Industrial companies should implement a process to identify significant environmental aspects related to their own activities, products or services that should be taken care of as priorities. In addition, these organizations should determine their current situation regarding the environment, by reviewing the information obtained through research works on events and accidents associated with meaningful environmental aspects, as well as its consequences for the environment and business management. With the aim of monitoring the productive processes with the highest impact of accidents, and of adapting the inner procedure for the management of reports on incidents, events, and breakdowns of the mining-metallurgical company Ernesto Che Guevara (ECG), this paper intends to present the socio-economic impact brought about by the development of an information system for the comprehensive management of environmental incidents and accidents within the industry sector, capable of ensuring an improvement in the process led by the specialists from the industrial safety and environment group of the aforementioned company.
