Risk Management

DataPipe EHS software has a Risk Management component that helps customers identify and mitigate risk. the software is broken up into two areas. Data input and reporting. The data input forms allow users to enter incidents, injuries, near misses plus various health and environmental issues that occur on site. Over time, data from these various incidents and events can be analyzed in the DataPipe reporting system. Risk management really becomes the analysis of this data in order to find trends that can lead to safety concerns. The idea is to look for trends - peeks or troughs in the graphs, spikes in the numbers, unusual occurrences over large spans of time and attempt to correlate safety issues and expenditures with facility practices. Realization through data analysis is the key. learning that a specific action can lead to a costly safety issue is the most important step in the mitigation and. The DataPipe reporting tools allow you to manipulate your data in ways you would have never been able to before, thus uncovering these potential hazards. Making changes to your practices based the data uncovered is the final step in removing or lessening risk on site. Risk management software like DataPipe can save money, lives and improve public relations for any organization.
