Ensuring a Safe and Healthy Organizational Structure with DS EHS

With 19 goals and 169 targets, the United Nations aimed to foster sustainable development to give the people and the planet an improved and better future. Goal 1 aims to eradicate poverty, goal 3 encourages the health and well-being of individuals, and Goal 8 emphasizes economic development and acceptable decent work. Occupational health and safety inculcate the aspects of these goals.

Workplace safety and health became a part of Fundamentals Principles and Rights at Work in the 110th session of the International Labor Conference 2022. The increasing death rate at the workplace became one of the leading reasons for ensuring a safer and healthier system. 2.78 million people (about the population of Mississippi) die due to accidents or diseases occurring at the workplace. This rate is much higher than the deaths due to military conflict and invasions, on-road hazards, or the deaths from incurable diseases.

Organizations believe that to execute and achieve the vision and goals of your business, you must ensure the well-being and safety of your employees. Sophisticated, automated, and intelligent solutions have now become an integral part of providing the protocols to avoid and eliminate risks and hazards. DS EHS for Dynamics 365 module turns your vision for employees into an achievable goal. It guides your way to reduce risks and shapes your processes in line with the safety precautions.

This blog covers the broader perspective of employee health and safety and explains its needs and advantages to foster a secure and better workplace. Let us dive deeper into it.

Employee Health & Safety Solution: A Brief Overview

The organization’s grow with a vision and mission. The employees working there are the driving forces who put those building blocks to make the foundation stronger. Valuing their well-being and prioritizing them encourages employees to work with dedication and give their best to the organization. However, injuries, deaths, and diseases kill many people at the workplace every year. It became necessary to reduce such hazards and accidents to give a sense of a secure environment.

This requires a need to assess such risks, dig into the reasons, and find a way to lower the death and injury rate. Understanding, training, monitoring, and smooth implementation of an EHS module will partner you in your goal to prioritize your employees over all the accidents and risks waiting out there for them during their work. It consists of regulations, policies, standard operation protocols, and things like insurance which help to create a hazard-free employee-friendly environment.

Why and Where to Use an EHS Solution

The first thing that comes to mind is why we need an EHS module, and what good does it do for our organization. Anyone spending a large capital investment in such a module will ask such a question. There are several answers to this question, a few are as follows:

• Human safety is before business goals or daily task completion. In any organization, if an employee is mentally and physically sound and secure, that will drive more value to your business. These modules allow you to identify, assess, and find a way out of any hazard and provide preventive measures. That is saving the lives of your employees as well as avoiding any capital loss.
• Every person in an organization is associated with a distinct set of tasks and equipment. If an incident happens, that will affect both the employee as well as devices (in case it is a technical issue). The operational continuity for that specific area would not be possible. Therefore, this solution allows you to keep the workflow smooth by avoiding and countering these situations.
• Since your work environment is safe, and employees feel secure, they can give better results and be more productive. This will also save you a lot of costs because you would not be worrying about the compensation costs and financial liabilities you might have to pay in case of an accident or death.

This is a generic overview of why you need an intelligent solution like EHS. The next question is which industries need this solution. Though an employee’s safety and well-being should be a priority of every organization there are certain areas more prone to hazards and accidents that may result in human and capital loss. So, an EHS module is necessary for them.

Industries associated with manufacturing and using heavy machinery, dangerous raw materials, or construction sites where the risks of accidents and fatalities are high should have prevention and emergency protocols. Similarly, laboratories or healthcare facilities are also exposed to dangerous infections, processes, and materials. Protective gear and preventive measures can minimize any unavoidable circumstances.

Other industries like logistics, mining, agriculture, retail, and even educational institutions should practice safety measures and define protocols to counter any hazard. Lastly, even the offices associated with desk jobs need to ensure their employees’ physical and psychological well-being. So, the EHS solution is equally important there.
