ecoPortal's Health and Safety Software: Empowering Safety Leaders to Keep People Safe

When evaluating health and safety management solutions, choose a software that’s intuitive and easy to use, even by people who aren’t comfortable with technology.  A clean and modern interface will help staff to use the system effectively without needing hours of training.

The safety software should be accessible to all staff  and not limited to a few paid users. It should be accessible on multiple devices, for example on mobile devices for staff on-the-go.

A good health and safety system will allow end-to-end workflows to be performed in offline mode for situations where internet access may be limited, with the data sync taking place once the internet connection is established again.

Integration with other systems like Payroll and HR systems, other risk management systems or data warehouse systems will save on administrative time and costs.

Partner with a health and safety software company that has a good support team to train and onboard staff and solve problems or implement new requirements quickly.

A safety software with real time reporting of health, safety and other risks, trends from incidents and near misses, will help health and safety teams get to the root of the problem quickly and minimise risk. These are some of the criteria to look for when choosing  the right safety software for your business.

The right safety software can help organisations not only achieve compliance but increase staff engagement, minimise risk and incidents, and shift to a culture of care.

For frontline workers, logging events are fast and easy on desktop and on mobile (for field staff). Real time reporting means staff do not have to wait till the end of the day to file incident reports, they can do them instantly and with rich media like audio, video , images and geotagging. Health and safety managers can get a complete report of a near miss or an incident in minutes. Forms are easy to fill with buttons, dropdowns, datepickers and are limited to the critical information. An easy-to-use, accessible system improves staff engagement in health and safety.

For safety managers, it provides a complete overview of risks with live dashboards and real time reports showing trends and comparisons. For multiple locations, view reports by branch or region, assign tasks with automatic reminders and escalations.

For Boards and Officers, reports are live and always up to date, staying compliant is easy with notifications when requirements change, audit reports can be generated quickly and shared with auditors.

For organisations using contractors, prequalification, onboarding and site access is simplified, risk information is shared and easy to report, and contractor activity can be monitored and reviewed effectively

Another overarching benefit is efficiency, with reporting and safety information always at one's fingertips.

Like any software, it’s important to consider variables that are not specifically product features to determine the best safety software for you:

• Implementation and onboarding services
• Ongoing customer support
• Relevant industry experience
• Customer referrals
• Price
