OHS Software
OHS software (some say OH&S software or
Occupational
health and safety software)
is a
data management solution designed to prevent disease,
illness and injury caused by workplace
influences. OHS software keeps track
of all health and safety related data and provides the
means to run analysis and trending reports in order to
manage the health and clinical data of your employees and
to locate risk that can ultimately mitigate injury, and
loss of life.
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) refers
to the protection and the well being of employees and
public with regards to
health and
safety.
The OHS standards were first adopted in 1950 by the
International Labour Organization (ILO) and the
World Health Organization
(WHO.) These systems were set up for moral, economic and
legal reasons. There have been legal legislations,
regulations, and enforcements enacted to regulate OHS such
as the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA.)
Two general contents of OSH consist of
hazards, risks, outcomes and risk assessment. A hazard can
be controlled to reduce risk.
Risk
assessment on the other hand is the identification of
those hazards.
The DataPipe
OHS Software solution is a series of modules that
covers the following areas: Absences, Blood and Urine
Tests, Case Management, Clinic Visits, Controlled
Substance Screening, EKG, Ergonomics, General Incidents
(Events), Hearing/Audiometrics, Immunizations &

several more.
Knowing and understanding the
Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) laws will help
to avoid the unnecessary costs and damage to a business
caused by workplace injury and illness.
NIOSH
and other websites are a good source of this information.
As you can see, DataPipe has thorough coverage of
occupational health and medicine. If you are interested in
seeing this occupational health modules more closely,

Sometimes Occupational Health Software is referred to as
Electronic
Medical Records Software or
Health
Information Management System (HIMS), or
Occupational
Medicine Software.
Typically nurses and doctors who are using occupational
health software will want to administer and track the data
for
physical exams,
medical exams and
medical history for
patients. These are tasks that are easily handled
using the DataPipe
Questionnaires module.
Safety in the workplace is critical to
the success of running a business, no matter what the size. From very large corporations to small business owners,
you have certain rights and responsibilities regarding
health and safety in your workplace. Even if you don’t
have any employees, you must ensure that your business
doesn’t create health and safety problems for your
customers and the general public.
Knowing and understanding the
Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) laws will help you
avoid the unnecessary costs and damage to your business
caused by workplace injury and illness.

This is why managing your health and
safety data has become so important. As a company
grows, more employees come on board and the chance for
disease, sickness or injury increases, handling this data
on a massive scale becomes nearly impossible without the
help of data management software specifically designed to
deal with and integrate the data as a whole.
