THE TRUTH ABOUT USING BEHAVIOR BASED HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE SYSTEMS

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the information available about digital risk mitigation programs, but integrating a BBS based app and software program will dramatically improve your OHS and EHS processes. Here’s how BBS management software programs can improve your business today.

It’s important for any business to have a 5-star EHS compliance system. This keeps employees safe while reducing injuries and fatalities within your business. This results in increased employee engagement and lower injury payout costs. It is also a legal requirement to keep staff safe at work.

SO HOW DOES OUR BEHAVIOR BASED SAFETY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE SYSTEM IMPROVE YOUR BUSINESS?

REDUCED WORKPLACE INJURY FREQUENCY RATE

Using a BBS health and safety digital program will reduce the occurrence of injuries in the workplace.

Save time by using a system that includes checklists, which help keep inspections and observations on track. OHS management systems also ensures that every aspect of EHS is covered every single time.

When it comes to OHS, you can’t afford to have any slip-ups.  Errors and cutting corners can cost not only resources, but people’s lives.

INCREASED EMPLOYEE JOB SATISFACTION

OHS and EHS should be an utmost priority in any business. Implementing safe work procedures will increase overall job satisfaction for employees. Staff will feel good about coming to work, which will increase productivity and output. Employee engagement levels will soar when they realize that their employers care about their safety.

Higher employee engagement = better business performance and results.

REDUCED COSTS FROM INJURY INSURANCE PAYOUTS

Implementing a BBS organizational program like Guardian will result in reduced injury payouts.
This means two things:

  • Employees spend less time out of work. This results in reduced staff turnover.
  • Less money and time is spent on micromanaging incidents

Employee welfare and protection is such an important component of every business. It should be first priority. Get it right the first time and you’ll avoid facing huge risks (and payouts!) down the track.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

Keeping employees safe at work and providing a safe work environment is a legal requirement for all businesses.

It can be a headache keeping files, information and staff training up to date. Especially on top of everything else going on in the business. But EHS needs to be the first thing you consider. Machinery can be replaced, but people can’t.
