Accident Reporting And Investigation Management Software

Accident reporting and investigation management software is a digital system used to record workplace accidents and incidents, conduct investigations, identify causes and manage corrective actions.

Instead of relying on paper forms, spreadsheets, emails and manually maintained investigation records, organizations can manage the complete incident lifecycle through a centralized platform.

The software can be configured to manage different event types such as near misses, injuries, first aid cases, lost time injuries, fire emergencies, property damage and other workplace incidents.
