What is Health and Safety Database?

A good Health and safety database is a software based system that enables you to link information such as personnel records, training records, risk assessments, accidents and near misses events, maintenance records and inspections and audits together in a meaningful and manageable way.

A health and safety database on its own will not provide you with all the tools needed to mange health and safety at work however. A health and safety database is like the skeleton of a body – it provides the basic structure of your management system. The skeleton needs to be ‘fleshed out’ with the muscles and tissues that come from senior management commitment, clearly defined management  responsibilities and the knowledge, training and involvement of individuals within the organisation.

Risk Master’s health and safety database is only the starting point for all the surrounding tools, framework and health and safety process management that our system brings to the party.

Our health and safety management software has been designed to work in multi national companies and organisations as well a single sited business. The costs of the Risk Master health and safety software is based upon the number of employees and the number of sites that it is to be used and cover.
