Case Study: Large Food Company achieves stronger process safety management with Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions

How a Large Food Company Transformed Process Safety Management Through Digitalization

Large Food Company partnered with **Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions** after a major 2016 dust explosion at one of its main factories exposed serious process safety management (PSM) gaps. The incident caused a plant shutdown of more than six months, 9 fatalities, and 19 injuries, prompting the company to rebuild its PSM program and improve hazard identification, risk assessment, competency, and change management.

Using the **Enablon** platform, Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions helped the company digitize PSM with metrics management, audit management, incident management, and action plans. The solution enabled better tracking of corrective actions, gap closure, incident root-cause reviews, and KPI reporting across the business, resulting in more rigorous risk assessments, stronger management of change, improved process safety expertise, and greater visibility into PSM performance.
