1) Winston-Salem, NC – EI was contacted by Pace Airlines, headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in an effort to develop and implement a hearing conservation program for their employees nationwide. EI performed mobile audiometric testing at local facilities and created an online user account for Pace Airlines’ Safety and Health Department, through which they are able to manage the audiometric test data for each employee across the country, quickly and easily. EI received the following letter of commendation from Pace Airlines:

Dear EI,

On behalf of Pace Airlines, I wanted to thank you for the outstanding service that EI, Inc. provides. In September, 2003, Pace Airlines chose EI, Inc. for our OSHA hearing conservation program. It was apparent to us that you understood our needs, worked with us, made suggestions and established a relationship.

On the day of initial testing, we worked with EI technician, John Martin. We found him to be professional, knowledgeable and eager to assist. Also we are very pleased with EI Inc.’s audiometric website (http://assessor.ei1.com). We are using other audiometric testing facilities in other states. The results are then forwarded to Pace Airlines and I am entering these tests into EI’s website. It is very user friendly and results are viewed quickly.

Pace Airlines would recommend EI Inc. and staff to any future client.

Regards,

Rita Simas
Manager of Drug Abatement / OSHA Compliance

2) Watermark, Easley, SC - EI provided a quotation for hearing conservation services including on-site audio van testing. At that time the company elected to use a local vendor to provide these services. A year later we were contacted by the company with a request to provide on-site audio van testing services. We then provided them with an additional quotation and testing schedule. The company received an OSHA inspection at which time they were advised by OSHA that their current hearing conservation services did not meet the requirements of the noise standard. They were not given a citation because they produced the letter from EI showing they were scheduled for audio van testing.

3) Serenex, Durham, NC – EI received a call from this Proteomics company that they needed fit testing for several employees before they could begin using a new million dollar storage facility for their hazardous waste. The fit testing had to be provided within two days. EI provided the fit testing and training the next day for effected employees in order to accommodate their need to use the new storage facility.

4) B3 Systems - Raleigh, NC - EI received a call from an Air Monitoring Company in Raleigh looking for assistance in respirator fit testing and respirator training for their employees. The company was sending their employees to Houston, TX for these services. After discussing their needs and what types of respirators they used EI was able to provide them on-site fit testing on an as needed basis. They have been very pleased with EI’s services, which have proven to be very cost effective as they no longer have the expense of travel to Houston, TX.

5) HCS Medical Systems - Greenville, NC - EI received an urgent request for respirator fit testing. The company was unable to locate anyone in their area to provide this service. One employee needed the fit test immediately, which EI provided at corporate headquarters in Morrisville, North Carolina. They were pleased that EI could accommodate them in such a timely manner and contracted with EI to provide respirator fit testing at their facility for their other employees.

6) Town of Cary began utilizing EI CompWorks as their workers’ compensation TPA in 2001. In the beginning of the contract the Town’s replenishment account was established at 2.5 times their historical average monthly expenditures for workers’ compensation expenses. Upon re-evaluation two years into the contract, the Town’s average monthly expenditures had decreased by more than 30%. With this knowledge, we were able to reduce the monthly replenishment amount by 30%! Dale Johnson, Employee Benefits Manager, attributes this reduction to EI CompWorks pro-active claims management and its’ 24/7 nurse triage approach to management of claims.

7) EI CompWorks beats North Carolina average costs by more than 20%.
