PLANO, Texas (PRWEB)
August 03, 2023

SafetyStratus, an enterprise EHS software platform company that works with partners across a variety of industries to optimize Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) programs, announced that Hilary Framke, a progressive leader for EHS in industrial and commercial markets, has joined the company as the first Vice President of EHS solutions. In this role, she will guide SafetyStratus’ strategic plan for building a space for the EHS community to contribute their voice in the shaping of products that meet the needs and advance the work of the industry.

Before joining the SafetyStratus team, Framke served as the Head of EHS for a global business line within Siemens Healthineers. During her time in this position at the third largest medical device manufacturer in the world, Framke led the environmental, health, safety, sustainability, and functional strategy to achieve record-breaking results in environmental protection and total recordable incident rates (TRIR). In this last year, Framke spearheaded global projects for all 68,000 Siemens Healthineers employees in major risk categories including ergonomics, global standards in electrical safety and the control of hazardous energy, diversity and inclusion for gender equality in leadership roles, and more.

Commenting on her appointment to VP of EHS Solutions, Framke said, “I was first introduced to the SafetyStratus platform in 2012. At the time, my organization was investigating options in the EHS software space, and I agreed to a demo. I was blown away by how intuitive and user-friendly the system was. I’ve spent my entire career in the manufacturing industry as an EHS leader, directly facing the work-related risks that lead to employee injuries/illnesses, compliance exposure, and environmental impact. I know firsthand how frustrating it can be when a software solution doesn’t provide the efficiency that was promised. I’ve always been a leader committed to change and this position affords me the opportunity to shape the SafetyStratus system and services into the most effective EHS software on the market—serving the industry’s ultimate goal of reducing risk to prevent injuries and environmental harm.

My mind is buzzing with the potential to make a huge impact, not just with one organization, but with all those clients that SafetyStratus currently serves and those we will meet in the future. This new position enables me to walk behind the ‘technology curtain’ and have a seat at the table for product development, capability, functionality, and value. I want to secure this same privilege for as many EHS professionals as I can so that they too can contribute their past experiences and skills to the shaping of solutions for EHS issues in today’s workplace.”

Delving deeper into how this transition into a position within a software company appealed to her, Framke explained, “the modern workplace is facing new environmental, resource, and workforce challenges and opportunities. EHS practitioners are seeing the boundaries of their responsibilities being pushed to include sustainability, remote work risk control, and mental health. All the while, expectations to improve KPI performance and compliance assurance are becoming more aggressive. This push-and-pull between expectations, resources, and scope can only be resolved through technology-driven efficiency. Software that provides real-time insights using the power of EHS data is how EHS leaders can prioritize efforts that add immediate value and communicate the biggest risks to all levels of the organization, from executives to frontline leadership. I’m thrilled to contribute my professional EHS experiences to make a real difference in how software enables world-class EHS performance.”

Operating within an environment of continuous improvement, Framke will collaborate with the entire SafetyStratus team—from operations, sales, and marketing to product development. The scope of these interactions will include Framke contributing recommendations and oversight of changes that translate to improvements in productivity, business integration, remote work engagement, employee collaboration, and data visibility. SafetyStratus will be promoting opportunities to introduce Framke both internally and externally, leading to discussions on system performance, usage, satisfaction, and EHS thought leadership that are expected to positively impact current operations and the overall EHS industry.
