TRA Enhances Behavioral Based Safety Reporting With IndustrySafe Safety Software

Philadelphia, PA - TRA is pleased to announce enhanced behavioral based safety reporting with IndustrySafe Safety Software. IndustrySafe Safety Management Software provides organizations with web-based safety data management tools including incident tracking, OSHA recordkeeping, and OSHA logs, inspections, training tracking, hazards, behavioral based safety, claims, corrective actions and more.

Behavioral based safety refers to the concept that organizations improve safety by transforming the safety culture and behavior of its workers, managers, and subcontractors. Organizations often implement behavioral based safety programs in which employees and managers proactively observe the conditions or acts of their fellow employees and provide both positive and negative feedback. Observational feedback can foster a strong safety culture, encourage increased safe behavior, and reduce at risk or unsafe behaviors. Studies have shown that an increase in safe behavior will result in a corresponding decrease in incidents and/or accidents.

"We are excited about the enhancements in IndustrySafe Safety Software to improve behavioral based safety reporting. These enhancements are a direct result of feedback from our clients and potential clients" states Clare Epstein, Vice President of TRA. "We are anxious to let safety and human resource professionals know about these modifications as it can result in easy and efficient tracking of employee behavior and ultimately improve safety." To assist organizations in learning more about behavioral based safety and the IndustrySafe Safety Software, TRA will be offering free webinars on the topic. Individuals can sign up for webinars at the IndustrySafe Safety Software website at http://industrysafe.com/webinar.html

IndustrySafe Safety Software has greatly improved its observations module which is used to track behavioral based safety. The Observations Module has been significantly re-designed so that data entry of safe and at-risk behavior is much easier and quicker. This re-design more closely matches the checklist approach that is used with observation cards and by most organizations who track data for a behavioral based safety program. Almost all of the fields on the observation form can be configured by System Administrators (and the reports adjust accordingly). There is also a new report that generates a print out similar to the observation cards commonly used. More detailed product features of the IndustrySafe Safety Software Observations Module is available at www.industrysafe.com/features_observations.html
