In today’s world, modernized environment, health and safety (EH&S) programs are now far more than just meeting compliance and checking boxes. Rather, they are the critical heartbeat of keeping an organization safe for its employees, compliant and focused on environmental loyalty. In the simplest of terms, EH&S is what organizations must do to ensure that their activities do not cause harm.

From a health & safety standpoint, EH&S involves creating standardized procedures to identify workplace hazards while reducing accidents and exposure to harmful situations and substances. In addition to tracking and housing important data that occurs at your organization, what is the best way to use it for the holistic benefit in effecting overall organizational health and improvement?

This is where technology is evolving EH&S to the next level…

  • Spreadsheets, binders, and paper forms are a thing of the past. Intelligent analysis of EH&S, Corrective Action/Risk Mitigation, Environmental Impact Reduction, Universal Corporate Perspective, and Scalability are critical elements in today’s EH&S world! A well-rounded EH&S program promotes goal setting, metrics, data detail, and corrective action in an easily accessible way, in order to progressively improve and manage EH&S day to day. No matter the type of manufacturer, size, or headcount; an EH&S program guided by a technical solution is critical. Sophistication, intelligence, and ease of use promotes a vested interest in continuous improvement of employee well-being and environmental impact.
  • Understanding what your organization does well within EH&S, where it needs improvement, how dollars are affected, and how environment is impacted by your organization is what matters in today’s manufacturing world. LyfeCycle was created specifically with the manufacturer in mind, with custom functionality that gears exactly toward what matters in managing a successful program. The ability to generate actionable data to be used for improvement and understanding is what LyfeCycle was built for. LyfeCycle creates an experience that is user-friendly, actionable, customizable and undeniably a “next level way” to manage EH&S!
  • We live in a technology guided world that enhances the way we think, live, react, and improve what is all around us. Having the ability to automate an organization’s EH&S program in a way that creates actionable data that can be utilized in multiple forms and for multiple reasons is how a manufacturer should be viewing EH&S. Doing things the same old manual way from decades past with a reactive mentality, only prevents what pivotal information could be right at the fingertips to keep employees safer, save money, set goals, improve customer reputation, and become more organizationally intelligent!

The commitment and quality to a well-nourished EH&S program affects the employees, the business itself in proving environmental responsibility and quality to its customers and community, and the longevity/sustainability of keeping an organization flourishing and successful. How a manufacturer is viewed from the outside world makes for a positive reputation with the people involved (employees/customers) and the environmental aspects it impacts such as water, greenhouse gas and environmental reduction. Ours is a solution to help guide and manage this philosophy in a way that was BUILT for the manufacturer!
