How to Ensure Effective Safety Management Across All Locations?

Numerous families are affected daily by the death of a loved one simply because they went to work. Many companies are operating within global markets with differing regulations as they relate to Environmental Health and Safety. There are few global initiatives to standardize training for workers that would reduce barriers to a safe and healthful workplace. A type of workplace that everyone is rightfully entitled to. How do we lessen the confusion and keep employees safe?

A well-designed enterprise safety software tool to manage companywide safety processes and organized them into a centralized location can ensure the health and wellness of your employees with automation. Automation will force standardization of processes, data collection, and recordkeeping. When analyzing program data you will achieve far more success with technology on your side.

Consider companies with locations throughout the United States and even global locations. For example, Company ABC has struggled with incidents and injury trends that are common across all locations. They are tasked with jurisdictional regulatory compliance at each location not only for safety but environmental compliance as well. The company many years ago implements a formal job hazard analysis that identified each step of the work being performed, the hazards associated with each step, and preventative or corrective measures to prevent exposure to hazards. However, each location had their own terms or language, process unique to the site, varying training instructors, no central data repository, no baseline knowledge training, varying site specific hazards, and loose management of EHS programs. Locations did not share any data about successes implemented or hazards associated with, etc.

Safety Management Software is becoming a great tool to implement a standardized automated Job Hazard Analysis process as part of an initiative to track hazards and compare and share data with all locations. Even performing a JHA has become much easier. Gone are the days of collecting forms from begrudging supervisors that throw them on the floor of a work truck. Safety teams and department heads can more clearly prioritize risks and even anticipate where an incident can occur.

Technology has successfully shown that it can help drive leadership by making data more readily available. This will make the data more usable for setting key focus and getting resources. The software system will enable efficient analysis of an organization’s safety data so that management can best understand how to prioritize resources ensuring the concept of continuous improvement – a crucial component of any successful safety program – now becomes an integral part of the process.
