That all changed when the Club adopted the Safety Matters App, a centralized Safety Management System (SMS) designed specifically for organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs of America. With the transition to the digital platform, inspections, audits, and incident reports could now be completed and submitted from any device—desktop or mobile—instantly alerting leadership to potential hazards.

The Club’s entire safety infrastructure became more proactive and data-driven. Real-time dashboards helped staff analyze patterns in incidents, assess training compliance, and monitor corrective actions across sites. No more digging through folders; everything was securely stored, easily accessible, and organized in one place.

As Bryan Jebo put it,  Safety Matters provides us a single platform to manage all safety-related data, including incident reporting, risk assessments, audits, facility management, and training. The dashboard is a great help at analyzing key data and trends to make safety adjustments in real time. The Safety Matters platform has reduced paperwork and minimizes the risk of losing important safety documentation.”*

Today, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Los Angeles Harbor are not only meeting BGCA’s national safety standards—it’s leading the way. The digital transformation with Safety Matters has allowed them to shift from reactive compliance to a culture of active prevention, reinforcing that safety isn’t just a checklist—it’s a core value.
