Software evaluation

Is your safety software keeping up?

15 questions on whether the system you have does what your operation needs, scored out of 30. You’ll get an honest read section by section, and a straight answer on where the gaps are.

What the evaluation covers

15 questions across five parts of a safety program, and every one is about something an operation needs however it runs safety today: a platform somebody sells, a spreadsheet somebody built, or a binder somebody keeps. What comes back is where your own setup is already solid and where it is worth improving.

The five sections

  • Framework and documentation3 questions
  • Risk assessment and mitigation3 questions
  • Hazard and incident reporting3 questions
  • Safety assurance3 questions
  • Performance and monitoring3 questions

15 questions, 30 points, about ten minutes.

How it scores

What the score means

Two points for yes, one for partly, none for no, across 5 sections, so 30 is the maximum.

A score here is a description, not a recommendation.

It reads back what you answered about the system you already have. A low one is worth sitting with before it is worth acting on, because the cost of changing safety software is real and a gap you can close with the vendor you have is the cheaper answer.

Your turn

Let’s get started

Fifteen questions, about ten minutes. Answer for the system you have today rather than the one you were sold, and the result will be worth something.

0 of 15 answered0%

Section 1 of 5

Framework and documentation

Does the software support a complete safety management system: a documented policy, risk management, assurance and promotion, rather than one part of it?

Are policies, procedures and records documented in one place and retrievable when somebody asks for them?

Can the software adapt as your requirements change, without waiting on the vendor to build something?

Section 2 of 5

Risk assessment and mitigation

Does it let you identify, classify and evaluate risks rather than only record that something happened?

Can risk assessments be tailored to how your operation actually works, including your own thresholds?

Does somebody get told when a risk crosses a threshold, without having to go looking?

Section 3 of 5

Hazard and incident reporting

Is reporting quick enough that the people doing the work actually use it, including from a phone?

Can somebody report confidentially and trust that it stays that way?

Can you follow a report from the moment it arrives to the moment it is closed, and see who did what?

Section 4 of 5

Safety assurance

Is there a record of who changed what and when, that cannot be quietly edited afterwards?

Does the system have a part to play in an emergency, or is it only useful afterwards?

Can you tell whether a control you put in place actually worked?

Section 5 of 5

Performance and monitoring

Can you see how safety performance is moving without building the picture yourself?

Does the system surface repeat issues, rather than leaving them to be noticed?

When an auditor or a board asks for evidence, can you produce it without a scramble?

15 questions still to answer.
