Historically, the utilities sector has been heavily regulated, resulting in mature and stable health and safety systems. However, given the growth trajectory and high-risk nature of the industry, there are some common safety challenges that should—and can—be addressed. Is software for utilities companies the answer?

In the US alone, the industry employs over 670,000 people and counting. Furthermore, globally, utility compan

Picking the best EHS software solution for your company is a massive task. As a result, the journey from selection to implementation can span months.
