quality — pointer / environment, health and safety

Spot risks before they become incidents. Close risks before they cost you.

Every hazard closed is an injury, a claim and an overtime shift that never happens. EHS turns every safety audit into a hazard that's owned, fixed and proven closed.

the problem

The hidden cost of incidents.

Hospitals are among the most hazardous places to work. In the United States, they record almost twice the rate of work-related injuries and illnesses as private industry, and more lost-time injuries than construction or manufacturing. Each one becomes lost time, a claim, overtime cover, and a team stretched further.

Source: US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), worker safety in hospitals.

The same hazards surface month after month, because ownership and escalation are weak.
At inspection, teams can show they did audits, but not which clause each finding satisfies, or proof it was closed.
Inspection weeks trigger binder-building that pulls people off the floor.
Chemical risk assessments and safety data sheets drift in spreadsheets, without reminders.

Most hazards are found. Too few are closed.

Not all safety programmes are equal.

Typical safety programme EHS
After a hazard is found Noted in the minutes, waiting Assigned to an owner with a deadline
When nothing happens Raised again next month Escalates automatically

how it works

Audit. Act. Prove.

Fire safety and exits · Level 3
Exit signs lit pass
Exit corridor clear fail
Extinguisher in date pass
Fire doors close fully pass
Evacuation plan displayed pass

Reason: equipment stored in the corridor, no storage space

Audit

Start from a ready-made library: environmental hygiene, sharps and waste, fire safety and exits, isolation readiness, ergonomics, linen and sanitation. Adapt any audit to your policies in minutes. Templates for chemical risk assessments and safety data sheets give your team a starting point; your team keeps them current. Audits run on a phone or tablet.

Act

Every hazard is assigned to an owner with a deadline, and escalates if it stalls. A structured reason shows why it happened: a training gap, a supply issue, a workflow conflict. Owners and the safety team agree the fix in one thread, with photos and documents. Needlestick injuries, exposures and any other finding can route straight to incident reporting in Root.

Prove

Every hazard keeps a timeline from found to verified closed. With IQA, each audit item is mapped to the regulations it evidences, such as your country's occupational safety law or ISO 45001, so you can show any inspector the clause, the finding, the evidence and the closure, in one click.

get the truth sooner

Staff report hazards when they aren't afraid to.

Reporting stalls when staff fear blame. EHS separates learning from discipline: quick capture, structured reasons, and a clear path to fix the cause (supplies, workflow, training) instead of faulting people. You hear about hazards sooner, while they're still easy to fix.

Questions safety teams ask

Will this add work for staff or safety officers? +

No. Audits are fast on mobile, assignments and reminders replace chasing, and inspection packs build themselves.

Can we map audits to our country's regulations? +

Yes, with IQA. Each audit item is mapped to the clauses it evidences, in your country's occupational safety law, ISO 45001 or the facility and safety elements of JCI, and one item can count towards several standards at once.

Do you keep the chemical templates up to date? +

No. The templates are a starting point in the library. Your team keeps them current to your hospital's chemicals and regulations.

Do findings connect to incident reporting? +

Yes. Any finding, including needlestick injuries and exposures, can route to incident reporting in Root.

Can we see why hazards keep coming back? +

Yes. Reason codes and recurrence history show the systemic causes, not just the symptoms.

Do we need integration with our hospital systems? +

No. EHS is live in under four weeks with no integration needed.

How is it priced? +
