What is an EHS management system?

EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) management systems are solutions used to streamline the implementation of corporate EHS objectives.

Investing in a cloud EHS system can result in decreased risk exposure, improved safety performance, increased efficiency, and cost savings in EHS resource use.

Cloud EHS systems allow businesses to access data from anywhere, automatically capture documents from remote sites, connect global teams to share information quickly and securely, and create custom EHS insights generated from powerful analytics capabilities. Some of the key areas an EHS system covers include hazard mitigation, compliance and regulation audits, and tracking hazardous materials.

Some of the most popular EHS systems use cases are:

  • Hazard Management
  • Incident Management
  • Checklists & Inspections
  • Audit Management
  • Contractor Management
  • Asset Management
  • Quality Management
  • Environmental Management
  • Chemical Management
  • Learning Management
