Safety Champion

As a safety consultancy, I wanted to establish a best-practice solution to support and drive our internal health and safety program. In our role as a consultancy, we have had exposure to a number of safety systems. Most often, the safety systems we have been exposed to required a stakeholder to manage the implementation of the software solution, and/or spend significant time using the solution to understand where things are and how the software works. Safety Champion, is different - it has been developed with the observations we made in mind. It is easy to set up and allows all of our consultants with ready access to our safety program. Since we implemented Safety Champion, both incident and hazard reporting has increased. Workers advise that it is due to them being able to enter this information directly into the app, without having to look for "the form" that they previously used and then "sending the form on".

Safety Champion is worth a close look if you are looking for a solution that is simple to use. I have enjoyed the transition across to Safety Champion from paper, as it has been a very visible way for Action OHS Consulting to demonstrate to our workers, sub-contractors and suppliers that we have adopted a best practice approach with our safety management. If these people are confident that we are serious about safety, then our workplace will be a safer environment for our workers, or those involved with our workplace.

Excellent customer service provided. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] are exceptional professionals and provided an outstanding service.

The software has some opportunities for improvement.

The reporting module cannot be tailored to our needs and end up with charts that are not as relevant for a report to upper management for example.

Inspections using the App are really good and allow a quick paperless inspection report with possibility to add photos. This was a game changer for us.

The Dashboard shows all chemicals and certificates even that they are not close to expire. These could be on their own modules.

On Report module, the pizza type charts only show the value if you hover the mouse over the chart. It does not show the value when printed (pdf).

The inspection templates are always associated to a grade system. There should be an option not to use grades.

The incident investigation report shows Safety Champion logo instead of Harvest's when printed (pdf).

We were looking for a web solution that would allow our tradesmen and women to access safety documents such as SWMSs and Operating Procedures when working at client sites. In addition, we wanted a system to ensure that there was a simple way workers could report incidents and hazards, to allow these to be tracked by management.

When looking at web software, Safety Champion had the modules that we required and was identified by our team as the simplest solution to navigate.
