iFACTS on - HSE, Health Safety Environment

The Management system Health-Safety-Environment (HSE) was one of the first Management systems implemented, mainly in the industry section. Many of the requirements are mandatory to comply with, if not the business might be closed down.

Typical HSE activities:

• Incident reporting of accidents and injuries.
• Environmental reporting - emission control, greenhouse gas reporting. environmental debt.
• Safety inspections to ensure a safe work environment.
• Education and training.
• Clarify roles and responsbilities.
• Reporting to authorities.

During the last 20 years a series of new Management systems have been introduced (Information Security, Environment, Risk Management, Corporate Social Responsibility). Unfortunately these have not been introduced with integration in mind. Today many organizations have several Management systems acting in silos rather than working together, even though these Management systems have a lot in common, just covering different areas:

• Policy and guidelines
• Business process documentation
• Roles and responsibilities
• Measurements
• Incident reporting
• Continuous improvements
• Audit

iFACTS is organized in different modules that together support the requirements from a HSE System. For example:

• The GAP module to build web questionnaires/checklists and web distribute in the organisation.
• The Measurement module to create measurement sessions such as Greenhouse gas reporting.
• The Event module for incident reporting and handling.
• The ONTRACK dashboard for monitoring and reporting.

For management it is critical to get an understanding of all organizational events. There might be a connection between HSE-events and for example property incidents (fire), fraud, IT-incidents or a political decision (emission license).

The iFACTS concept and software combines all the different Management systems, breaking the silos and integrating all business activities. The reward is business continuity within a keystroke.
