Posted By Peter Clement As adviser to a fire and rescue service I want to improve the speed with which we record and process event data [with "event" meaning any accident, near-miss, dangerous occurence or episode of work-related ill-health]relating to our employees. What experiences have you had with "electronic" recording by line managers at geographically scattered premises of what happened to who, where and when and if they are absent as a result? Our current paper version is cumbersome and not user-freindly. Any "on-screen" intranet versions that could be used? I look forward to your replies Many thanks Peter Clement

Posted By Ian Bruce Peter, We at Coventry Education Authority are just about to begin a trial of a secure internet based system produced by Safety Software Limited 0870 830 7900. We've no idea yet whether it will suit our needs - many scattered sites, reporting to one centre, many different events - accidents, assaults, fires etc, ability to use the data to generate reports (RIDDOR and internal) and also be user friendly. It might be worth you phoning them, we looked around for ages before we found this company, who seemed to take our diversity in their stride. I'm not connected with them in any way, I should point out; it just seems that they have a good product.

Posted By Alan Hides Hi Peter We have developed an intranet based event recording solution that seems to fit what you are looking for, it will log multiple events from geogrphically remote sites and allow central co-ordination. Please call me on 0115 848 4950 if you wish to discuss further. My name is Alan Hides and I am a director of SolutioHost UK Ltd
