"Here are a few practical observations about tracking data with safety software. First, safety inspections and audits don't scare me anymore. In fact, I think they are a bit intimidated when I can print off a list of anything safety related instantly. Data is hard to argue with.
The biggest advantage of this software is to have everything organized and at your fingertips, even hard to track data like PPE issued, job skills, site statistics and inspections. The fact that the system automatically alerts you to virtually anything expiring in the database saves me a great amount of time.
I admit it takes time to input the data into Simply Safety!, but once it's in you start getting advantages coming back to you. Management likes being kept on top of operational incidents with auto notification emails and graphs and the fact if we ever have to go to court we stand a much better chance of defending ourselves with a well documented due diligence trail."

"Every year HR takes on more jobs and I have to juggle tasks. Tracking safety and training is one of them. Simply Safety! is easy to learn compared to many other applications and saves me time.
It has become the central point for all the OHSE information I track. Prior to Simply Safety! this I used several different programs. Being on a network allows other managers to securely login and input or simply view safety tracking and training information. With increasing legal risk under Bill C-45 in Canada and Sarbanes Oxley in the USA, due diligence and record keeping has taken on a much higher management priority.
Keeping accurate records on a worker's previous injury claim allowed us to have a questionable claim refused, keeping our costs down. Overall, I'd say the Simply Safety! tracking software progream saves me time by making me more efficient and prevents worry about liabilities."
