Why Use a Health & Safety Software System?
Why Use a Health & Safety Software System?
Health and Safety management is a paper intensive and arduous task. It is an essential element within all industries for a safe and secure workforce but it is something that can consume time within an organisation and take your staff away from core business activities. Traditionally expensive software management systems have been restricted to major corporations and multi-nationals. By using our online management system it can revolutionise how you approach health and safety management within your organisation. The responsibilities that fall upon your safety professionals consist of Risk Assessments, Employee Training, Incident Reporting & Investigation and much more. With time and resources being crucial to the effective management of any organisation, our online system allows health & safety professionals a simple and systematic approach to ensure your organisation's safety and success.
Why Manage your Health & Safety
Regardless of the size of the undertaking, it is important that directors and managers are fully informed of the relevant safety and health matters and requirements that apply to them. They must understand their role in governing safety and health, which is part of their responsibilities for good corporate governance in running a business. Our aim is to help directors and officers to meet their legal responsibilities as employers. The benefit of best practice in the management of health and safety is that it meets the key responsibilities which are universally defined as being a Moral Responsibility, a Legal Responsibility and an Economic Responsibility.
EMS & Associates offer a range of Consultancy Services in support of the health+safety™ system.
Non Compliance
Section 80 of the Safety Health & Welfare at Work Act 2005 allows for the prosecution of Directors and Managers for failing to manage safety and health in their companies or organisations. A person convicted of a serious breach of safety and health law can be fined up to €3m and/or face going to prison for up to two years.
In 2010 it was announced that a law on Corporate Manslaughter will be introduced in 2011 increasing the risk of being sent to prison where a person has been found negligent.Read more in our News Section.
Your Safety Statement
The management of Health & Safety in your workplace is facilitated through your Safety Statement. Our on line health+safety™ allows you to store all relevant OHS policies and procedures on line for ease of access. EMS & Associates will work with you to devise the various policies and procedures that are required as part of your Safety Statement.
The format of the Safety Statement will be on line using PDF Documents which can be amended with ease. All system information retained on line is in compliance with recommendations issued by the Data Protection Commission.
