One of the most challenging aspects of handling workplace safety is the sheer volume of data you're dealing with. Every location you operate in and project you undertake brings a new stockpile of information – training materials, compliance documents, insurance info and so on. The bigger and more complex your business becomes, the more you have to deal with.
It makes sense to invest in better resources for governing all your data and handling it properly.
With this in mind, it makes sense to invest in better resources for governing all that data and handling it properly. You want your information to be safe, secure, readily accessible and easy for employees to work with.
These days, that means using the cloud.
Cloud is soaring in popularity
When it comes to workplace safety documentation, there's no better way to store and safeguard your data than to keep it in the cloud. Nowadays, just about everyone is doing it. According to IBISWorld research, the market for data storage services in Australia alone is now making revenues of $2 billion annually.
The cloud is a huge reason for this. Companies have turned to the cloud because it's made it easy to control storage space and costs, scaling up and down based on the business' changing needs – a key capability in a dynamic business world.
Transitioning to one cloud solution
If your company is like most, you probably have an extensive work site safety checklist with a long series of tasks and challenges on it. Ideally, it would be good to move the entire list to the cloud, rather than rely on a process that's siloed and piecemeal.
According to PCWorld, everything about your workflow will change dramatically once you have a single cloud solution you can trust. You can start to move everything relevant to your company and its safety concerns under one roof – new email attachments, old files, mobile downloads and so on. The cloud, when used right, should become one centralised hub for all of your business' pertinent information.
A mobile app can change everything
The best way to improve safety at your company is to attack it with a twofold strategy – the cloud, and mobile. This is where SiteApp comes in, as it's a workplace safety app that will make it easy for your employees and their managers to track safety data using tablets, not clipboards and papers.
