Case Study: Advanced Drainage Systems achieves streamlined safety and consolidated EHS management with VelocityEHS

Top Manufacturer Streamlines Safety with A Switch to Velocityehs

Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS), the world’s largest manufacturer of polyethylene pipe products with more than 4,000 employees across 40 locations, was managing worker safety and compliance with multiple underperforming EHS systems. Frustrated by separate tools for injury reporting/OSHA logs and inspections/audits, ADS set out in 2013 to find a single, more capable solution and selected VelocityEHS after a thorough evaluation.

VelocityEHS replaced ADS’s disparate providers with a consolidated platform—starting with injuries, inspections, compliance and email reminders—delivering immediate efficiencies in data entry, follow-up, communication and corrective action. The intuitive system drove higher user adoption and morale, while responsive implementation and ongoing support smoothed the transition; ADS recommends a phased rollout and dedicated back-end support to maximize results.
