1. It makes reporting quick and easy

The easiest way to encourage staff to engage with workplace safety is to make simple, easy-to-use systems and tools available to all. A busy worker might be unwilling to find and fill out a paper incident book in a hard-to-find office drawer – but digital solutions, such as user-friendly mobile apps, will encourage on-the-spot instant reporting.

2. It helps employees to actively engage with safety

Getting employees engaged in safety is fundamental to a good safety culture. Involving the entire workforce in safety activities empowers individuals and helps to position safety as a value – and not just a ‘box-ticking exercise’ imposed from on high.

3. It’s in tune with how staff complete many other tasks

Given that most people now use apps to check their bank balance, order food or book travel, why is safety still so reliant on traditional tools such as paper or spreadsheet forms? Web-based platforms and mobile apps enable people to engage with safety in a way that resonates with them and aligns with the way they manage their lives outside of work.

4. It enables safety to be part of your everyday, anytime, anywhere work

Technology enables staff to engage with safety as it happens, in real time – improving reporting rates. The ability to access a system at any time, whether on or offline, means that your workforce can submit observations or report incidents no matter where they are, easily capturing data in a single location.

7 Effective Ways to Develop Your Negotiation Skills

1. Practise Saying ‘No’ Human beings are programmed to be non-confrontational. From a young age, we’re taught to follow orders or else get punished, and as adults, we’re taught the same thing. Time and again, we’re told to ‘let it go’ and ‘just go with the flow’ so we don’t upset the client or the boss. This lifelong habit of avoiding confrontation and just saying ‘yes’ weakens your negotiation skills. But not to worry; you can still reprogramme your mind by practising saying ‘no’. You can start with something small like going home on time or refusing to work extra hours, especially if you’re already raking in too much overtime. If that seems like a big step for you, then you can start by saying ‘no’ to that annoying colleague who loves sabotaging your healthy eating habits by tempting you with a piece of chocolate cake. These might seem like small steps, but taking the opportunity to say ‘no’ to minor instances will help you say ‘no’ to bigger things – whether it’s
