SafetyIQ Launches Advanced EHS Management Software to Combat Escalating Workplace Safety Challenges

Published - September 16, 2024

A worker dies every 96 minutes in the United States, according to the National Safety Council (NSC). SafetyIQ, a leader in workforce safety solutions, is proud to announce the launch of its advanced EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) Management Software. This groundbreaking solution is designed to help organizations proactively address workplace hazards, reduce serious injuries, and ultimately save lives.

With workplace incidents costing U.S. employers nearly $1 billion every week, businesses are facing increasing pressure to prioritize safety and reduce the financial and human toll of accidents. SafetyIQ’s EHS Management Software arrives at a critical moment, offering organizations a comprehensive tool to tackle safety risks before they become incidents.

Addressing the Workplace Safety Crisis with Cutting-Edge Technology

A recent report by the National Safety Council emphasized the importance of adopting new technologies to mitigate the most severe workplace incidents. Lorraine Martin, CEO of the NSC, underscored this shift, stating, “Safety changes not only with cultural norms but with new technology. What we thought was safe before today we’d never do. It’s about leveraging the right tools to ensure that employees go home safely every night.”​

SafetyIQ’s EHS Management Software is designed with these challenges in mind, offering safety teams the tools they need to prevent incidents, respond faster to hazards, and improve overall safety outcomes across industries.

Key Features of SafetyIQ’s EHS Management Suite

• Centralized Reporting: The software provides real-time reporting of audits, inspections, and incidents, ensuring that all safety data is instantly accessible in one central hub. This allows safety teams to quickly analyze trends and act on critical insights.
• Connect to Actions: SafetyIQ’s software automatically alerts the appropriate personnel when issues are reported and tracks corrective actions through to completion. This ensures that safety measures are implemented effectively, minimizing the chance of recurrence.
• Proactive Risk Mitigation: The EHS software empowers safety teams to identify and address hazards before they lead to incidents, ensuring that preventive measures are taken and safety is improved across the board.

“SafetyIQ’s EHS Management Software is designed to transform safety practices by shifting the focus from reactive to proactive,” said Scott Jackson, CEO of SafetyIQ. “Our software equips safety teams with real-time data and tools that help create safer, more resilient work environments for everyone.”​

Palfinger, a global leader in lifting solutions, partnered with SafetyIQ to enhance its safety strategy by implementing the EHS Management Software. Through centralized data reporting and proactive safety measures, Palfinger successfully reduced safety incidents and improved compliance across its operations.

In just two years, Palfinger saw dramatic improvements, with direct Workers’ Compensation costs reduced by nearly $1 million. "There is plenty of evidence of what a good safety management system can do to benefit a company," said Kelli Macdonald-Risner, Regional HSE Manager at Palfinger​

A Shared Commitment to Zero Harm

The National Safety Council has long advocated for the integration of emerging technologies to create safer workplaces. SafetyIQ’s latest software innovation is a step toward the NSC’s goal of eliminating workplace fatalities and injuries. By incorporating real-time data insights and analytics, SafetyIQ’s EHS Management Software enables organizations to anticipate and prevent incidents, rather than simply reacting to them.

“Our goal is zero harm,” said Lorraine Martin, CEO of NSC. “With solutions like SafetyIQ’s EHS Management Software, we are moving closer to that goal by making safety a proactive process, saving lives before incidents happen.”​
