TrueNorth Steel Strengthens Safety with Centralized Data Management

TrueNorth

TrueNorth Steel is a leading U.S. steel products supplier and manufacturer with more than 75 years of industry experience. Headquartered in North Dakota, the company employs over 800 people and operates multiple manufacturing facilities across several states. TrueNorth Steel is committed to delivering high-quality products while maintaining a strong emphasis on safety, reliability, and operational excellence.

TrueNorth Steel struggled with inconsistent, inaccurate safety data that made reporting and trend analysis difficult. Their understaffed safety team spent excessive time manually organizing and validating information across multiple disconnected systems. The company also lacked a unified platform to manage incidents, audits, observations, OSHA data, and SDS files. They needed an integrated, easy-to-use system to standardize data, improve visibility, and streamline safety operations.

SafetyIQ implemented key modules—including Incident Reporting, Safety Observations, Audits & Inspections, and SDS Management—to centralize all safety workflows. These tools provided structured, consistent processes for capturing hazards, tracking incidents, and ensuring compliance across all sites. Employees gained quick access to essential safety data and could report issues directly from the field. The unified platform improved user experience while giving leadership a clear, real-time view of company-wide safety performance.

TrueNorth Steel standardized safety reporting across all facilities, enabling site-level learnings to be shared at the company level. Accurate, clean data eliminated manual corrections and gave the safety team real-time reporting capabilities. SDS access improved dramatically after transitioning from MSDSOnline, allowing teams to retrieve critical information instantly. With comprehensive data available across all locations, TrueNorth Steel now makes more informed, proactive, and company-wide safety decisions.
