Since 2022, CN has equipped employees across its network with a powerful tool to strengthen real-time safety reporting and hazard prevention: Enablon Go.
As part of CN’s Safety Management System, Enablon helps employees log and track near misses and hazardous conditions directly from their mobile or desktop devices. This tool gives voice to every employee and delivers the kind of transparency and responsiveness that’s critical to reducing risk and protecting people.
Real-Time Reporting in the Field
CN’s use of Enablon reflects a broader commitment to innovation in how safety is managed at every level of the organization. Designed for speed, accessibility, and clarity, Enablon enables:
- Direct reporting by employees without needing to go through a supervisor
- Upload of photos, video, or audio for enhanced context
- GPS-tagged submissions for accurate location tracking
- Anonymous reporting options for sensitive observations
- Systematic feedback when corrective actions are completed
The Enablon Go interface shows just how intuitive the process is. Users can report on the go, attach images, and receive notifications once hazards are addressed — all in one streamlined platform.
Turning Reports into Results
What sets Enablon apart isn’t just its technology — it’s how it connects reporting to resolution. Safety teams and managers can analyze trends, respond faster to site-specific issues, and put long-term improvements in place. The system has helped CN:
- Improve visibility across business units and geographies
- Accelerate the time from issue identification to resolution
- Empower employees with a direct role in building safer workplaces
Since its rollout, Enablon has been used to log over four thousand incidents and near misses — each one contributing to a safer and more informed railway.
Driving a Culture of Safety Leadership
Enablon’s impact reaches beyond the numbers. It’s helping to reinforce CN’s safety-first mindset, embedding proactive reporting into everyday work. Managers are trained to lead conversations using Enablon data. Frontline employees are supported with job aids and recorded sessions. Everyone is encouraged to speak up, take action, and follow through.
Looking Ahead
Three years in, CN’s investment in Enablon continues to pay off. As adoption expands and new features are added, the goal remains clear: ensure everyone goes home safely — every day.
Enablon is more than a reporting tool. It’s a reflection of CN’s safety culture in action — where every employee has the knowledge, the support, and the voice to help make our railway safer.
