The Problem

EPC sites required consistent, standards-compliant safety equipment across multiple contractors operating simultaneously. Procurement fragmentation was leading to non-standardised PPE grades, stockouts of critical safety items, and inflated unit costs.

The Solution

BKI established a managed safety equipment supply programme: vendor rationalisation to 4 approved manufacturers, a consignment stock arrangement at two field warehouses, monthly replenishment cycles, and real-time inventory tracking accessible to all site HSE teams.

Outcome

Supply consolidation achieved 24% unit cost reduction. Zero PPE stockouts recorded across 18-month programme. All supplied items certified to EN ISO and ANSI standards.
