years. At Kelly, they are committed not only to customer satisfaction, but also to the safety of their 65 employees. 

Kelly BMW brought KPA on board over 15 years ago, using their Vera Suite platform to manage safety training, OSHA logs, and Safety Data Sheets for efficient operations. 

Solution

On-Site Inspections  

The safety team works closely with KPA’s Ohio-based EHS Consultant, Glorianna Corman, who conducts regular inspections. According to Director of Fixed Ops, Bill Fyffe: “When she comes in and gives us a list during her quarterly visit, I have my key managers, my shop foreman, my dispatcher, facilitation manager, my service manager, parts manager, and myself sit in on the safety meetings because I want them to take an active role.”  


“I’ve got 65 employees with 53 cars a day going through so we’re trying to make sure we keep things as safe as possible.” 


During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kelly BMW ramped up PPE training using KPA’s Focus on Safety programs. 


Managing Incidents  


In rare accident cases, the team logs events in Vera Suite and can produce OSHA forms instantly. “I love having the portal that you have to do the OSHA 300 Report. It makes it so easy. And if OSHA ever asks me for it, I print it out with one stroke of the key and boom, I have a form to send to them.”

 

“I don’t have to keep logs. I don’t have to chase after things… it’s all integrated into Vera Suite.”
