The topic of occupational health and safety is of particular importance for all companies and is becoming even more important in the age of digitalization. However, “occupational health and safety” does not just mean protecting all employees at work. The avoidance and prevention of possible hazards, accidents, damage and risks to the health or integrity of third parties, property and the environment must also be taken into account. In addition to visitors, external company employees, machines or buildings, this also includes the environment (not only) in the neighborhood.
Comprehensive occupational health and safety therefore includes the areas ofhealthandenvironmentalprotection in addition to occupationalsafety. This is why the term “EHS management” has become established in the working world.
Its responsibilities include the initiation, implementation, management and control of appropriate measures, means and methods. It is important to observe the numerous legal obligations and regulations, which are constantly being supplemented, amended or adapted. The organizational effort and time required for this is enormous and almost impossible to manage with conventional means. But it can also be easier, more efficient and clearer…
Sophisticated, holistic occupational health and safety software can be an ideal tool for companies here.
With the help of occupational health and safety software, all information can be summarized, processed and retrieved online – quickly and clearly. The sam® solution system from secova offers various function modules that can be put together to suit the company’s needs (modular system). All modules interlock seamlessly and can be activated at any time.
In addition to the basic EHS system for electronic instructions(instruction topics), there are modules for risk assessment as well as for hazardous substance, external company, incident, health, compliance, maintenance, survey, idea and document management. By the way: sam® risk assessment is even TÜV-certified! TÜV-Thüringen awarded this certification to the function module – following a thorough audit review – for its comprehensive process reliability.
When it comes to occupational health and safety, companies are required by law to implement a wide range of requirements and steps, some of which are very individual, and not just activity-related. But they all have one thing in common:
The employer or the respective manager is responsible for the corresponding organization, implementation and monitoring.
“Are my employees always sufficiently informed about the topics relevant to them? Have they demonstrably acquired all the necessary knowledge and really understood everything?” – These are the key criteria that must be ensured at all times. Keeping an eye on everything at all times is best achieved with the support of a sophisticated software solution for professional EHS management(here you can find more information on EHS meaning & EHS Management).
With sam® from secova, all relevant information on occupational health and safety is available online anytime and anywhere – whether at work, at home or on the move. The browser-based system can be used on a stationary PC and also on mobile devices directly on site with the EHS Manager app. This app is the ideal tool for inspections, tests, audits, risk assessments or incident recordings and for training directly at the workplace.
All occupational health and safety data can be called up online with the software on a daily basis and at the touch of a button, making evaluations and reports a breeze. An integrated appointment reminder also automatically draws attention to upcoming occupational health check-ups or expiration dates for the safety training or instruction that still needs to be carried out online.
Being able to manage occupational health and safety online really makes work easier for the organization in the company and saves a lot of time.
A sophisticated effectiveness check in the system also checks whether employees have really understood everything in their training courses or risk assessments. This not only ensures greater knowledge and safety in the workplace, but also demonstrably improved legal certainty.
However, usability is particularly important for the acceptance and success of such a solution in the working environment. With sam® it is as simple as with an ATM.
Occupational health and safety software is a great help for companies to comply with their numerous legal obligations. Where and how has the law laid down the regulations on occupational health and safety?
In addition to the general Occupational Health and Safety Act, there are numerous regulations that apply to a wide variety of areas.
Examples include the Workplace Ordinance, Construction Site Ordinance, Industrial Safety Ordinance, Hazardous Substances Ordinance and, in terms of health protection, the Ordinance on Occupational Health Care.
There are also regulations to protect employees from various hazards at work, such as noise and vibrations or artificial optical radiation (e.g. laser light).

The Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (BMAS ) is advised by an occupational health and safety committee on a wide range of issues relating to the health and safety of employees.
In total, there are the following five state committees: Committee for Workplaces (ASTA), Committee for Occupational Medicine (AfAMed), Committee for Occupational Safety (ABS), Committee for Biological Agents (ABAS) and Committee for Hazardous Substances (AGS). Each individual health and safety committee draws up corresponding national regulations. The aim is to concretize the requirements to such an extent that they provide solutions for implementing the legally binding requirements of occupational health and safety law. Employers, trade unions, state authorities, the statutory accident insurance institutions, the scientific community and experts are represented on the committees.
In addition, there is the “Länderausschuss für Arbeitsschutz und Sicherheitstechnik (LASI)”. It has drawn up a guideline on the “Joint German Occupational Health and Safety Strategy (GDA)” as well as several guidelines. This includes, for example, the “Guideline for Risk Assessment and Documentation” for the highest occupational health and safety authorities of the federal states and the prevention guidelines of the accident insurance providers. In terms of both occupational health and safety and health protection, the law and the individual institutions place a clear focus on prevention, risk minimization and precaution.
How can I use my occupational health and safety online?
Now use occupational health and safety software online from anywhere – at work, at home and also on the move with the sam® EHS Manager app
How can secova help me in times of Corona?
With suitable training courses and checklists on health and infection protection to inform and sensitize employees accordingly
Which employees actually need occupational health and safety software?
Basically, every employee needs the right protective measures for occupational safety
But how can all this really be implemented successfully in practice?
“We retain around 30 percent of what we hear – but almost 90 percent of what we do!” – This insight has only been partially reflected in occupational health and safety legislation to date. For example, initial instructions must always be given in person, preferably on the first day of work. In reality, the situation is often different when it comes to implementing the legally required instructions, which must be given at least once a year.
Still often seen as a (sometimes annoying) obligation, a date is then set under time pressure for a group training session, at best accompanied by handouts and overhead slides. The participants’ attention quickly wanes – the final signature on a list should then confirm that everything has been understood. In most cases, however, it is no more than a confirmation of attendance and not proof of actual successful knowledge transfer.
In sam®, the content is didactically prepared according to the latest findings in learning psychology.
For genuine occupational health and safety, we recommend the right mix of personal discussions including instruction, group training and support from a needs-based EHS software solution. sam® therefore not only includes an effective effectiveness check, the content is also didactically prepared according to the latest findings in learning psychology.
The ease of use also means that practically anyone can use this system and its modules. In the age of digitalization, the latest technologies such as virtual reality are already being used. In sam®-VR, users can practise specific and risky work steps in a virtual working environment “just like in real life”, but completely safely.
This provides companies with an “occupational safety platform” that meets their needs and enables full employee involvement.
Whether feedback, input of ideas and suggestions for improvement (CIP) or incident reports(more on incident management) – sam® as occupational health and safety software offers numerous possibilities here.
In addition, awareness and the important personal responsibility for occupational health and safety are promoted among employees. Important factors that have become even more significant as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
By the way: sam® also offers numerous training courses on correct behavior and appropriate protective measures in relation to coronavirus. There is also a checklist for managers to check whether “everything has been thought of” and implemented.
