A system enabling the digital submission of potential hazard notifications is vital for workplace safety. This digital mechanism allows employees to easily document incidents that, while not resulting in injury or damage, possessed the potential to do so. For example, an employee tripping over an unmarked cable but avoiding a fall could use such a system to report the hazard.
The importance of these systems lies in their proactive approach to risk management. By capturing information about incidents before they result in negative consequences, organizations can identify patterns, implement preventative measures, and improve overall safety protocols. Historically, such reports were paper-based and often suffered from underreporting due to cumbersome processes. Modern digital solutions streamline reporting and encourage greater participation.
