e-Compliance - Health & Safety™  - ESPS Electrical Safety Program - Solution

eC - Health & Safety™ is an online Compliance Management System. The application incorporates established risk management methodologies to efficiently manage an organization's OHS program within the guidelines of a specific standard or protocol. This enables eCompliance to use the power of technology to convert any standard into a deployment and implementation tool. The eCompliance system is based on proven management principles that can be applied to any standard:

PLAN: An organization selects an appropriate industry standard with which it wants to comply. The elements of the standard form a framework of requirements around which a OHS program can be built.

DO: The organization then populates the selected standard framework with comments and reference documents to create a "living document" that gives the real-time OHS program status (single location where all current relevant OHS program information is maintained).

CHECK: In order to determine compliance with the standard and/or to do a gap analysis to identify continuous improvement opportunities the standard framework is linked to an audit tool. The outcome of an audit or gap analysis is a list of recommendations (areas for continuous improvement) that are then tied back to the "living document" (content in the framework).

ACT: Based on the audit or gap analysis recommendations the organization then needs to take corrective action to improve program performance and update the "living document". All corrective actions are also logged to provide an audit trail and to record documented proof of due diligence.

IMPROVE: Drive continuous improvement by repeating this process.

eC - Health & Safety™ is a technology driven tool and must be deployed as part of planned OHS strategy and in combination with the support of management, employees and processes to achieve enterprise wide OHS compliance management

e-Compliace - Health & Safety™  - ESPS Electrical Safety Program - Benefits

eC - Health & Safety™ provides a number of benefits to its users. Similar to other management solutions the benefits are non-tangible and often have to translate into resulting productivity improvement or reduced exposure to risk to be fully appreciated. Some of the benefits that our customers have realized and that the application provides are:

• Compliance: eC - Health & Safety™ provides step-by-step implementation of often complex health and safety legislation and policies. This framework extends across your entire organization to enforce standards, simplify management and reduce the risk of non-compliance.
• Risk: Mitigates risk through documentation of due diligence and consequently reduces exposure to penalties under OHS Regulations and Federal Law (specifically Bill C-45).
• News: Weekly updates ensure that you and your company remain current of the constantly changing federal and provincial regulations, codes and policies that affect your specific industry.
• Accessibility: eC - Health & Safety™ acts as a single repository for all of your corporate health and safety information. This is the single location where all current OHS information is managed and it is accessible from anywhere. Large organizations can manage the program for specific sites separately, while maintaining access to the OHS programs of multiple sites through a single interface.
• Business Continuity: The management of your Health and Safety Program in a central, visible location ensures the continuity of your Health and Safety program in the event of disruptive events (such as the attrition of key employees).
• Cost Reduction: In addition to the financial benefit of being compliant, eC - Health & Safety™ also eliminates any overhead costs that are typically associated with the in-house hosting and maintenance of electronic compliance management solutions.
• Increased Revenue: Improve and assist in tendering for more business. Increasingly the labour industry in Alberta demands subcontractors to have a valid COR before they can bid for contracts.
