It is vital to maintain accurate records of any and all accidents in the workplace, whether or not injuries to employees are sustained. With a well-designed healthy and safety software system, every incident that occurs can be logged without delay and shared with the appropriate personnel.

1. Why Health and Safety
Software Is a Good Idea
for Your Business
Managing health and safety in the workplace is a very important task and,
owing to the stringent regulations which must be adhered to at all times, not
one that any company can afford to neglect. Traditionally, this has been a task
accomplished with the aid of dozens of thick folders crammed full of rules and
regulations, records of regular inspections, training programmes & notes for
individual employees, and detailed reports of any incidents occurringon
company property. Whilst there is nothing wrong with using a paper-based
system in theory, and companies still need to maintain the ability to produce
physical documents when required, amodern system, based on a well-
designed software suite, can make life much easier for those whose
responsibilities include managing corporate health and safety issues.

2. How Exactly Can a Software Based System Help?
Before you invest in a new system, it is important to know what your primary
goals are and, more importantly, how health and safety software can help you
to achieve them more easily than is currently the case.
 Compliance Management–A system that centralises reports, inspections,
training programmes, and other aspects of health and safety in the
workplace makes it much easier to conduct companywide performance
audits. Ensuring compliance across all departments in your organisation
will be simpler to achieve when you can audit the performance of each
department at a moment’s notice, from a single location. Furthermore,
the ability to centrally manage all communications with regulatory
authorities should mean that there is no possibility of deadlines for
required actions being missed.
 Assessing Risks –With a module dedicated to this particular task,
creating and sharing newrisk assessments will be a straightforward
process. Such a module will also enable you to prioritise assessments to
ensure that the most urgent ones are tackled first. Once completed,
each risk assessment can be viewed by any employee with the necessary
login credentials and administrative privileges.
 Reporting of Accidents/Incidents – It is vital to maintain accurate records
of any and all accidents in the workplace, whether or not injuries to
employees are sustained. With a well-designed healthy and safety
software system, every incident that occurs can be logged without delay
and shared with the appropriate personnel. Accurate records will allow
you to formulate plans of action to rectify problem areas that are
identified, thereby reducing the likelihood of similar accidents occurring
in the future.
 Management of Claims – Claims arising from accidents in the workplace
can be a very expensive business, especially for companies without
accurate records of health and safety procedures. Managing claims with
a software system that can link each claim to the relevant records will
make it much easier for your company to defend itself against any legal
action arising as a result of accidents at work.
