Then another employee comes across this issue and experiences an accident because of a lack of response to the close call. An effective risk management system goes above and beyond in tracking and assessing risks and close calls proactively. Instead of waiting for an accident to happen, organizations that use a high-quality risk assessment software handle workplace dangers before they escalate. In addition, these businesses track the risk management process from start to finish. From the moment a workplace danger is located to the instant it is resolved, businesses can report on each development in the process, finally alerting its employees the moment the issue is resolved.

Accessible and User-friendly

To make sure all employees have access to an EHS tool, it’s imperative that businesses deploy a user-friendly interface. Although it may take for users to full adopt it, an EHS solution should never be overly complicated. The less user-friendly a solution is, the less likely employees will be to use it, especially if they’re dealing with hectic schedules. If your business wants to make sure all employees know how to use the technology to the fullest, it may be beneficial to hold a training session for staff to become proficient users of this technology.

Just as important as ease of use is EHS system is accessibility. When employees have to go back to their desks to report a potential hazard or close call in the workplace, they may forget about it by the time they go to report it. Or, even worse, they may not be able to report this incident immediately, meaning one of their coworkers may come into contact with this hazard before it can be reported and dealt with. A mobile solution allows employees to report the emergence of workplace risks at the moment they come across them. Not only does this allow for updated information, but it also immediately alerts managers and business leaders of issues they need to find solutions to.
