Occupational health and safety (OHS) software is used to monitor the health and safety of employees and manage work-related incidents that may have put employees at risk. Companies use this type of software to define rules and best practices that all employees must follow to avoid accidents. OHS software also helps companies comply with industry standards and regulations related to health and safety. This type of software is used by HR managers, health and safety managers, and by all employees involved in potentially harmful work.
OHS software can be delivered as a standalone solution or as part of an environmental health and safety software product. Furthermore, this type of software requires integration with HR management suites and workforce management software.
