Prior to this program we consumed a significant amount of gloves, sleeves and safety glasses, we are very happy to have control over our usage and have seen impressive cost savings."

Challenges

-Beacon Industries was purchasing tens of thousands of dollars per month of gloves, first aid, sleeves, aprons from multiple suppliers.

-Inefficient process of handing out PPE to employees.

-A lot of wasted PPE from employees receiving more PPE than their allotted amount.

-Difficulty keeping track of inventory and ordering their required PPE.

-Employees cutting their hands when handling metal.

 

The Safety Source PPE Vending Solution

After being contacted by Beacon Industries, CEO of The Safety Source LLC Verde VanSickle, scheduled an onsite visit to determine Beacon Industries pain points and PPE issues.

 

Upon completing a full glove and PPE survey, The Safety Source made several recommendations and presented a turnkey PPE vending solution that included placing 4 PPE Vending Machines in key work areas as well as a vendor managed program where a Safety Source representative will fill the machines on a weekly basis as well as perform on-site inventory an ordering.

 

The Safety Source also introduced Beacon Industries to Global Glove CR588MFY ANSI Cut Level A3 glove that provides excellent grip, cut and heat resistance.

 

Management at Beacon Industries compared The Safety Source PPE Vending Program to:
-Magid Glove
-Fastenal
-Grainger
-Cintas


And after comparing services levels, testimonials, pricing and quality of PPE supplies Beacon Industries awarded the contract to The Safety Source.

 

Results

The Safety Source kicked the PPE Vending program off August 15, 2023 and after 90 days Beacon Industries is extremely happy with their decision to partner with The Safety Source. Beacon Industries has seen significant cost savings due to controls on consumptions, reduced friction in their procure to pay process and longer lasting PPE.

 

After the success of the Vending Solution at the Rossford, OH location, Beacon Industries and The Safety Source are in the process of implementing PPE Vending at their other locations as well.

 

The Safety Source will also be implementing a Janitorial supply solution for Beacon Industries in their Rossford, OH location.
