Looking For a Good Set of Reporting Tools?

InetSoft’s StyleBI features a state-of-the-art reporting engine that allows for the easy creation of pixel-perfect paginated reports that can draw on data from virtually any desired source.

Additionally web-based dashboards can be designed with the same drag-and-drop designer that enable data exploration to satisfy all your ad hoc reporting needs.

Automated Reporting with InetSoft's Report Scheduler

With InetSoft’s report scheduler, users can set reports to automatically run at regular intervals, or be triggered by business conditions.

When a weekly, monthly, or annual report is created, it can be set not only to run at whatever desired interval, but also can be automatically exported to it’s recipients.

What about when certain conditions arise that require immediate attention? The report scheduler can be programmed to automatically produce and export an ad-hoc report whenever a certain business-rule is triggered. With these protections in place, you can be sure that no early warnings or early opportunities slip by management’s attention.

4. Enhancing Regulatory Compliance: Demonstrating compliance with environmental and safety regulations to stakeholders.
5. Hazard Identification and Assessment: Logging and documenting hazard identification findings, risk assessments, and corrective actions.
6. Identifying Safety Trends: Recognizing patterns in EHS data to identify potential hazards or risk factors.
7. Incident Investigation and Root Cause Analysis: Utilizing incident data to investigate root causes and develop preventive measures.
8. Incident Management: Capturing and tracking incident reports, including injuries, near misses, and environmental releases.
9. Performance Measurement: Collecting and analyzing data on EHS metrics, such as safety metrics, environmental performance indicators, and regulatory compliance rates.
10. Proactive Safety Planning: Utilizing data insights to develop proactive safety plans and initiatives.
11. Reporting and Analytics: Generating reports for internal stakeholders, external regulators, and insurance providers.

Key EHS Metrics

1. Total recordable incident rate (TRIR): The number of recordable incidents per 100,000 worker-hours. A lower TRIR indicates a safer workplace.
2. Lost workday case rate (LWCR): The number of lost workdays per 100,000 worker-hours. A lower LWCR indicates that workers are spending less time away from work due to injuries or illnesses.
3. Days away, restricted, or transferred (DART) rate: The number of days away from work, restricted work activity, or transferred light duty work per 100,000 worker-hours. A lower DART rate indicates that workers are experiencing fewer work-related injuries and illnesses.
4. Fatality rate: The number of fatalities per 100,000 worker-hours. A fatality rate of zero is the safest outcome.
5. Air emissions: The amount of pollutants released into the air, such as greenhouse gases, particulate matter, and nitrogen oxides.
6. Water discharges: The amount of pollutants discharged into water, such as chemicals, metals, and sediments.
7. Waste generation: The amount of waste generated, such as hazardous waste, municipal solid waste, and industrial waste.
8. Energy consumption: The amount of energy consumed, such as electricity, natural gas, and propane.
9. Employee participation in health and wellness programs: The percentage of employees who participate in health and wellness programs, such as health screenings, flu vaccinations, and ergonomic training.
10. Employee absenteeism rate: The percentage of employees who are absent from work due to illness or injury. A lower absenteeism rate indicates a healthier workforce.
11. Employee turnover rate: The percentage of employees who leave the organization each year. A lower turnover rate indicates that employees are more satisfied with their jobs and the work environment.
12. Employee engagement rate: The percentage of employees who are engaged in their work and feel connected to the organization. A higher engagement rate indicates a more productive and motivated workforce.
