About The Customer

The customer in this case study is the Provincial Ministry of Environment. The Ministry is responsible for managing the provincial Forestry Program and ensuring that it minimizes any environmental impacts. They are also responsible for maintaining compliance with environmental regulations and standards, including ISO 14001 Certification. The Ministry has employees spread across the province who need access to up-to-date compliance documentation. They also have a need for a system that can help manage tasks and ensure that time-sensitive activities are completed on schedule.

The Challenge

The Provincial Ministry of Environment was seeking to attain ISO 14001 Certification. They required an Environmental Management System (EMS) solution that could manage the provincial Forestry Program, including tracking, monitoring, and evaluation to minimize any environmental impacts. The Ministry also needed a tool to efficiently manage and consolidate all compliance-related documentation, ensuring that the necessary employees from across the province could access the most up-to-date information. They wanted a system that would help each user manage their tasks, ensuring all time-sensitive activities were completed on schedule.

The Solution

The Ministry implemented the Intelex Environmental Management System. This system had a special focus on Document Control, Maintenance Measuring & Monitoring, Environmental Incident Reporting, Nonconformances, Corrective / Preventative Actions, and Internal & External Communications. Intelex’s technical support ensured a seamless implementation of the EMS system and continue to provide strong ongoing support to make sure all questions and concerns are solved in a timely manner. The email notification function of the system ensures all users are aware of the tasks they are required to complete, aiding managers to easily monitor progress, and minimize the possibility of missing deadlines.

Operational Impact

Achieved ISO 14001 certification in October of 2003, with the ability to sustain certification and pass all future internal and external audits.
Ability to develop and build annual goals and targets into the system in order to track, measure and minimize the organization’s impacts on the environment.
Ability to consolidate internal documentation, making it easy for all 115 employees from across the province to securely access necessary documentation, ensuring all users have the most up to date information and are following the same policies and procedures.
