“It allows us to check and verify our vendors to get them on the approved vendor list
before they start.”
Leo Lynch delivers complex mechanical, electrical and process (MEP) engineering projects across Ireland, the UK and Europe. With safety at the heart of its operations and as the business grew, they recognised the need for a more structured and scalable approach to workforce onboarding, competency verification and compliance, while maintaining high standards of safety, workforce readiness and operational excellence.
Despite established processes, onboarding relied on paper records, spreadsheets and manual processes, with inductions, certification checks and workforce information managed across multiple systems. This limited visibility of workforce readiness and increased the administrative burden on the Health and Safety team.
Leo Lynch transformed workforce onboarding, competency management and compliance by creating a more efficient, scalable approach to workforce readiness with HSI Donesafe’s Workforce Competency Management solution. Workers can now complete onboarding requirements before arriving on site, while certifications, training records and competencies are verified in advance, ensuring employees, subcontractors and agency workers are ready to work from day one.
The business has also strengthened supply chain compliance, enabling approved contractors to manage onboarding and submit required documentation before projects begin. This has improved visibility, reduced administrative effort and streamlined vendor approval processes.
As a result, Leo Lynch has eliminated the need to manually review emailed certificates and paperwork as workers arrive on site, reducing delays and saving the EHS team an estimated two to three days of administration each week. With workforce competency and compliance records available in a single system, the organisation has achieved up to 60% greater efficiency in onboarding and compliance management, improving governance, audit readiness and workforce oversight while reinforcing its safety-first culture.
