Sprague Energy Chooses EH&S Compliance System from ESS
ESS, a leading provider of Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) and Crisis Management software and services for Operational Risk Management, announced today that Sprague Energy of New England has selected Essential Suite™ to streamline regulatory compliance activities across the company.
Sprague Energy plans to use the Essential Compliance Manager™ and Essential Task Manager™ modules in Essential Suite as part of a browser-based Compliance Management System (CMS) that would be accessible to the company’s employees that deal with Environmental, Health and Safety issues at 20 facilities located throughout New England and New York through its safety Web site. Essential Compliance Manager will also give Sprague seamless access to thousands of up-to-date federal and state regulations in CyberRegs™, by Citation Publishing.
“We selected Essential Suite because of our commitment to developing a user friendly, browser-based CMS that will meet the regulatory compliance and scheduling needs of both terminal management and headquarters personnel,” said Donald Simpson, Chief Information Officer at Sprague Energy. “We expect the software by ESS to provide us with a standardized approach for generating the terminal, system-wide, regulation-specific and general topic area perspectives that we want to enhance our reporting capabilities.”
Robert Johnson, CEO of ESS, said, “The move to a browser-based system shows Sprague Energy’s commitment to compliance and operational excellence. By combining Compliance Manager, Task Manager and CyberRegs, the company will be able to dynamically manage the relationship between operations and regulations, all the way down to identifying the tasks that may apply to rule changes. We look forward to a long and productive relationship with Sprague.”
Essential Suite™ enables organizations to support EH&S regulatory reporting and generate performance metrics to drive operational expenses and risk out of business. The fully integrated suite also enables users to leverage compliance data in support of emergency response activities.
