When is the last time you re-evaluated your company’s EHS software needs? Whether you’re new to EHS software or have been using it for years, there’s no better time than the new year to investigate how a change to your current systems can help you create a safer workplace.
It might not come wrapped in shiny paper with a pretty bow, but improving your EHS program for next year means a better place to work. And there’s no better gift than knowing your job is as safe and secure from potential hazards as possible.
What are your EHS goals for 2018? Fewer incidents? More training? A reduction in errors when recording data?
Whatever areas you’re wanting to improve, the right EHS software solution can help you get there.
Think of the current headaches you experience on the job. Are you having trouble keeping track of training completion? Do you feel like audits and inspections take too long to complete? Do your team members have to rely on multiple resources to find answers or information?
EHS software makes your job (and that of your workers) easier by streamlining repetitive and time-consuming tasks. It helps you track key metrics by clustering data in a central location. It makes it easier to develop insights into seemingly unrelated areas of your operations.
As a result, you can reduce man-hours spent on tasks, which also reduces costs associated with these tasks. Your team can find answers quickly without having to rely on someone else. Best of all, you get more time to focus on other areas of your program to continue improving your company’s EHS operations.
Just like you make improvements to your program, your EHS software should continually improve, too. Because regulatory requirements evolve, new technology creates new challenges, and new safety issues continue to emerge, using outdated EHS software could potentially be more hazardous to your company than not using any software.
Part of what you get when you partner with an EHS software vendor is integrated updates to ensure you’re using the latest software version. Your software solution scales with your business and industry requirements to keep your program current and effective.
Combine this feature with the other benefits of using EHS software, and you truly have the gift that keeps on giving to your company.
If it’s been a while since you evaluated the efficiency of your programs, do yourself a favor and investigate what’s working well and what can be improved. You may find you’ve outgrown your current (or outdated) software solution, or that better options exist.
While most of your team members are dreaming of electronic gadgets, toys, and games, you’re in the best position to give them a more meaningful gift this holiday season – the gift of a safe place to work.
