A quality safety management system recognizes the need for metrics, and provides data to benchmark against. Best in class employers choose to complete audits & inspections at routine intervals (weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-annual etc.).  These activities benchmark performance to our company wide goals.  From a first aid perspective, they tell us where to “apply pressure” to stop the bleeding in the various parts of our safety systems.

There are several tripwires throughout the process.  Two include a proper understanding of the Formal Workplace Inspection Process, another is action item tracking.  This is because administratively, the distribution and upkeep of the system is typically done at the next meeting. The result is a group of people sitting around a table, scratching their heads trying to confirm if they completed a task.  Meanwhile, tasks go undone increasing safety and litigation risk.

Add accuracy and accountability to your compliance activities with hierarchy based notifications, live updates, picture and video embedded directly into inspection forms.  Track action items and accountabilities with automated reminders.

At first glance, the “Training Cycle” seems fairly benign.  Put simply, it looks like this:

Onboard worker → Collect certifications → Analyze & fill training gaps → Track expiry dates → Retrain

In reality, it’s very different.  Most of us have tried to get by with spreadsheets, and formulas that should provide us with the means calculating our needs.  Though it’s heavily administrative, and subject to data entry errors, often it’s the best we’ve got.

The ultimate resolution to the challenge is our “Training & Record Management System” (TRMS), and our “Automated Training Matrix Administration”.  A ground-breaking process automation that includes delivery of training content and competency evaluation – directly to the worker and his supervisor via email. Choose to leverage our online training course library, and our TRMS will automate every step of your process including content delivery, while safeguarding your process against data errors.

No tool pays company-wide dividends as well as a robust, hazard identification, assessment and control process.  A thorough and accurate risk analysis shows that a worker understands their task, and associated risks to people, property and themselves.

If your company has been practicing risk assessment for a while, chances are you have several types available.  Industry recognizes them under many names that often change from one organization to another, but they’ll usually be divided up into assessments that are done in the field on a per task basis, with varying degrees of vigor based on whether the task is routine or more unique.  There are also larger more complicated risk assessments that run project wide.

leverage the power of your safety management system by making your risk assessment library universally accessible, automating delivery incorporating video, and pictures into your process. Create custom evaluations for your worksite guiding your employees through the steps you deem necessary throughout your process using a single powerful software suite.

In the unfortunate event of a near miss, or an incident an incident investigation is necessary.  The ultimate goal of an incident investigation is to identify the root cause (the initial condition that lead to the incident) and take action to prevent it from happening again.  Organizations may use any one of hundreds of investigation methodologies, the most common include Root Cause Analysis, 5 Whys, “S.C.A.T Analysis” etc…  Read more about incident analysis methods here.

The most significant step in preventing recurrence is standardizing your investigation process, creating reliable, repeatable results.  Second is understanding your trends, and what they tell you about the tasks and observations within your business.  A robust investigation process paired with a hazard observation program will provide insight that will save Your Workers a lifetime of pain, and provide the foundation to eliminate expensive compensation fees.

Our powerful software suite can run any analysis method, access historical investigations and trending data with the touch of a button.  Standardize and automate your process at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods.

We work with contractors every day.  Perhaps we choose them because they are the best in the business, or on the other end of the spectrum, because they were a steal of a deal.  As a prime contractor, you’ll be responsible for their safety performance, and even incur additional long-term costs if their safety performance is sub-par.

In either case, a standardized contractor management program including prequalification, periodic inspections and audits will go a long way in ensuring compliance with your contractual safety requirements and meeting your minimum safety requirements.
