Measurable Safety Goals: Examples to Drive a Culture of Safety
In today’s dynamic work environment, safety is not just a priority, it’s a necessity. Setting and achieving measurable safety goals is crucial. Here...
When Jason Conley joined Apex Energy in 2022, safety reporting ran entirely on paper. Within months of partnering with EHS Insight, the entire organization — from field operations to development teams across the United States — was reporting incidents and safety observations digitally, in real time.
The Challenge
Apex Energy managed EHS compliance through paper-based incident reports, safety observations, and management of change processes. As the company scaled past 150 employees, the limitations of manual workflows became critical. A previous software vendor failed to deliver the customization Apex needed for field teams and facility managers — prompting a full re-evaluation of available platforms.
Why EHS Insight Won
After evaluating 7–10 vendors, Apex chose EHS Insight based on out-of-the-box configurability, hands-on implementation support, and the ability to build custom workflows. The key differentiator: every question was met not with "yes, we can do that" but with "yes — let me show you how."
The Results
From contract execution in January to operations team go-live in May, Apex had safety observation and incident reporting running in the field within 4 months. By year's end, all 429 employees had access. The company is now expanding into audits & inspections, chemical/SDS management, training, sustainability reporting, and AI Copilot-driven metrics tracking — all within a single platform.
AI Copilot in Action
Apex developed a custom "Hurt Rate" metric with EHS Insight's customer service team — tracking all injuries regardless of OSHA recordability — and now pulls this data directly through the AI Copilot for monthly leadership reporting. The shift from manual metric validation to AI-assisted trend analysis has fundamentally changed how Apex's safety team surfaces and communicates risk
