How Can Safety Audit Software Help You?

How do you know if your risk assessment in the workplace complies with OHS legislation Australia? Risk assessment in construction is not an exact science and mistakes can be made. As a manager or business owner, it’s your legal responsibility to ensure your workforce is safe and compliant, or else you risk the regulator’s wrath.

The traditional method involves streams of paperwork that is both a hassle to fill out, file and find if regulators ever submit a compliance request. There are safe work method statements (SWMS), risk assessment matrices not to mention the risk assessment process itself. A compliant risk assessment workflow involves all of these different bureaucratic functions but it doesn’t have to stunt your productivity. In fact with the help of construction risk assessment software, your productivity should improve.

We’ve developed a digital alternative to the paper-based method that saves time and money. Called SafeWorkPro, it’s simple risk assessment software designed in consultation with construction workers and managers. One of its many features is as safety audit software – a function that stores risk assessments, SWMS and other related documents as a PDF. Should any regulator request risk assessment documents, you can access them in one computer file and email it instantly. It cuts out administrative overhead and gives you more time for other jobs.

A lot of mistrust gets thrown at risk software because the paper-based method, although seriously flawed, has been around for years. But to improve productivity while remaining compliant, you’ll need to move into the digital world with SafeWorkPro.
