2. Increased accessibility

Work in the EHS landscape requires employees to remain constantly on the move. They may not be able to review information on a desktop format several times a day, causing them to fall behind on important updates to the workflow. In addition, they may be less likely to report incidents and near misses when they need to go back to their desk to do so.

Having a mobile-based EHS strategy allows your workers to check in and make changes instantly and on the go. They can report a workplace hazard as soon as they notice it, giving timely updates to their co-workers and employers. If employees approach a situation they don’t know how to deal with, they can pull up an on-demand training video on the subject to see the proper way to handle a crisis or danger.

With accessibility to information at their fingertips, employees at EHS organizations are more empowered than ever before. A real-time approach in the workplace can lead to increased accuracy and immediate incident reporting, which in turn result in improved safety, compliance and communication.

3. Decreased insurance costs

You’re probably familiar with the high costs your organization has had to pay to cover for employees who have been injured on the job. Aside from the expenses for lost labor and medical bills that occur after each dangerous workplace incident, there’s one major way your business can lose money when it isn’t an accident-free space: insurance. Businesses that make an active effort to lower their workplace incident rates oftentimes see lower insurance costs than those that neglect sophisticated workplace accident reporting systems.

Insurers are likely to keep your workplace into consideration when building out your rates. If anything stands out to them that slightly resembles a red flag — such as an ignored incident or a breach in compliance — they might jack up your rates. Businesses that incur accidents on a frequent basis will likely pay a high cost for insurance, as they are considered high-risk. In contrast, organizations that take strides to reduce injury and accident rates through real-time reporting, extensive training and the adoption of EHS software might even receive discounts or savings in the form of lower claims costs from their insurance companies.
