5 Reasons to Use SIMS™

Imagine one of the following scenarios at your company.

1.     An employee files a claim against your company, saying that your negligence contributed to his on-the-job injury.

2.     OSHA cites your business for violating a new safety rule that you didn’t know existed for your industry.

3.     You’re notified by a safety officer that your company has lost track of a critical document needed for an end-of-year compliance report.

The root of all three problems is the same — manual safety management and reporting processes. By using the electronic Safety Incident Management System (SIMS™) by ENDURE for safety management and reporting, your company could save hundreds — or thousands — of dollars in citations, fines or litigation while experiencing other benefits.

Here are five reasons to use SIMS™ at your organization.

1.  SIMS™ provides a security policy.
SIMS™ stores and tracks your organization’s safety information and data in an online database, making it available 24/7. In the event of an incident, you’ll be able to quickly submit critical documents to claims adjustments, lawyers, doctors or regulatory agencies so they can process them immediately, helping your organization significantly cut down on false claims and costly reporting errors.

2. SIMS™ frees up human resources.
In the past, facilities managers spent valuable hours managing and organizing forms for safety, medical and environmental reporting, time that could better be spent overseeing operations. As a mobile application, SIMS™ empowers managers to do all of this administration electronically. By managing safety documentation using mobile devices, your organization can save valuable hours while providing facilities managers with more on-the-job flexibility.

3. SIMS™ accelerates your safety culture.
SIMS™ technology provides real-time data about employee safety behaviors and trends, which you can use to hold employees more accountable to safety practices. By analyzing this data, you’ll also be able to monitor the effectiveness of your safety culture on a daily and annual basis, giving you a foundation to measure progress and identify areas for improvement.

4. SIMS™ keeps you in compliance.
SIMS™ technology is backed by a knowledgeable, professional client support team to monitor your organization’s safety and environmental compliance with government agencies such as OSHA or the EPA. This support team, along with the automated reporting tools of SIMS™, will help you get in compliance with new regulations, as well as stay on top of future rule changes.

5. SIMS™ shrinks your environmental footprint.
From safety reports to attendance sheets,  SIMS™ puts all of your critical safety and environmental documentation online, eliminating the need for paper documents. In addition to cutting costs, going paperless will allow you to cut down on waste in your organization to create more sustainable operations.

Documenting SAFETY and COMPLIANCE with SIMS™


Taking a proactive approach to safety and environmental reporting can save organizations millions of dollars in fines and litigation from government regulatory agencies. Yet many companies don’t have an efficient way to organize, update, track and analyze safety documents that are critical for compliance.

The Safety Incident Management System (SIMS™) from ENDURE helps organizations with safety and compliance recordkeeping by enabling you to:


  • Provide facilities managers with real-time data. SIMS™ is a mobile application, so safety managers have 24/7 access to critical documents such as health forms, incident reports and attendance sheets. It also allows them to input data on the go, ensuring your organization’s recordkeeping is always up to date.
  • Cut down on clutter. Electronic safety management systems like SIMS™ eliminate the need for paper documents by allowing safety managers to input, update, store and review safety documents online, streamlining the reporting process. Even better, doing away with paper documents means less clutter and more cost savings for your business.
  • Keep accurate records for regulatory agencies. Whether you’re tracking daily operations or emergency response activities, SIMS™ automates your organization’s recordkeeping so all of your necessary reporting information is readily available in one location for regulatory agencies and auditors. Automated recordkeeping also makes it easy to produce mandatory safety reports, such as an end-of-the-year OSHA 300 log.

How to incorporate SAFE WORK PRACTICES into your CULTURE?


Creating a work environment where people are safe takes a culture where leaders effectively enforce safety practices and employees hold themselves and each other accountable to those practices. To incorporate safe work practices in your culture, you need to balance safety leadership and personal accountability. Here are some tips to get you on the right track.

Employ a safety program manager. Keeping at least one permanent employee on staff to run your safety and environmental management program ensures that someone in your organization is continuously driving safety policy, learning new rules and making recommendations for safety improvements.

Put safety in your mission. Your mission statement should be a personal commitment statement to employees about what is important to your company. The key word here is “personal.” If your mission statement reads like a corporate brochure, rewrite it to explain why safety is important to your company and its culture.

Have more safety conversations. Encourage people to talk about safety at all levels of your organization, which empowers employees to take steps to drive safety practices, whether it is utilizing stop-work authority, reminding co-workers about safety protocols or proactively making suggestions to create a safer workplace.

Get mobile. In introducing a mobile application for safety personnel to manage real-time data about incidents, compliance and other aspects of your safety program empowers them to identify gaps in training or processes and take steps to improve them.

If you have ideas on how to integrate safety into your culture, we would love to hear them. Send your suggestions to info@endure-inc.com.

How MOBILE simplifies SAFETY MANAGEMENT and REPORTING?


If you asked your employees to empty their pockets, how many of them would pull out a safety manual? Now how about a smart phone? With so many people now using mobile devices, it’s no surprise that more and more companies are utilizing mobile technology to enhance their operations, especially in regard to safety management and reporting.

Mobile Safety Apps
There are already a variety of mobile applications on the market to assist companies with safety management and reporting, from Cargo Decoder – which lets workers know what’s in a truck or tanker using special codes – to NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards – an app that provides safety personnel with critical information on 677 hazardous chemicals.

Even OSHA has jumped on the mobile bandwagon by developing its OSHA Heat Safety Tool, a smart phone application for the Android, Blackberry and iPhone, designed to help companies protect their workers from heat-related illnesses. Using the mobile app, users can:
  • calculate the heat index for their worksite
  • get reminders about protective measures to avoid heat-related illness
  • receive training on heat illness signs and symptoms


Mobile Management Systems
Want to make mobile an even bigger part of your safety program? Consider implementing an electronic safety management system, such as ENDURE’s Safety Incident Management System (SIMS™) option. SIMS will store your records digitally and can be accessed by employees as a mobile app, allowing your safety managers to retrieve or input critical safety info on the go.
