iQ-Surveillance™

Qualex Consulting Services, Inc. uses text analytics to transform HSE – Health, Safety and Environment incident reports from a data dump to a source of early indicators and actionable findings in order to identify incident root causes and to reverse an increasing trend of safety incidents.

• Using Text Mining to discern trends from long form text data to target areas of focus for future improvement and to overhaul the approach to incident tracking and reporting. The text mining process allowed the team to discover useful information that was previously inaccessible on a company-wide scale due to the nature of lengthy text descriptions and the scattered location of the documents. And upon automating the acquisition, compilation and publishing of this information on a weekly basis the organization was able to raise awareness and assign personal responsibility in all aspects of incident management and reporting.
• Using statistical methods to identify significant differences in HSE – Health, Safety and Environment performance across divisions, regions, project areas, working activities, and contractors, and then published reports to assist HSE – Health, Safety and Environment management in identifying corporate change to address these issues, within their teams and across division and functions, using statistical facts. Additionally, having the automated and innovative reporting for the corporation allowed them to save many man-hours when compiling their monthly/yearly reporting to the Government and Federal Agencies.
