Safety Workflows

Safety workflows in industrial settings are structured, repeatable processes that guide how safety-related tasks, such as hazard identification, incident reporting, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), PPE compliance

Safety Scorecards

A safety scorecard in industrial safety management is a structured tool used to track, measure, and visualize safety performance metrics across industrial sites. It consolidates key performance indicators

Frontline Safety

Frontline Safety refers to the protection and risk management strategies implemented to safeguard workers who operate in high-risk, industrial environments such as construction sites, manufacturing units

Central Monitoring Station (CMS)

A Central Monitoring Station (CMS) in industrial safety refers to a centralized command hub where data from various safety technologies, such as AI-powered CCTV cameras, video analytics, IoT sensors

Safety Incident Prevention

Safety Incident Prevention in industrial environments refers to the proactive approach of identifying and addressing potential hazards before they lead to accidents, injuries, or near-miss events

EHS Analytics

EHS Analytics refers to the systematic use of data, software, and real-time insights to monitor, measure, and improve Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) performance in industrial environments

Corrective Action Management

Safety Heatmaps

Safety heatmaps are visual representations used in industrial safety management to identify and monitor areas of high and low safety risk within a work environment. These heatmaps use color-coded gradients

Alarm Receiving Center (ARC)

An Alarm Receiving Center (ARC) is a centralized monitoring facility that receives real-time alerts from security, safety, and operational systems installed across industrial sites. These centers 24/7

Safe Work Load (SWL)

Safe Work Load (SWL) refers to the maximum load that lifting equipment, such as cranes, hoists, slings, shackles, or chains, can safely handle under specific operating conditions in an industrial

Near Miss Reporting

In industrial safety, a near miss refers to an unplanned event that had the potential to cause injury, illness, property damage, or operational disruption, but did not, either due to chance, quick action, or existing
