OJAI, California, November 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Combining a leading edge safety management system with BST's proven
safety methodology promises to significantly reduce safety incidents

Global consultancy BST (http://www.bstsolutions.com) today announced the acquisition of RCI Safety (http://www.rcisafety.com), a safety software and consulting firm headquartered in Horton, Kansas. The acquisition, completed by BST parent company DEKRA, adds web-based data management capabilities to BST's suite of safety consulting solutions. Client organizations will have access to single-source tracking of critical safety-related and operational data, including behavior-based safety observations, audits, incident investigations, quality management, and other system information.

While web-based data tracking is the gold standard for safety data management, few organizations have access to a system that can capture the various types of information necessary for effective incident reduction. RCI Safety's proprietary solution allows organizations to record and analyze data from multiple sources, effectively eliminating the information siloes that have plagued the safety field.

DEKRA Insight and BST CEO Colin Duncan says the acquisition furthers DEKRA's vision of being the world leader in protecting lives. "We believe this partnership will create a powerful disruptive service in safety and forever change the way companies protect their employees and assets," says Duncan. "Effective data management is critical to informing decisions about resources and risk. By pairing BST's proprietary methodology and thought leadership in analytics with RCI Safety's technology, we are giving organizations the tools to close the gap between data and insight."
