Improving Safety Management with ebase

ebase Client Success Story

Maintaining a safe and compliant workplace is crucial for all organizations, especially in the educational sector, where the safety of staff and students is a top priority. Many organizations face challenges maintaining compliance, addressing hazards and ensuring safety standards are met promptly. This case study highlights how ebase health and safety modules, Hazardous Substances, Form Logic, Facility Inspections and Safe Workplace have transformed safety protocols for our clients.

Before ebase: A System Struggling to Keep up

Before transitioning to ebase, many organizations relied on fragmented systems that hindered their health and safety practices. Clients used manual processes, creating inefficiencies and delays in addressing safety concerns. Paper-based systems made it difficult to retrieve, share and analyze critical data. This disorganization caused compliance failures, ultimately prompting the decision to find a reliable health and safety system.  

A Safety Officer shared that document retrieval and storage were a major challenge at their organization, having information across multiple platforms making it impossible to navigate and causing many delays. Similarly, an Occupational Health and Safety Coordinator explained that tracking the completion of inspection items or assigning proper actions for identified hazards was becoming unmanageable leaving the coordinator feeling unprepared and unorganized.

The ebase Impact

After transitioning to ebase, our clients experienced a transformation in their safety management practices, with each module providing targeted solutions to specific challenges.

Form Logic

Clients found that the Form Logic module significantly enhanced their safety management practices. It not only simplifies the reporting process and enables cohesive data analysis, making it easier for teams to draw insights and make informed decisions. By centralizing reports, organizations can save time and reduce the complexity associated with managing multiple reporting tools. It effectively addresses key concerns related to record-keeping and compliance by ensuring prompt responses to incidents that require immediate attention, thereby preventing further incidents and adhering to legislative and board-specific safety requirements. A Health & Safety Coordinator testified to the system’s effectiveness, stating, “I have used other incident reporting systems and HS software in the past. ebase is by far my favourite due to its flexibility and ability for customization. I have also had a great experience with the support team, always very responsive and resourceful to find a solution for us.” Form Logic enhances safety management systems with a versatile and adaptive platform tailored to various organizational needs. 

Safe Workplace

The Safe Workplace module has made a significant impact on workplace safety and compliance. Many have also used it to set up onboarding courses and integrate third-party content, creating tailored safety programs. Organizations value how it tracks certificates, keeps training up to date and notify administrators when certificates are expiring. A Safety Officer shared that the ability to designate mandatory training for specific user groups has helped their organization stay organized and ensure all staff meet their requirements. With everything centralized in one place, it’s easier to stay organized and focus on what truly matters, keeping your workplace safe and running smoothly.

Facility Inspections

The Facility Inspections module plays another critical role in maintaining safety compliance. It allows organizations to set up customized inspection schedules that include detailed safety infraction lists and corrective actions, ensuring safety standards are met. Automated reminders help keep inspections on track, and centralized access makes it easy for staff to review reports on outstanding items or delays. By quickly identifying potential hazards, like risks from water infiltration, issues are quickly addressed supporting compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). Lena Latreille, Manager of Health & Safety at GEDSB, values how the module simplifies record-keeping and report sharing, particularly for fire safety and work order tracking. In one instance, the facility generated a work order directly from an inspection, resolving a safety issue immediately.  

Hazardous Substances

Clients have highlighted the impact of the Hazardous Substances Module in enhancing compliance with safety regulations. Feedback emphasizes how centralizing documentation for designated substances, including annual inspections and abatement records have streamlined their processes. By providing a single platform for tracking and documenting hazardous substances, the module supports safer operations and more efficient oversight. This centralized approach ensures organizations can maintain regulatory compliance while enhancing overall safety management.
