How EHS Mobile Apps can enable a greater risk awareness throughout an organization and increase employee engagement.
Incident Reporting and Inspection and Auditing Apps are the primary source to improve workplace safety using Mobile Apps.
Incident Reporting allows employees to record Incidents, Hazards and Near-Misses. By reporting these events employees help to reduce accidents and help the organization better manage any accidents that may occur.
Incidents will be by far the smaller number of events that occur in a facility but reporting hazards and near misses will drive down the number of incidents further.
Providing workers with EHS Mobile Apps allowing them to perform inspections in the field and report incidents, hazards and near-misses will drive employee engagement and improve workplace safety. For Apps to be effective they must be intuitive, where the employee needs no training and that must allow employees to quickly and anonymously report hazards and near misses. Apps should be native and must operate offline in areas where there is no internet connection.
Using Apps will produce immediate benefits, including: 1) A large amount of observational data, and 2) significant time savings in reporting observations and conducting inspections and 3) improve employee engagement and also contribute to enable a greater risk awareness by extending visibility into frontline operations.
Having greater risk awareness of what’s going on in the field also means implementing control measures quicker, and therefore reducing incidents. A workplace injury caused by an unknown risk is bad enough. Imagine a workplace injury caused by a risk that was known, but that was taking days or weeks to make it through the process before controls were put in place. EHS mobile apps accelerate the identification of risks (through observations), the implementation of control measures (through action plans), and the verification of control measures (through inspections).
