Digitizing Safety Inspections – Many companies are turning to software to manage various aspects of environmental, health and safety, especially when it comes to managing safety inspections.
For many industries, a complete shift to digital has been a gradual one, but many EHS departments are finding that transitioning to EHS software has made such a positive impact on their daily responsibilities they’re eager to move forward. Companies are looking to streamline and simplify their inspection processes.

The Problem with Paper Based Safety Inspections

Safety inspections have long been performed by hand, generally with check sheets and notes scribbled in corners or margins. Legibility of the final inspections could vary greatly. Any issues discovered during the inspection process would need to be noted for follow up at a later date. In some cases, findings would be transferred to a spreadsheet or other computerized form.
It’s a fairly standard process for companies, but software solutions, especially safety inspection software, are exposing many of the long-standing flaws of manual methods.

Manual Data Recording is Expensive

For starters, manual data recording can be expensive, especially if there’s double entry. Errors associated with manual data recording can be costly. If handwriting is illegible, certain findings aren’t properly documented, notes are overlooked, and follow up isn’t enforced, the results of your safety inspection won’t be complete or effective.

Paper based Inspections are Error Prone

Missing key elements during an inspection could leave a company non-compliant, having hard copies of inspections doesn’t give you an easy way to compare data over time or quickly find the inspection results for a particular item or location.

The Benefits of Safety Inspection Software

Companies known that software is a much-needed solution for improving the speed and accuracy of their safety inspections. Benefits include:

Data Analytics

The ability to analyze the results of Safety inspections can benefit other areas of the business. Storing data centrally and using data analytics and dashboards gives manager the tools to make intelligent decisions to improve workplace safety.

Gather Inspection Results and Report Immediately

The ability to perform the safety inspection, recording all relevant information, gathering photographs etc and storing this data centrally gives an automated, consistent and repeatable method of performing the inspections rather than using paper based systems that are error prone with the possibility of data loss.

Audit Trails, Online Inspection History

Keeping an online history and audit trail of all inspections performed, information gathered helps companies have better tracking methods to ensure that any corrective actions generated during safety inspections are followed and resolved within the deadline. Dashboards tell managers what actions are overdue and also give managers key metrics such as corrective actions resolved on time, early and late each month across sites

Mobile Inspections

Performing safety inspections anywhere and anytime using intuitive Mobile Apps gives companies a power tool to empower employees and to streamline their inspections processes, aiding compliance, reducing risk and reducing costs.
