Achieve global HSE culture and approach through digital in Quebec!

You have probably known several companies throughout your career, and in each of them, you have found a very unique way of approaching your tasks, your colleagues or your hierarchy...

Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) is no exception to this rule and even if the ultimate goal remains the same in all companies (aiming for zero accidents, mastering waste management, etc.). To achieve these goals, the methods can be completely different. This is precisely where digital can make things way easier.

The HSE culture is built little by little over time to gradually become the DNA of the company. If we consider that corporate culture defines what is encouraged, discouraged, accepted or rejected by the group, it explains the daily HSE actions of managers and employees in the company as well. This is why HSE culture is at the heart of the management system.

Disseminating HSE culture through digital technology, a challenge for Quebecer companies

In Quebec, only 25% of companies have automated their processes using digital technology, compared to 55% of American corporations and 75% of German organizations (source: lesaffaires.com). Therefore, it is a real challenge for companies to stand out from competition and cross the threshold of digitalization!

I have been "the safety guy" in several companies.

I printed out countless Word forms each time I had to prepare for audits. I manually filled in the findings in these same Word files after each audit. After that I re-filled countless Excel tracking tables, to finally send a massive number of emails to share the results.

All this time spent on these administrative tasks for a single audit is the same amount of time you spend on your incident/accident reports, your investigations, your training follow-ups etc...
AND this is where digital comes in...

Digital, a strong signal of the HSE culture

Thanks to digital technology, your audits or accident reports can now be done from a smartphone or tablet. With a simple click, you can add photos, your location on a map or use voice dictation to fill in your form.

Once completed, click "save" and your digital form is transformed into a PDF report, automatically emailed to the people of your choice and will be added to the monitoring table corresponding to your form.

The icing on the cake is that you no longer need to search for your various information in your multiple Excel tables, all the information will be compiled in a global action plan that you can filter as you wish by origin, by action manager, by department, etc.

Digital will make you rediscover your job! Better forms, easier to fill, more intuitive, 2 to 3 times faster input.
