6 minute read Most airlines operating today have more safety data than at any point in their history. Serious event reports, near miss records, audit findings, corrective actions, and investigation outputs. Years of it, accumulated across fleets, bases, and operational teams. And somewhere inside that data, the conditions that will contribute to your next serious event are already present.

6 minute read Environmental and sustainability regulations worldwide have grown 155% over the last decade. Despite the United States federal EPA pulling back, businesses are not slowing down. 50% of EHS executives surveyed by Intelex have increased their environmental and sustainability investments in the past 12–18 months, and another 42% are maintaining current investment levels, with regulatory pressure cited as the second-biggest driver.

“Good enough” is the most expensive phrase in EHSQ. While the system handles compliance and keeps things running, it quietly builds up costs that never appear on reports. When EHS and Quality leaders contemplate switching management systems, they consider how the change could pose risks. The real question is how much risk their current systems already pose. Research from the Harvard Business Review found that 40-60% of purchase decisions stall out because decision-makers choose not to act.

EHS success is financial success. The problem is that most EHS leaders can’t prove it in language finance understands, and have trouble advocating for themselves in budget conversations as a result. Often, this will boil down to two factors. The first is tactical: EHS teams lead with activity metrics — training completions, near-miss counts, corrective actions closed — when finance is listening for exposure, payback periods, and return on investment. The second is harder to fix.

6 minute read I spent years in the field as an EHS practitioner trying to close the gap between two realities: the safety program we built and the work that actually happened. Two frameworks have shaped how I think about that gap more than any others: Human and Organizational Performance (HOP), and Energy-Based Safety (EBS). On the surface, they can feel like entirely separate conversations. One is a philosophy. The other is a science. But when you put them together, something powerful happens.

5 minute read Intelex’s Q2 2026 product update focuses on reducing manual work, improving data consistency, and giving EHS teams clearer visibility across operations. This quarter, we’re excited to share several new releases and updates.

6 minute read Scott Gaddis, our VP of Safety and Health, shared a story from his time leading safety in a manufacturing plant that stuck with me. An operator told his supervisor about a problem with a machine, but the supervisor ignored it. Later that day, the machine exploded, sending pulp, nuts, bolts, and metal flying across the building. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but it was a real wake-up call.

10 minute read Food & beverage operations depend on well-synced workflows. Issues shuttle up and down the hierarchy, from the floor all the way to leadership. Tasks bounce between peers each shift, and decisions made by one function inevitably affect workflows in other functions. Intelex is a shared system of record for Safety and Quality workflows.

9 minute read F&B companies have to move fast in an environment where mistakes can have serious safety consequences. Lines run at full speed around the clock, while inspections, audits, and recertifications loom ever-present in the background. “Food & beverage is operationally unforgiving. It’s tight margins, high volume, and a lot of pressure,” says Angelo Cianfrocco, an EHS Solutions Consultant with Intelex who has more than a decade of industry experience.

7 minute read In food & beverage, most operational inefficiencies stem from important information never reaching the right team. Sometimes the issue seems minor, like finding broken glass near a conveyor belt. Quality sees a process control problem. Safety sees a housekeeping problem. Production sees a yield loss problem. All three teams are facing the same root cause, but none of them realize it. And that small issue can balloon into a costly failure.
