Case Study: CSX achieves automated medical surveillance and $500K annual savings with Cority

How CSX Transportation, Inc. overcame the lack of automation on their processes

CSX, a North American rail carrier with ~25,000 employees, faced major compliance and efficiency challenges because hearing conservation and respiratory protection testing were managed manually across a vast geographic footprint. The lack of automation and reporting meant some employees were tested unnecessarily while others were missed, so CSX selected Cority and its Occupational Health and Industrial Hygiene solutions to address the problem.

Cority implemented its Occupational Health and Industrial Hygiene suites with dedicated consultants, automating medical surveillance by linking HR demographics with exposure data to drive annual recall lists and supervisor notifications. As a result, Cority enabled real-time reporting and performance tracking and helped CSX cut mobile medical testing costs from $1.2M to $700K annually — roughly $500,000 in savings — while improving compliance visibility.
