I don’t know if you’ve heard by now, but Intelex was positioned as the EHS vendor with the greatest ability to execute in the marketplace in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Management Systems! This is Gartner’s first Magic Quadrant focused on EHS, which shows the progress and growth of the EHS industry.

The Magic Quadrant analyzes key EHS management system providers worldwide and positions them based on their “ability to execute” and “completeness of vision”. Vendors are placed into one of four quadrants as “leaders”, “challengers”, “visionaries” or “niche players”. Named both a Leader and EHS vendor with the highest ability to execute, we believe that our configurable solution and high customer satisfaction ratings earned us this position in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant.

According to Gartner, Leaders “deliver a full suite of EH&S functionality, and represent some of the largest, fastest-growing vendors in the market.” Intelex clients … Read more...

Last week was a whirlwind of events – stemming from the 4th Annual Intelex User Conference, held at the King Edward Hotel in Toronto. The event had it all – visionary key note presentations, multiple hands-on training sessions and ongoing networking throughout the conference. The three day conference was even complemented with a great night out at the Rogers Centre, for the Blue Jays vs. Yankees game.

A man in a construction hat works on a laptop in a facility.

Estimates have shown that for every lost time injury that results in three or more days, there have been more than dozens of prior non-injury incidents. So, why don’t workers report more near misses so there are fewer serious injuries?

A recent article in the May issue of the American Society of Safety Engineers’ journal, Professional Safety, “Near-Miss Reporting — a Missing Link in Safety Culture”, explains and explores reasons why workers don’t report near-misses and how to overcome those obstacles.

The article written by Caterpillar Safety Services senior safety consultant Mike Williamsen, lists eight unique barriers to near-miss reporting:

  • The status quo factor: People grow comfortable with how things are and don’t bother to change.
  • Fear of punishment and retaliation: Even if there is no prior history of retaliation at your workplace, it must be reinforced verbally and through examples that there will be no punishment
