Boise Cascade & VelocityEHS

VelocityEHS & Boise Cascade Working Together To Improve Safety

HazCom requirements are difficult to stay on top of, whether you’re a seasoned safety professional or you are wearing multiple hats and working across different departments. Chemical management is a challenge; paper binders and spreadsheets can move you away from compliance and be a drain on resources. 

That is why Boise-Cascade has implemented VelocityEHS’ Chemical Management solution, giving EHS leaders on these sites the peace of mind that safety data sheets are up-to-date and that their people have access to real-time chemical inventory information. Boise Cascade sites using the VelocityEHS Chemical Management solution get access to the industry’s leading SDS library, with millions of documents and 20,000 new or updated SDSs added each week; powerful label management tools; and a simple cross-referencing engine which provides critical insight into your local, federal and international regulatory responsibilities. 

Why Ergonomics Now at Boise Cascade?  Across Boise Cascade’s operations, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) account for nearly 50% of serious injuries and associated direct costs. Not included is the significant hidden impact of lost productivity, employee turnover, and operational disruption. With 51 facilities throughout BMD, limited safety resources, and no consistent ergonomics process, responsibility falls on site teams to spot and manage risk—often relying on gut feel instead of data. Existing gaps in day-to-day risk identification and training mean hazardous behaviors can go unnoticed.
