In light of the new Work Health and Safety Act 2020 that came into effect in March 2022, businesses in Western Australia are facing more stringent workplace safety regulations and potentially higher penalties for non-compliance. To help companies navigate these new laws and ensure compliance, we have teamed up with SIMPRO to integrate FieldSafe, a comprehensive safety solution designed to enhance workplace safety and streamline compliance processes.
SIMPRO, a leading business management software for the trades industry, has been improving operational efficiency for over two decades. With approximately 250,000 users across 8,500 companies globally, SIMPRO has consistently demonstrated its ability to enhance productivity and profitability for businesses in fields such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. The integration of FieldSafe with SIMPRO provides a powerful tool to address the requirements of the new Work Health and Safety Act.
FieldSafe
FieldSafe is an industry-endorsed tool by the Electrical Contractors Association of Western Australia (ECA WA) helping digitise and centralise critical safety data and compliance records, simplifying Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) processes by offering digital solutions for:
- Pre-start checks
- Toolbox talks
- Vehicle inspections
- Risk assessments
- Incident reporting
This integration eliminates the need for cumbersome paperwork, allowing for efficient digital documentation, submission, and record-keeping that can be accessed anytime, anywhere. The app’s features, including digital signatures, geo-stamping, and image capture, ensure thorough and consistent safety practices across all operations.
FieldSafe’s real-time visibility of safety interactions and compliance records through its cloud-based dashboard enables businesses to track safety performance, run reports, and manage risks effectively. This aligns with the new legislation’s emphasis on proactive risk management and the need for comprehensive safety records.
By implementing FieldSafe, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to maintaining high safety standards and improving compliance. This is particularly crucial given the increased penalties under the new laws, which include fines of up to $3.5 million for serious breaches.
In summary, the partnership between TOKN Technology and Simpro through the FieldSafe app represents a significant advancement in field safety management. By integrating comprehensive safety features into SIMPRO’s robust business management platform, FieldSafe assists companies in meeting their obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act 2020, ultimately ensuring that their teams work safely and efficiently.
