How can you be everywhere at once, all of the time?

As the person responsible for your company's EHS performance, you are expected to know everything that happens in your organization. You're accountable for recording and tracking incidents, ensuring corrective actions are taken, and that each facility is in compliance with a long list of applicable standards and regulations (e.g., OSHA, RIDDOR, ISO 45001). It’s a formidable task, especially if you’re overseeing a large workforce that is spread out over multiple facilities, and in some cases, across continents.

In today's competitive global marketplace, companies expect EHS managers to move beyond compliance and align with industry best practices, more effectively manage organizational risk, drive operational efficiency, lead sustainability initiatives, and contribute to the bottom line. Failure in any of these areas can have serious and long term consequences for the health of employees and the organization, potentially resulting in injuries or fatalities, lost production and revenues, negative press and adverse impacts to your company’s reputation.

In short, you can't afford to simply react to workplace incidents. You need a proactive approach. That requires having the right data at your fingertips, right when you need it, and that means EHS software. The right EHS software solution can be an invaluable addition to your business, but selecting the wrong system comes with risks of its own. Hidden costs, long implementation times and poor user adoption by employees can do more harm than good when it comes to workplace EHS performance.

The Simple Solution

Incident Management is at the heart of EHS, which is why we’ve made it the heart of the VelocityEHS Platform. Of course it’s impossible for you to be everywhere at once, but with the right EHS software solution your employees can record workplace incidents anywhere, anytime, and give you real-time visibility of EHS performance across your entire organization. The key is to keep it simple.

Some companies spend years, and hundreds of thousands of dollars on consultants and software to implement EHS systems that, in the end, fail to meet their needs. That’s because they forget that the most important part of an effective EHS software system is the people who use it. You rely on your employees to record critical EHS information in order to provide you with actionable data and informative metrics. If a system is too complex, how will you ever get your people to want to use it?

Our Incident Management solution allows your employees to quickly and easily report incidents and near misses, conduct comprehensive hazard IDs, and schedule corrective actions whether they're on-site or in the field. With our intuitive mobile design and the VelocityEHS Mobile App, they can do it all right from their tablet or smartphone, even when they're offline. By providing EHS professionals with the ability to easily view safety information across the organization, our solution opens up new opportunities to ensure compliance, improve performance, and build a more proactive workplace EHS culture.
