Workplace Safety (EHS)

Workplace Safety (EHS) Software for Mid-Sized Companies

Mid-market employers have several sites and a small safety team, so consistency and follow-up across locations are the main challenges.

Research in progress

We have not yet verified which workplace safety (EHS) platforms serve this segment. We rank workplace safety (EHS) software for mid-sized companies once at least 3 products have that evidence; until then, this page sets out what matters and what we evaluate.

What we evaluate

  • OSHA recordkeeping forms

    Produces OSHA Forms 300, 300A and 301 from incident data.

  • Electronic submission

    Supports submission of injury data to OSHA's system.

  • Mobile incident capture

    Lets workers or supervisors log incidents on phones.

  • Severe injury reporting prompts

    Prompts for reportable severe injuries within required times.

  • Corrective action tracking

    Assigns and tracks corrective and preventive actions.

  • Inspections and audits

    Runs inspection checklists, audits and observations and records findings.

  • Privacy handling

    Protects employee names in records as required.

  • Analytics and benchmarks

    Calculates incident rates such as TRIR and compares them with benchmarks.

  • Integrations

    Connects to HR, workers' compensation and training systems.

  • Safety training

    Tracks safety training completion and certifications by employee.

What matters for mid-sized companies

  1. Multi-site permissions

    Site leads should see their data, while corporate sees everything.

  2. Electronic submission support

    The tool should export injury and illness data in the format OSHA accepts for electronic submission.

  3. Inspection workflows

    Standard checklists make sites comparable.

  4. Workers' compensation link

    Claims and incidents should reference each other.

How to choose workplace safety (EHS) software

Safety software earns its value when it changes what happens after an incident or inspection. Choose for field usability and closed-loop action tracking before dashboards.

Ask to see the workflow from an injury on a job site to a completed OSHA record.

  1. OSHA recordkeeping forms

    Many employers with more than 10 employees must keep records on Forms 300, 300A and 301 or equivalents, and keep them for five years after the year they cover.

  2. Electronic submission support

    Establishments meeting size and industry criteria must submit data to OSHA's Injury Tracking Application, by March 2 for the prior year's data.

  3. Mobile incident capture

    Reports made on a phone at the scene are more complete and more timely than forms filled in later.

  4. Severe injury reporting prompts

    Fatalities must be reported within 8 hours, and hospitalizations, amputations and eye loss within 24 hours.

  5. Corrective and preventive action tracking

    Recording incidents without closing actions does not reduce risk.

  6. Inspections, audits and observations

    Proactive checks find hazards before they cause injuries.

Requirements by company size

  • Mid-sized companies

    • Multi-site configuration and permissions
    • Electronic submission support
    • Inspection and audit workflows
    • HRIS and workers' compensation integration

    Watch out for

    • Sites using different incident definitions
    • Dashboards without data quality checks
    • Training links that do not sync

Red flags

  • The vendor cannot show OSHA 300, 300A and 301 generated from the same incident.
  • Mobile reporting requires a constant connection.
  • Corrective actions can be closed without evidence or approval.
  • Compliance is described as automatic rather than tied to specific recordkeeping requirements.
  • Raw data cannot be exported.
