Press Room

Monday, October 15, 2007 — 3E Company®, the leading provider of Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) compliance and information management services, today announced that it has won two Workplace HR & Safety Commitment to Worker Safety Awards. The company has won eight awards in the last five years. The consistent multiple wins further solidify 3E Company's leadership in the EH&S regulatory compliance market.

3E Company's 3E Online-MSDS, an industry-leading Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) management solution, was honored as Best in MSDS Services. 3E Company's growing REACH (Europe's Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) practice achieved Best in Environmental Management, which validates the Company's early leadership role in supporting industry requirements for this new and demanding EU regulatory framework. This is the third year in a row that 3E Online-MSDS has been recognized as the Best in MSDS Services, and the second consecutive year that 3E Company has won the Best in Environmental Management category.

Each year, the Workplace HR & Safety Commitment to Worker Safety Award recognizes outstanding achievements and innovation in safety equipment product development. A panel of impartial industry experts evaluated each entry based on innovation, impact on worker safety, and ease of use. Workplace HR & Safety magazine will present the 9th Annual Commitment to Worker Safety Awards on October 15 during the National Safety Congress in Chicago. The winners also appear in the print edition of Workplace HR & Safety, as well as in the magazine's Email Report.

"As new hazards emerge and as end users identify ways that product manufacturers and training companies can improve their offerings, it is important to recognize the accomplishments of innovators such as 3E Company in the safety industry," said Betty Hintch, editor, Workplace HR & Safety.

"We are proud to be the only EH&S regulatory compliance solution provider to receive multiple awards year after year," said Robert S. Christie, CEO and president, 3E Company. "Being recognized by an independent institution as prestigious and highly-regarded as Workplace HR & Safety is great validation of 3E Company's dedication to providing our customers with the most innovative products and services available."
