The Challenge

High injury rates across multiple facilities, reactive safety culture, and limited visibility into leading indicators. Safety data was siloed by site, making it impossible to identify patterns and implement preventive measures.

The Solution

Deployed Ensemble EHS with focus on predictive analytics, behavior-based safety observations, and cross-site safety performance benchmarking. Implemented mobile safety observation app for floor supervisors.

"The predictive insights from Ensemble helped us shift from reactive firefighting to proactive prevention. We now spot safety trends before they become incidents."
