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.
