Safety inspection software isn’t just a way to make your life easier. It’s a way to ensure that your workers have a safe, healthy environment to use every day and can go home to their families each day.
So when you invest in safety inspection software, you’re not just investing in regulatory compliance. You’re investing in your workers’ health and wellbeing and showing that you’re willing to put in the effort.
Still considering whether inspection software is the right fit for your safety team? Here are three reasons safety software is the perfect tool to ensure comprehensive safety inspections, every single time.
Safety inspections only work if they’re consistent. After all, you can’t guarantee that you’re meeting safety standards across the board if you check different things every time.
And if several inspectors neglect the same thing, you could have a festering safety issue on your hands.
One of the biggest benefits of safety inspection software is that it guarantees consistency in the collection and filing of data. You can get a clear picture of the playing field every time, even if you have different inspectors.
It also allows your inspectors to work more efficiently. They can easily access reports and historical data, and it’s easy for them to submit their findings no matter where they are.
It’s one thing to spot workplace hazards. It’s another to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) maintains a long list of regulations for specific safety issues and specific industries. They’re not the only ones regulating your safety practices, either, and those regulations are being updated all the time.
Conducting audits isn’t enough to ensure safety. You have to make sure that you’re auditing the right things and using the right metrics.
This is where inspection software can help. Third-party providers keep the software up-to-date with the latest regulatory changes so that you can conduct inspections with peace of mind.
Inspection software also has serious administrative benefits as well.
Let’s say your employees maintain safety data sheets. And let’s say you need to find one specific datasheet for an audit. Have you ever tried to find a record only to find that it isn’t anywhere that it’s supposed to be?
Sorting out the record problem can take far too long. Worse, you may not be able to find the record at all, which means you don’t have what you need to show compliance.
Software eliminates such problems by handling the record-keeping process for you. Instead of relying on employees to file records in the right cabinet, you can rely on the software to save the relevant data in the proper location.
And since you can access your records easily, it’s also easier to build and maintain a schedule for your safety team. It’s easy to see the last time you did an audit and what you found, which makes it easy to schedule the next one.
Safety inspection software is one of the best investments you can make for your safety team. It’s a way to make their jobs easier and ensure that you’re meeting regulatory standards, all in one tool.
Of course, not all software systems are created equal.
We know that when you buy inspection software, you’re not just looking for a program. You’re looking for a tool that will work for your team, no matter what might get thrown their way. You need a solution that adapts with you to meet your biggest challenges head-on.
