The Challenge for U.S. Sugar Corporation

U.S. Sugar faced major obstacles in managing its EHS processes. The company needed a modern solution to improve safety management, reduce human error, and ensure compliance. Key challenges included:

  • Automating Safety Management: Manual safety tasks needed to be streamlined and automated to limit the possibility of human error.
  • Integrating with Existing Systems: The new system had to interface with U.S. Sugar's current data systems for tracking injuries, workers compensation claim management, and incident investigations.
  • Maintaining OSHA 300 Logs: Required a better system for maintaining OSHA 300 Log compliance.
  • Centralizing EHS Data: Needed a "one stop shop" EHS data management system for dashboards, trend analysis, and comparison with industry standards.

How Intelex Helped U.S. Sugar Corporation

Intelex implemented its Integrated Management System, focusing on:

  • Training Management: Ensuring employees understood compliance and safety regulations.
  • Audits Management: Improving compliance tracking and identifying areas for improvement.
  • Customized Master Incident Module: Tailoring the incident reporting system to include OSHA 300 Log management, aligning with U.S. Sugar's needs.

The system provided comprehensive analytics capabilities including dashboards, trend analysis, and the comparison of internal measurements and targets with industry standards, creating a true "one stop shop" EHS data management system.

The Intelex team worked closely with U.S. Sugar, providing hands-on client and technical support to customize the incident reporting module effectively. U.S. Sugar achieved many notable improvements in environmental and health & safety compliance audits, with plans for future module implementations including an environmental permitting module.
