Automation of Safety Management and OSHA Compliance

[Shalini]

Creating a safe workplace for your workforce, as mandated by the United States Department of Labor through Occupational Safety and Health Administration in 1970, can help prevent work-related injury and death, especially in high-risk industries.

While most businesses have some form of safety management system, many times it is manual or digitization is very basic. This may be fine in very small setups, but as the organization grows, and in larger organizations, this may be severely inadequate.

Safety management is about being proactive in the prevention of incidents. To be able to predict events and accidents at all times is humanly impossible. Automation can enable this to a large extent through a focused approach to improving safety outcomes and promoting organizational and operational excellence. An automated safety management system is also an FDA requirement since 2018. It empowers businesses with better risk assessment capabilities and helps schedule periodic audits while improving the company’s safety and quality processes. Simply put, automating OSHA compliance guidelines ensures
