Safety reporting isn’t about throwing a few suggestions into the box next to the coffee machine… An active safety reporting system, i.e. one that is used, followed up and closed out will help provide valuable information that can help organisations improve safety, reduce risk, and create a safer and more efficient work environment. Specifically, a good system will:
Reduce the risk of future accidents and incidents.
Increase awareness of hazards helping identify areas of improvement.
Improve risk management by collecting data on incidents and near misses helps to assess risk, prioritise safety improvements, and implement effective risk management strategies.
Enhance learning opportunities by analysing and learning from incidents and near misses, allowing identification of systemic issues thus enabling changes to prevent future incidents.
Improve compliance to meet regulatory requirements, achieve client expectations and demonstrate a commitment to safety and quality.
Improve company culture and continuous improvement, where employees feel empowered to speak up about potential hazards.
All this can be achieved by a simple digital QHSE and Risk Management tool. Say no more…
