Safety in the Small Business Industry

Small Business owners face a lot of pressure in the day to day running of the business with only one or two people to manage the business operations. This usually means safety gets placed in the ‘I’ll worry about it later basket’. We can help small businesses manage their safety through our easy to use Online WHS System.

Some of our clients include:

What Online WHS focuses on in this Industry

  • To make safety easy – All an employee needs to do is scan a QR Code to complete a form, checklist or report a hazard or incident.
  • To make safety accessible – Online WHS Systems is a cloud-based system which can be used anywhere with an internet connection.
  • To make safety simple – Employees can log in to the system and know exactly what needs to be actioned by clicking one simple button, the ‘To-Do List’.
  • To make safety efficient – Online WHS Systems is an automated system. If something needs to be actioned, the relevant person is alerted via email or SMS.

“I like that staff can access the system whenever and wherever they need to. In a business that has multiple sites and provides a large percentage of its services in the community or in a Customer/Client’s own home, this provides staff with a quick and easy solution for reporting.

The Alert function then allows Team Leaders and Managers to; provide a quick response to incidents, provide staff with necessary support in a timely manner and begin to implement control measures sooner to ensure staff and Customer/Client safety.”
