Working to reduce the risks of accidents, liability and fines

PAL Software has enhanced its Safety PAL cloud-based system, adding three new features to make the health and safety system easier to use and to provide evidence that can be shown to investigators in the event of an accident or incident.

Safety PAL’s new features include an improved help guide and user task tracking, which enhances project and team management. Step-by-step instructions that make the system easier for companies and their suppliers to interface have also been added.

An audit reporting feature is another new addition. This allows companies to complete workplace audits, near-miss and positive intervention reporting and good working practices reports, proving that they did everything practicable to control risks and prevent an accident. This helps protect companies from liability and from incurring hefty fines and costs.

Managing Director Karl Spencer commented: “The new audit reporting feature was developed in response to customer feedback. We focus on prevention, but many customers wanted us to create an easy-to-use, effective reporting tool. This new feature is now an integral part of Safety PAL, offering companies a better way to prevent accidents and increase protection against liability and fines.”

Safety PAL enables companies to employ a holistic approach to health and safety, engaging and involving everyone, from directors to workers. The system can be accessed by all employees and linked with suppliers through smartphones and other internet-connected devices.

Managers can consult and upload risk assessments, policies and other documents when they are out of the office and workers can receive up-to-date, filtered safety alerts while they are working on-site. Managers can record and upload on-site training videos and workers can watch the videos before arriving at the work site. This not only helps reduces stress and helps prevent accidents, but allows work to start immediately, increasing productivity and reducing company costs.
