Safety management software can help your municipality in managing your Ontario Health Service program real-time across diverse work areas such as fire department, waste management, sewage collection and disposal, parks and recreation, roads and storm water drainage, and community centers. It can make a crucial difference to your staff, volunteers, supervisors, and managers in saving time and money, and improving productivity. That said, as an employer, your municipality needs to understand what your safety management system must be able to do to be effective.
Six reasons to have a safety management system:
- MANAGE your OHS documents in real-time
- INTEGRATE your hazard assessments
- INSPECT your sites online
- TRAIN your staff online and save time
- TRACK continuous improvement
- MONITOR your OHS stats live
