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:

  1. Online central depository for all safety and health related documents to facilitate quick and easy access to documents
  2. Reduction in manual processes; for example, manual submission of audit documents etc.
  3. 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 .

Training Management

Key features of the Training Management module:

  1. Assign relevant safety and health training courses for each group member
  2. Send email notifications and reminders to attend relevant trainings
  3. Generate e-certificates within 24 hours
  4. Dashboard for staff and student s to view the status of their completion of the safety and health trainings
  5. Generate training reports for management review

Events Safety Management System

Events Safety Management System (ESM) is a platform where staff and students can submit their safety management plans for their local or overseas events / activities; apply for Temporary Change of Use Permit Online Application (TPA) as well as arranging a face-to-face consultation appointment with OSHE for any safety matters or discussion to review safety plans.

Safety consultation and TPA approval applications are to be made online at least 14 days before the commencement of the event / activity. Late submission and/or submitting incorrect or inaccurate information will delay the whole consultation or approval process.

Currently, the available sub-modules are applications pertaining to (i) Genetic Modifications Advisory Committee (GMAC) proposals and (ii) Registration of Risk Group 2 veterinary biologics under the NUS institutional Licence to Possess Veterinary Biologics (LPVB).
