Quickfill is a fast-growing independent fuel retailer in Kenya, operating a network of service stations across urban and peri-urban locations. As part of its expansion strategy, Quickfill partnered with Brex Solutions to strengthen its Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality (HSEQ) systems and standardize operational practices across its stations.
Quickfill faced operational risks associated with rapid network growth, including inconsistent safety practices across stations, gaps in fuel handling procedures, and limited formal HSEQ documentation. Management also identified the need to reduce workplace incidents, improve environmental compliance, and enhance customer confidence in fuel quality and station safety.
Brex Solutions conducted comprehensive HSEQ assessments across selected Quickfill service stations, focusing on fuel handling, forecourt safety, environmental controls, and emergency preparedness. Based on the findings, Brex developed standardized HSEQ procedures tailored to Quickfill’s operational model. Targeted training sessions were delivered to station managers and attendants, covering hazard identification, spill response, fire safety, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance. Brex also introduced practical inspection checklists and incident reporting tools to support ongoing internal monitoring.
Within months of implementation, Quickfill recorded a significant reduction in safety incidents and environmental non-conformities across audited stations. Staff awareness and adherence to safety procedures improved, with station managers demonstrating stronger accountability for HSEQ performance. The standardized procedures helped harmonize operations across the network, and the inspection tools introduced by Brex were adopted as part of Quickfill’s routine station management process. Overall, Quickfill strengthened its safety culture and improved operational consistency while supporting its continued expansion.
Galana Energies, a key importer and distributor of petroleum products in Kenya, partnered with Brex Solutions to implement a robust HSEQ framework that would withstand high-level regulatory scrutiny and ensure safe fuel handling across its supply chain.
Amid high-stakes legal disputes and increased government oversight, Galana needed to reinforce safety, environmental compliance, and documentation practices at its storage terminals and during road fuel transport. There were also gaps in driver safety behavior and emergency preparedness in case of fuel spills or incidents.
Brex Solutions developed and implemented a customized HSEQ Management System aligned with ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 standards. This included a Transport Safety Strategy focused on driver training, route risk assessments, and real-time vehicle monitoring. Brex also conducted mock drills and internal audits to test emergency response capabilities and environmental spill containment measures at Galana’s storage depots.
Galana achieved a 70% reduction in HSEQ-related near misses in the first year post-implementation. The company successfully passed a third-party audit by a government agency without any major non-conformities. Drivers trained by Brex recorded improved road behavior scores based on telematics data, and the company’s improved safety record contributed positively to public perception and regulatory trust.
Farasi Automobiles, a growing vehicle dealership and fleet service provider, enlisted Brex Solutions to improve workshop safety, implement an environmental waste management system, and prepare for ISO 9001 quality certification.
The company was experiencing frequent minor injuries in its workshop due to poor PPE use, unstructured workflows, and inadequate signage. There was also no structured system for managing used oil, batteries, and vehicle waste, leading to environmental compliance risk. Farasi wanted to improve customer satisfaction while working towards ISO 9001 compliance to win new contracts.
Brex Solutions implemented a full HSEQ policy framework, including hazard registers, risk mitigation plans, and safety signage installation. Staff were trained on waste segregation, spill control, and PPE usage. Brex helped set up an Environmental Management Plan and conducted a pre-certification ISO 9001 audit. Customer feedback processes were introduced to align with quality management standards.
The number of workshop incidents dropped by over 60% within four months. Farasi now operates with a clear waste management protocol that complies with NEMA regulations. The company passed its ISO 9001 certification audit with only minor observations and has since secured a major fleet servicing contract. Internal audits show sustained improvement in safety awareness and customer satisfaction levels.
