What does EHS software for employees working from home need to fulfill?

EHS software for employees working from home must meet specific requirements in order to be effective. Here are the essential aspects that such software should cover:

• User-friendliness and accessibility: The software must be easy to use and understand so that employees can use it easily and immediately. A good example of this is the sam® software from secova, which is easier to use than an ATM and can be accessed both in the home office and on the move.
• Compliance with legal requirements: The Occupational Health and Safety Act also applies in the home office. Companies must ensure that they also guarantee the health and safety of their employees in the home working environment. This includes risk assessments, ergonomic workplace design, technical equipment and training on healthy working from home.
• Digital instruction and training: EHS software must offer the option of conducting training and instruction digitally. This enables employees to learn relevant health and safety topics flexibly and from any location. The sam® software offers e-learning platforms and webinars that enable audit-proof documentation of training courses.
• Ergonomic workplace design: The software should provide information and instructions on ergonomic workplace design. This includes the correct placement and adjustment of screens, lighting, sitting posture and other accessories. These measures help to minimize the health risks of working at a computer for long periods of time.
• Communication and information: Good EHS software facilitates communication and the exchange of information with employees working from home. It ensures that all relevant information and updates can be communicated quickly and efficiently.

In summary, EHS software for the home office should be user-friendly, legally compliant and comprehensive in terms of training, risk assessments and ergonomic workplace design in order to meet the special requirements of working from home. The sam® software from secova fulfills all these criteria and offers a practical solution for modern occupational health and safety in the home office.
