Ex3 Success Stories
Intel Corporation
Intel is a leader in EHS performance and has a track record of heightening the health and safety performance of not only their employees but also the contractors that work for them and the communities in which they are located. The Ex3 enterprise EHS software solution was implemented at Intel 1996 and modules have been in production for over 20 years at Intel, allowing managers to better their case investigations, management and gather indicators to further lower if not eliminate injuries and illnesses from the workplace. In 2001, the National Safety Council awarded the Green Cross for Safety to Intel for “exemplary commitment to workplace safety.” The following are some the exemplary results achieved by Intel in partnership with Ex3:
Decrease in Worker’s Compensation reports from 1119 cases to 485 over a 5-year period. (This was as the overall head count rose dramatically from 41,138 to 69,353 employees)
Decreased Worker’s Compensation Case cost per employee of $110 to $33 per case over a 5-year period.
Prior to the Ex3 system implementation, average days away were 14. Since implementation, average reduced to 2 days.
Dollars saved by placing workers on modified duty savings (salary and replacement salary): $6,170,720.00 per year.*
Fewer recordable injuries and illnesses and Lost Day Cases (LDC): case managers were able to lower the Recordable rate which was 3.6 in 1993 to a world-leading .20 in 2004, saving over $65 million dollars through LDC reduction.
Armed with the ability to focus their decision on specific areas, managers instituted programs that resulted in the reduction of Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs) by over 70 percent.
Corporate-wide data roll-up that typically has to take 2-4 months to accomplish and was available only on an annual basis now takes only seconds to produce and is real-time across the organization.
Costs that were avoided or saved with Medical Monitoring Management: employees have the ability to enter and update dynamic questionnaires without a visit to nursing office leading to the following savings. Tech time saved: $90,500 per year; nurse time saved: $64,500 per year; data entry time saved: $90,500 per year; cost avoidance – biostatistician: $17,000 per year; Total Medical Monitoring Savings: $262,500 per year.*

NASA
When NASA experienced the second shuttle disaster Ex3 was called in to help.
In May of 2003, NASA selected the Ex3 enterprise EHS software solution and implementation of the Ex3 system was completed at all NASA centers by June of 2004. Ex3 then assumed responsibility for all aspects of providing, hosting and supporting NASA’s agency-wide safety system from 2004 through the end of the space shuttle program in 2012.
In addition to being a replacement of obsolete functionality, the design and scalability of the Ex3 enterprise EHS Software system led to changes in how the data was gathered across NASA.
In June 2005, The NASA Group Achievement Award was presented to the NASA and Ex3 combined project team for “exceptional support in the design, build, and NASA agency wide deployment of a new Web-based enhanced Incident Reporting and Information System.” This is the most prestigious group award given to NASA and contractor employees, according to NASA Human Resources.
Benefits realized by NASA through the use of the Ex3 enterprise EHS software solution
Improved communications between safety professionals, supervisors, medical and workers compensations, and on- and off-site contractors were achieved. Standard reports were now being provided. The NASA/ Ex3 system provided a means of “one stop” data collection allowing for standardized reports to be auto-generated for senior management and analysts.
Information access: “the right information to the right people at the right time”. The implementation of the Ex3 enterprise EHS software solution resulted in the elimination of multiple dysfunctional and redundant databases. “One NASA” database with web accessibility became ready for use by all new projects and contractors. Real-time agency wide Information became easily accessible to senior management.
Tracking and closure of corrective actions: The Ex3 enterprise EHS software solution at NASA supported the assignment, notification & tracking of corrective actions along with instant visibility into status, “time to closure.”
Structured data entry, trending, analysis and standardized entry have allowed for improved reporting and data collection while immediate performance metric for analysis support management decision-making processes.
Above all, efficient engineering of NASA processes and safety systems by Ex3 streamlined tracking of all “incidents” including building and facility inspections, fire safety inspections, and security incidents to report unprecedented cost savings for the agency.

Los Alamos National Laboratory
After Los Alamos National Laboratory experienced the massive Cerro Grande forest fire of 2000 Ex3 was called in to help.
As fire threatened the facility first responders had inadequate knowledge of specific contents of threatened laboratories. This hindered their ability to properly plan and execute proper protective practices. Ex3 was hired to implement our enterprise EHS software solution including modules for chemical inventory management and the tracking of laser and radiological sealed sources and select biologic agents. Ex3 implemented the Ex3 enterprise EHS solution Laboratory wide.
When the Las Conchas fire hit Los Alamos in 2011, first responders knew exactly what was in each and every laboratory and had the knowledge and preparation to property protect the facility.
United States Military
During operation Iraqi Freedom Ex3 was chosen by the US Army to assist in finding ways to protect US Military support staff and military personnel to ensure the operational readiness of US military troop deployments. Ex3 was hired to work with DuPont Safety Resources to implement the Worker Safety Pilot EHS system for occupational health promotion at select US Army based. This project served as a proof of concept that eventually led to the DOD wide multi-billion dollar contract for electronic medical records. Ex3 helped to demonstrate the value and efficiency that could be gained through the implementation of the DOD wide electronic medical records and health management system.
US Department of Defense
Having been recognized by the pentagon as a best in class technology provider, Ex3 was requested by the Office of the Secretary of Dense (OSD) to participate in the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) for Operational Risk Management This entailed Ex3 working directly with all branches of the US Military to devise methods for pre operational risk assessments for military and non-military operations, identifying potential hazards and associated risk to mission success and formal methods for planning for the mitigation of hazards that may arise. Ex3 solutions were implemented across the US Military for educational dissemination of ORM education and formal tools for mission planning and execution.
