Top 3 Reasons to Choose FlexManager When You’re in Construction
Here at FlexManager, we provide our platform for businesses across a wide range of industries, including ports & maritime, healthcare, oil & gas, manufacturing, fire & rescue, and facilities management. One of the biggest industries that uses our platform is construction. So, in this blog, we’re going to breakdown three key reasons why you need FlexManager if you’re in the construction industry.
Offline Features Let You Continue Working
Constant online connectivity isn’t always possible when you’re working on site. Poor connections and adverse weather conditions can often work against you when all you want to do is get your work done for the day. With FlexManager, you can carry on doing what you need without being concerned about your connection dropping.
That’s right – let’s say you want to populate a Risk Assessment Method Statement (RAMS) detailing how a high-risk task will be carried out safely. Even if your network connection drops, you can still complete it; once the connection restores, it can be synced to the desktop system when you return to coverage.
The same applies for permits and inductions. It means you can get on with the task at hand, save time having to redo everything from scratch, while also cutting down on the frustration of losing work.
The Ability to Report Incidents as They Happen
Incidents happen from time to time, and no workplace is completely without them. That said, the construction industry is arguably more hazardous than most. With FlexManager, businesses in construction can use the Incident Reporting module to capture incidents as they happen, standardise how they are reviewed, and keep corrective actions through to completion.
The Incident Reporting module puts control in the user’s hands to own the process of reporting incidents. It allows them to record the nature of the incident that has happened, track follow-up actions, and turn incident data into safety insights.
Essentially, it means that workers can ultimately use the Incident Reporting module to become more aware of safety incidents and incident prevention. It’s a useful module for businesses in the construction industry because it can play an integral role in promoting a proactive culture of workplace safety responsibility.
Audit-Ready Results for When You Need Them
Compliance is a very important responsibility of businesses with health & safety requirements, which is really every operation. It means needing to have documented proof that a business has taken certain steps to help ensure the safety and well-being of their workers. With FlexManager, operations in the construction industry can swap outdated paper trails for always up-to-date digital records that can be easily shared with those who need them.
Essentially, it means that a business’ records will be audit-ready, always. So, RAMS, inspections, and training records can be kept up to date and ready for whenever an audit takes place.
So, there you have our three reasons to choose FlexManager if you’re in construction. Our platform was built to foster the standard that the industry should follow; we’re not building a platform just to keep pace with the industry. That’s why it was designed to help those who need to keep construction sites compliant: the HSEQ managers, the site/operations managers, and the contracts/commercial managers.
