The Dresser-Rand Company Implements Comprehensive Health, Safety & Environment Management Software from KMI


Houston, TX, May 16, 2007 -- Demonstrating its ongoing global commitment to industry leading safety and environmental stewardship, the Dresser-Rand Company is implementing a comprehensive Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) Management Information System from Knowledge Management Innovations, Ltd. (KMI). The system will provide comprehensive tools including Incident Management, Audit & Inspection, Compliance, Training Tracking, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 Management and comprehensive Corrective Action Management.

According to Joe Megginson, Corporate Director of Health, Safety and Environment, "Dresser-Rand has always been committed to the safety and health of our people and responsible environmental stewardship in the communities in which we live and operate. The implementation of this new system is the next logical step in our continued leadership in our industry. It will increase individual accountability and decrease the time our people have to spend on data management. This will allow us to focus more on proactive safety and environmental stewardship initiatives and increased productivity."

The system is being rolled out to all world-wide Dresser-Rand manufacturing and service facilities in North and South America, Asia-Pacific and European Service Areas. For maximum accessibility at all locations, the new HSE management information system will be available in local languages including Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian and Chinese. Statistical roll up reporting of incident, root cause, audit and environmental data will be available at the facility, regional and corporate levels. Comparison of these results to goals and benchmarks is a key component of Dresser-Rand's progressive safety and environmental performance program.
