No experience or knowledge in Safety and Health is required. The app knows and guides your monthly steps. We do all the heavy lifting for you in the background, with real people. Some business owners have their twelve-year-old child handling this app.

Even if only one person is employed, then the Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) is required by law to have a LIVE Health and Safety system that continuously works to improve safety & health risks.

The following are considered ’employees’ in terms of Safety and Health legislation:
⦁ permanent employees
⦁ temporary employees
⦁ part-timers
⦁ casuals
⦁ volunteers
⦁ contractors

Important Note: Host employers must treat a temporary worker like any other worker in terms of Training and Safety & Health protections. The VirtualSafety system will do this for you.

VirtualSafety has been using and perfecting virtual monitoring since 2002.
Drones started being used by OSHA Inspectors (USA) in 2016.

Virtual inspections are recognized and embraced worldwide because they’re safer and quicker, while a myriad of sensor combinations can also be added, such as thermal imaging.

Wearable Technology is now also accepted and promoted to record slip, trip and fall incidences, and corresponding response times.

Summary:
Drones and smart devices are enabling robotic automation without geographical restriction, and the opportunities for technological development and integration are advancing every day.

If you’re not immediately sure what to do, call us or have a look at the Tips & Help in our VirtualSafety app. For emergencies, call 911 or other local emergency services.
Be sure to use VirtualSafety to help record the incident.

No, not if you utilize the VirtualSafety app system and many of the innovations we see today in faster and cleaner tools are as a direct result of OSHA’s legislation requiring tool manufacturers and users alike to reduce risks in Safety and Health. 
VirtualSafety continues to challenge the belief that Safety and Health burdens a business’s resources and continues to challenge current paradigms regarding the successful running of a Safety and Health system and is the only company to be granted an Australian Innovation Patent for its methodology.

There are professional methods for implementing cost-cutting exercises. Like most entrepreneurs, you most likely relish making sales, but avoid cost-cutting initiatives owing to various emotional implications.

VirtualSafety conforms to the following essential components of Records Management:
⦁ Retention schedule complies with up-to-date laws and regulations
⦁ Indexing accuracy and accessibility of documents
⦁ Training and communication among staff and departments
⦁ Protection and preservation of records
⦁ Timely and consistent destruction of inactive files

ISO 15489-1 establishes the core concepts and principles for the design, implementation, and management of policy, information systems and processes allowing people, organizations, governments, private enterprises, and collaborative coalitions to:
⦁ Create and capture records to meet requirements for evidence of business activity
⦁ Take appropriate action to protect the authenticity, reliability, integrity, and usability of records, as well as their business context, and to identify requirements for their management over time

No. Ignorance is no excuse. Every company must adhere to regulations of some kind. All of us must follow the law.
But the need to meet legislated regulations goes even higher in select disciplines and industries. Safety & Health is the most stringent because people’s lives are at risk, and that’s why the penalties for non-compliance can result in business shutdowns and imprisonment, especially where the State can prove that your conduct didn’t exhibit due care (negligence).
VirtualSafety provides records evidencing that a particular process is and was followed at a particular moment in time.
The amount of regulations that one needs to adhere to these days is staggering and can create a challenging task for the Safety & Health person who needs to prove that these standards and regulations are being adhered to.
Business requires effective records management, as it would be otherwise impossible for someone to stand up to an audit and present adherence if the records hadn’t been collected and collated in real-time consistently for the months or years prior.
To be able to evidence regulatory adherence, you need to keep on top of your records consistently. You need to have it systemized. VirtualSafety does this all for you.

Yes. You need to be able to show your company has been acting and operating appropriately if ever the Authorities come knocking, and the point is; records cover your back.
Case Study: Golf Club (2017)
VirtualSafety was subpoenaed to produce all communication between one of our customers and ourselves. The customer, in this case, was a prominent golf club, and the action against it was civil, not statutory. The injury occurred when the wind blew over a tree on the golf course, striking a player. The player was badly injured and became paralyzed. The claim was for over $2.8 million.
The case was set to run for ten days in the Supreme Court; however, on the seventh day, VirtualSafety’s Workplace Health and Safety audit trail was called into evidence. Because this customer had been with VirtualSafety for over seven years, we were able to prove this customer was addressing their Safety and Health responsibilities to the Court.
VirtualSafety does four things very well; create, gather, store,  and produce evidence.
Although VirtualSafety was not called to attend the trial, the manager of the golf club was, and here is their response in their own words:
“Things weren’t looking too good for the club until our lawyer (defense) started reading out some of the HUGE amounts of signed paperwork which VirtualSafety had stored and sent into the court. Within a short time, an adjournment was called by the prosecution team, and an out-of-court settlement was quickly reached ….. there was no way we were going to win this case until this happened.”
Although the settlement was for an undisclosed amount, it is important to note that the club was pleased for two reasons; they were not found not guilty, so there was no prosecution, and the settlement was considerably less than what was sought after by the plaintiff. VirtualSafety has been designed to be a simple, user-friendly app system; however, in court, which it was designed to handle, it proves to be an extremely powerful tool in producing required evidence to stop a prosecution.
