ISO 45001 HAS brought a simplified approach to safety management so we thought we’d do the same with RiskMach.
RiskMach is a one stop shop for the safety management of your business with a focus on compliance activities such as inspection and workplace risk assessment.
Why does RiskMach work?
Variation in your safety management outcomes can occur due to failure to implement your planned measures, human factors, varying perspectives and competences and more. These will have a propagating effect on the outcome resulting in total failure at some point if undetected. Think of it like NDT (non-destructive testing) where you are looking for the signs of failure before it fails. This is where compliance activities become a useful tool to keep you on the right path. In a perfect world compliance activities would not be needed, let me know when you think you’ve found that perfect world!
Good compliance creates good information that informs decision makers and permits good decision making on the basis of risk i.e. safety risk management. The opposite is also true. Compliance activities producing poor and inaccessible information permits poor decision making by leaders or in some cases compliance led paralysis where a decision maker receives contradictory information from which no rational decision can be made.
RiskMach is compliance software that will help ‘take the sting out of’ compliance activities. The world of safety management is changing as you and your competitors find efficiencies in technology. There are choices now available that you couldn’t have dreamed of only 5 years ago and at a total cost lower than you might think with some features being free!
RiskMach (by idioms)
With RiskMach you won’t ‘Add injury to insult’ as compliance activities become more doable and the same effort achieves more change in your workplace safety due to less effort needed in the compliance activity itself. This way you won’t have workers or contractors ‘pushing up daisies’.
Multi-Site
Unlimited Scalability
Contractors and consultants can contribute directly to your compliance activities.
Technical and Behavioural Compliance
Technical compliance defines and manages ‘things’getting to the source of harm and ensuring proper technical measures are in place to address it. Behavioural compliance defines and manages ‘people’. Some law in the UK, such as PUWER, puts a duty to apply one before the other with the emphasis being on technical compliance. Often to focus on behavioural safety before technical compliance is ‘barking up the wrong tree’ but ‘it takes two to tango’ in safety and so we must engage the worker as well ensure a safe working environment.
RiskMach is ‘the best of both worlds’ as it gives you a detailed comprehensive safety management system that covers both technical compliance and behavioural compliance using simple repeatable methods that can be trained out to your workers.
You may think ‘leave well alone’ but ‘don’t judge your safety management system by its cover’ just because incidents occur ‘once in a blue moon’ and you have a nice spreadsheet that says so doesn’t mean ‘everything is rosey’. If your employees, workers and contractors are not all engaged with it and contributing back then the ‘shine will soon wear off’.
‘You are where you are so ‘don’t cry over spilt milk’ and ‘bite the bullet’ moving in to a modern safety management system with RiskMach. You can drag and drop compliance records such as inspections and risk assessments in to RiskMach so that you ‘don’t throw the baby out with the bath water’ during the transition to the modern safety management system.
