Why your safety data is cumbersome: Run the numbers.

Part of any successful safety program involves a wide array of data collection efforts. This means your audits, near misses, observations, incident reports, hazard submissions, daily reports, and any number of response-based methodologies you're engaging your workforce with. Every day there is an influx of new information across each location and department of your operations.

Just how much data are you typically collecting? Let's look at the numbers in an example.

100 observations per week
x 14 criteria per observation
x 4 weeks
= 5600 observation responses a month
 
4 audit templates
x 20 questions per audit
x 10 auditors or supervisors
x 4 weeks
= 3200 audit responses a month
 

In safety inspections, audits, and employee observations alone, you're already totaling 8,000+ data points every single month. We haven't even mentioned incidents, near miss reports, hazard submissions, and the other proactive safety processes you have in place!

You have to stop and ask yourself - what are we doing with this data? Are we actually reducing future risk of injury?

Use your data to produce better EHS outcomes

Probably the most important aspect of any safety management platform is your ability as an EHS manager to make useful decisions at a glance. Without any actual effort you should be able to find new insights that you can take with you for the next time you're on the shop floor. Trend data, dangerous pattern behavior, and focus areas should pop out at you without having to spend hours manipulating data in a spreadsheet. When leadership is asking you for answers, you have them right in the palm of your hand.

This is one reason why safety-focused companies trust Safety Amp to do exactly that.
