1. Introduction
NUS activities and
workplaces, in particular
laboratories and workshops
are subject to a number of
regulations such as the
Workplace Safety &
Health Act, Radiation
Protection Act, Biological
Agents and Toxins Act, etc.
These regulations require
NUS staff and students to
conduct risk assessments,
undergo relevant training,
obtain licenses and permits,
conduct inspections/audits
and obtain approvals from
OSHE.
To assist NUS staff and
students to better manage
the administrative tasks
involved in these processes
needed for safety and health
compliance, an online,
integrated system known as
EHS360 has been developed.
EHS360 is comprised of
sub-modules dedicated to
serving different functions
such as training management,
document management etc.
The different modules and
their relevant functions are
detailed in the diagram
below.
Key benefits of EHS360:
-
Online central depository
for all safety and health
related documents to
facilitate quick and easy
access to documents
-
Reduction in manual
processes; for example,
manual submission of audit
documents etc.
-
Automated system for sending
of reminders to attend
refresher trainings, renewal
of licenses etc.
2. Modules
Workplace Safety and Health
Information Registry (WSHIR)
WSHIR is a central depository
of all safety and health
related documents. The module
supports a safety and health
management system approach
that will help stakeholders
mitigate risks, satisfy
compliance requirements and
track safety and health
performance. WSHIR will help
key safety and health
appointees (e.g. safety
coordinators and safety leads)
to manage and update safety
and health information such as
licenses, risk assessments,
safe work procedures,
hazardous materials inventory
list, audit/inspection reports
etc. The system can also be
used for risk profiling of
workspace(s), hazard
communications and generation
of reports for monitoring
safety and health performance.
Accident and Incident
Management System (AIMS)
AIMS is a platform for the
management of accident and
incident reporting,
investigation and monitoring.
It allows online reporting of
incidents by NUS staff and
students and facilitates
follow-up by the investigating
officer. Information captured
is used in the identification
of root cause(s) of incidents,
tracking of corrective and
preventive measures. The
system can also generate
reports for trend analysis.
More information and details
about AIMS are available
here
.
