How Data Integration Can Help Close EHS Gaps and Reduce Risk

The Hidden Risk: Disconnected Data

Let’s face it. Admin time sucks. It sucks your time, energy, and focus away from keeping your workplace safe. If you’re still managing your EHS data with spreadsheets, paper-based reports, and a handful of disconnected software tools, you’re not alone. In fact, many organisations still struggle with fragmented systems that leave their EHS programs vulnerable. According to the Global EHS Readiness Report (GERI), disconnected data is one of the biggest barriers to EHS maturity and effective risk reduction.

When systems don’t ‘talk’ to each other, it’s almost impossible to get a clear, comprehensive view of your EHS activities. And when you can’t see the full picture, you’re at risk of missing critical insights—whether that’s in tracking safety incidents, monitoring compliance, or analysing trends in employee engagement.

Why Data Integration Matters

Data integration is essential for ensuring your EHS program runs efficiently and effectively. Instead of dealing with fragmented information spread across multiple systems, data integration allows you to pull everything into one central location. This allows you to access, analyse, and act on your EHS data in real time.

The benefits are clear. When your data is connected, you can make informed decisions faster, respond to incidents more effectively, and ensure that your compliance and safety efforts are aligned. For example, if your safety audits are automatically linked to your incident tracking system, you can immediately take corrective action when a risk is identified.

The GERI Report Illustrates the Dangers of Disconnected Systems

According to the GERI report, 47% of EHS leaders point to disconnected solutions as their primary challenge. This lack of integration leads to a range of issues, including poor visibility, inefficiencies, and an increased risk of incidents. It also means that EHS leaders have to rely on outdated, incomplete data to make critical decisions, which can have serious consequences.

The report also found that 68% of EHS leaders lack confidence in the quality or quantity of data being captured. Without real-time, integrated data, it’s nearly impossible to get accurate insights into your program’s performance and take proactive steps to mitigate risks.
