Antea Group Utilizes EHS Management Software to deliver a Powerful Industrial Hygiene Solution
Challenge
Antea Group was charged with evaluating and determining improvements to the Industrial Hygiene (IH) programs for two client companies, facilitating collaboration so that they could share their knowledge and optimize the effectiveness of their IH programs.
Both companies already had an established IH workflow and processes that supported their EHS (Environment, Health and Safety) policies and programs, yet they still sought to improve the efficiency of their IH program. These clients were seeking:
Enhanced knowledge transfer and shared learning of best practices
Enhanced work product through quality assurance
Transparency and visibility that drive performance-based standards
A centralized information and data repository
Solution
Antea Group devised a strategy to achieve these objectives and deliver a cost-effective solution that would satisfy both clients. The strategy had the following components:
Evaluating each client’s IH program to understand similarities and differences
Encouraging inter-client idea sharing and generation
Utilizing the combined knowledge of Antea Group’s IH, client, and technology experts
Documenting client workflows including input, data analysis, and reporting requirements
The tool that would satisfy all these objectives was a technology-enabled IH solution. The implementation stage consisted of the following steps:
Formalizing client requirements and conceptual design
Architecting a final design, schedule, and budget
Deploying a solution for validation
Uploading historical data
Training users
Result
Benefits for the clients included value-added insights into program policies, processes, and workflows from shared knowledge, program cost efficiency, and enhanced quality assurance and program continuity. Additionally, historical data was scrubbed and all data was now centralized, retrievable and able to be analyzed for trends. These processes were implemented for client facilities globally.
