Q2 2026 Product Launch Notes: SIF Prevention, Permit AI, 5-Why Enhancements and More 

5 minute read

Intelex’s Q2 2026 product update focuses on reducing manual work, improving data consistency, and giving EHS teams clearer visibility across operations.

This quarter, we’re excited to share several new releases and updates. Here are a few highlights: Input AI features that automate permit processing and field data capture, SIF prevention tools for consistent serious injury and fatality classification, and platform improvements to make incident investigation and site management easier.

Connecting leading and lagging indicators 

Over the last 20 years, the total recordable injury rate has steadily declined. That’s great news, but the fatality rate has remained roughly the same. The gap tells us something important. We’re getting better at reducing injuries overall, but we’re not making enough progress on the events that lead to the most severe outcomes.

One way the industry is tackling this is by shifting focus toward high-energy events and the types of activities and incidences that are most likely to result in serious injuries or fatalities. 

 Within Intelex, we approach this in two ways:

• High Energy Control Assessment (HECA™) application: It’s designed for going out in the field and making structured observations around high-energy activities, helping you identify risk before an incident occurs.  

• Safety Classification Learning (SCL) Model: It takes the incidents and near misses you’ve already captured and consistently classifies them so you can better understand the severity and energy profile of what’s happening onsite. 

Read more about our partnership with Safety Function and the HECA application.

Why this matters: SCL brings consistency to the classification of high-energy events. Paired with Intelex’s HECA application, it gives organizations a connected view of risk across both leading and lagging indicators. 

Turn environmental permits into actionable compliance plans with Input AI: Permits 

What it is: Input AI for Permits uses AI to read an uploaded environmental permit, extract compliance conditions, and automatically generate associated tasks in the permit management app. It’s the next evolution of ehsAI, our popular compliance automation software, built to be easier, faster, and better integrated into the Intelex platform customers already use.

How it works: Once a permit is uploaded, Input AI: Permits scans it and surfaces all conditions and citations, organized and linked to the original source pages. A human reviewer can adjust labels, requirement types, or frequencies before the system generates a full compliance plan. This plan includes linked actions tied directly to each permit requirement, with owners and due dates, ready to go live in the permit management app.

Digitize handwritten notes with Input AI: Paper Sync 

What it is: Input AI: Paper Sync is developed specifically for restricted device environments. Input AI: Paper Sync lets field workers complete a printed checklist, snap a photo, and have responses automatically populate the corresponding digital form. It can be used across observations, audit management, and inspections.

How it works: Workers print a structured checklist from Intelex, complete it by hand on-site, and take a photo when they return. Input AI: Paper Sync reads the handwritten responses and maps them directly to the right fields in the digital form. A human review step is included before anything is finalized and saved.

Why these updates matter: Both features eliminate the double handling that slows EHS teams, whether spending hours manually interpreting permit conditions or transcribing field notes after the fact. 

See complete visibility across facilities with Site View 

What it is: Site View consolidates EHS data from across the Intelex platform into a single, location-specific view.  

How it works: Site View shows relevant information for each site: regulatory compliance statuses, environmental applicability, ISO certifications, audit histories, audit findings, and more.

Why it matters: Site, regional, and corporate teams have instant visibility into what’s happening at any given facility without bouncing between applications to piece it together. 

Faster, more collaborative root cause analysis with the 5-Why Diagram enhancement 

What it is: Investigation teams can build and edit their causal analysis directly in the diagram and export it into reports, templates, or presentations when done. 

How it works: The updated diagram lets users add causes, extend branches, edit text, and mark causal factors directly within the visual. Teams can work in their preferred format and always see the same analysis. Diagrams can be exported for presentations or embedded into incident reports and merge templates. 

Why it matters: Root cause analysis is rarely a solo exercise. It typically happens in a conference room or on a group call, with multiple people working through a chain of causes together. The new diagram experience keeps that conversation flowing.
