Finally, an EHS Software Platform that is:

The SBN Safety and Risk Management software platform is a comprehensive system that is phone, tablet, QR code, and Computer enabled such that your workforce, including contractors, can seamlessly collaborate across work environments and jobsites on critical operations such as: Inspections, Corrective Action Tracking, Permits (Safe Work, Confined Space, and Hot Work), Procedures (Lockout Tagout (LOTO), Hazardous Material Handling, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)), Incident Reporting, Safety Observations, Safety Meetings and Toolbox Talks, Certification Tracking, and Inventory tracking and maintenance (Vehicles, Equipment, and Chemical Inventory).

Streamlining Inspections with Customizable Tools

Inspections are a critical element of any safety management system, ensuring that workplaces meet safety regulations and that potential hazards are identified before they cause harm. Yet, traditional inspection methods often involve cumbersome paperwork, manual data entry, and a lack of real-time information sharing. The SBN suite of tools revolutionizes this process by offering customizable checklists and proactive issue tracking, empowering safety professionals to perform inspections efficiently and comprehensively right in the field.

The flexibility of SBN’s EHS management systems means that teams can create custom inspection forms tailored to their unique operational requirements. Whether your business operates in a hazardous construction environment or in the controlled atmosphere of a laboratory, the ability to build inspection forms from scratch or leverage pre-existing templates ensures that you’re capturing the data that matters most. With SBN, you can capture data on the go, working online or offline, allowing for seamless synchronization once a connection is available.

Incorporating geo-coordinates, bar codes, photos, digital signatures and audit trails, inspections become more thorough and verifiable, leaving no room for ambiguity. Real-time issue tracking means problems are addressed before they escalate, keeping the workplace safe and compliant at all times.

Advanced Asset Tracking: Know What You Own and Where It Is

In any industry, keeping track of assets is crucial for both operational efficiency and safety compliance. Misplaced equipment, uncalibrated tools, or unaccounted-for inventory can cause significant disruptions, not to mention potential safety risks. That’s why Simple But Needed offers a powerful asset tracking system to ensure that every piece of equipment, from heavy machinery to small tools, is accounted for, documented, and available when needed.

Chemical Asset Inventory Tracking: Simplify your chemical inventory tracking with Asset+, our comprehensive chemical asset management software. Designed to streamline the entire process, our solution allows you to easily track and reconcile your chemical assets, whether you’re in a lab or working in the field. Asset+ supports iOS and Android, enabling offline functionality so that even with intermittent WIFI, your workflow remains uninterrupted.

Customization is key — our Asset+ software can be tailored to capture the exact data your organization requires. With seamless integration to Safety Data Sheets (SDS), you’ll have critical information linked to each asset without the hassle of manual entry. Barcode scanning speeds up reconciliation, letting you update entire rooms of inventory within minutes. Asset+ ensures that chemical asset management becomes a simple, daily process, improving safety, compliance, and overall efficiency in your organization.

SBN’s risk management app incorporates advanced scanning and reconciliation features that make documenting assets easier than ever. By scanning barcodes or using RFID technology, teams can reconcile inventory records on the spot, reducing human error and improving the accuracy of asset tracking. In industries where compliance depends on knowing the exact status of tools or machinery—such as the oil and gas sector or public utilities—this level of detail ensures that nothing falls through the cracks.

Additionally, having a comprehensive asset tracking system means you can streamline maintenance schedules, track the lifecycle of equipment, and proactively manage any repair or replacement needs before they become a problem. With SBN’s risk management system software, asset tracking is no longer a manual, error-prone task but a seamless and integral part of your safety and compliance operations.

Ergonomics: Fostering a Healthier, Safer Workplace

Workplace safety extends beyond just physical hazards—ensuring ergonomic well-being is critical to fostering a healthier environment. Injuries caused by poor ergonomics can lead to chronic pain, long-term disability, and significant productivity loss. SBN’s ergonomics evaluation tools help organizations promote a safer and more comfortable working environment for employees.

SBN’s safety management tools are designed to conduct comprehensive ergonomic assessments for any workplace, whether it involves desk work, manual labor, or a combination of both. These evaluations provide actionable insights into how workplace setups can be adjusted to minimize strain and prevent injury. For industries like manufacturing or healthcare, where employees are regularly lifting heavy objects or working in physically demanding roles, ensuring proper ergonomics is critical for long-term health and safety.

With the help of EHS management software, businesses can not only identify potential ergonomic risks but also track improvements over time, making continuous adjustments as necessary. This proactive approach to ergonomics reduces the likelihood of workplace injuries, boosts employee morale, and leads to better overall productivity.

Simplifying Lockout/Tagout Procedures

In high-risk industries, ensuring machinery is properly shut down during maintenance is essential for preventing accidents. Improper lockout/tagout procedures are one of the leading causes of workplace injuries, often resulting from human error or incomplete documentation. SBN addresses this critical safety concern with streamlined lockout/tagout documentation tools, improving both safety compliance and operational efficiency.

Lockout/tagout processes can often become complicated when dealing with various machines, different employees, and complex procedures. SBN’s safety management software simplifies this by providing step-by-step guides and procedure templates that can be tailored to fit your exact needs. Clear documentation ensures that workers know exactly which steps to take to properly shut down equipment, eliminating guesswork and significantly reducing risk.

Furthermore, the ability to assign responsibilities and track compliance through the risk management system means that nothing is left to chance. Every action is logged, and all relevant stakeholders are kept in the loop, ensuring proper communication and execution at every stage of the lockout/tagout process.

Supercharge Your Compliance Efforts

Managing compliance can be a daunting task, especially for organizations juggling multiple regulatory requirements, employee safety protocols, and operational challenges. SBN simplifies the entire compliance management process, enabling organizations to save time, reduce risk, and achieve operational excellence.

One of the standout features of SBN’s EHS software solutions is its customizable reporting tools. These allow safety managers to generate detailed reports quickly and easily, providing visibility into compliance efforts across the organization. Whether you’re generating CSV reports to analyze raw data or producing PDF reports for internal use or submission to regulators, the process is as simple as a click of a button.

Beyond reports, dashboards play a vital role in enabling teams to visualize key metrics in real time. Customizable dashboards allow you to track performance indicators that matter most to your business, from incident rates to equipment downtime. The ability to share these dashboards across teams ensures that everyone is on the same page, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

With SBN’s risk management applications, compliance is more than just a box to check. It’s a dynamic, ongoing process that evolves alongside your organization’s operational needs.
