Chemical Safety Software’s Extended
Partnership with ENSCO Leads Industry Direction

Emeryville, CA, April 30, 1999:

Chemical Safety Software and Environmental Systems Company (ENSCO) have signed a new multi-year agreement extending and expanding their alliance to provide waste management software in conjunction with disposal services. The original agreement signed in 1996 was the first of its kind in the industry, joining information management and waste operations in one comprehensive package and setting an industry standard for service excellence. The new agreement extends use of ERIS/EMS to ENSCO’s U.S. customers. The agreement provides for program enhancements including Web data retrieval and reporting capabilities, as well as network and client-server based solutions.

Chemical Safety has provided ENSCO with waste management software for over five years. More than 100 of ENSCO’s customers are using the program developed specifically for managing information for hazardous waste. "One of the most successful and popular service initiatives ENSCO has undertaken is the provision of information management software. Environmental managers are learning that accountability makes control of information as important to their companies as control of hazardous waste," says Curtis Baker, ENSCO Systems Manager.

The partnership reduces waste generators’ liability risk by providing electronic transfer of information throughout the disposal process. Manifest, label and other information is transferred to the ERIS/EMS system from ENSCO, in effect, eliminating data entry work for the customer and reducing regulatory reporting to a few simple steps.

The continuing collaboration will create features that further streamline the waste management process. New capabilities will link business systems, such as purchasing or MRP/ERP, to their ERIS/EMS waste management program and to Chemical Safety’s comprehensive Environmental Management Systems (EMS) software. This feature allows data to flow directly from industry leading database platforms.

Chemical Safety Software has been an industry leader in environmental information management systems for over 10 years. It is located in Northern California, with regional offices in Chicago and an international subsidiary in Athens, Greece. Chemical Safety offers state-of-the-art management and compliance solutions to manufacturers, research labs, universities, utility companies, public safety and emergency response agencies.

Founded in 1977, Environmental Systems Company (ENSCO) is one of the largest and most experienced waste transport and disposal companies in the US. ENSCO is the only company in the hazardous waste industry to hold ISO 9002 Certification.
