Helping boost safety
December 1st 2007

Following a successful launch with Pettifer Construction, Knowledge Online's E-Safe 100 bespoke reporting and auditing software, is expected to become a powerful tool in an industry which urgently needs to address health and safety issues.

The software is loaded onto a handheld PDA and taken with the health and safety manager for his/her health, safety and environmental inspection.

Findings are entered directly into the device. E-Safe 100 records the information and creates a database of reports which can be emailed to the relevant people.

If the report is not carried out, it sends an alert up the chain. The system is designed to flag and resolve issues, preventing accidents.

The software has improved Pettifer Construction's safety record over the past 12- months. Geoff Heppell, pcm safety's MD, comments "ESafe 100 is a great advancement for the construction industry. For the first time, we have a system that provides accountability and transparency."
