Does anyone have any experience of Airsweb?

Various divisions in my company are keen to implement company wide. Having limited knowledge of these systems, the costs seem very high in comparison to previous systems I saw quotes for.

Any info gratefully received

Hi Ian,
I suggest that you contact James Murphy at HS Direct Ltd. 0114 244 4461. They work with organisations such as local authorities and multisite businesses and have an internet based system that might be of interest to you.

Regards,
Tim.

Thanks, I'll call them. Alternative systems would be interesting to compare. My issue with Airsweb is that it seemed very costly compared to other products. If anyone has used it, is it worth the cost?

Hi Ian
I introduced AIRSWEB into a Local Authority about 8 years ago and found it extremely useful for reporting incidents as people could report from there bases spread across the Borough and the data was then available to anyone who needed it. The cost like any such system will be dependent on what you sign up to. You can have it so that one administrator inputs all data, selected people in different locations or the ultimate is that anyone can input the basic accident information. Check what you have been quoted for and make sure that when comparing other organisations you do at least look at like for like.
Other organisations that do similar things are Datix and Ulysses which were set up for the healthcare sector but can be amended to suit other areas.
Take care
John C

And it gets even more expensive if you want to continually improve the report system.
"they" charge you for every alteration/ upgrade

IMHO find someone who is a wizz at excell to build a spread sheet that does the same job - no "upgrade costs" that way.

Try the link below to SysAid. We use it for IT, facilities and H&S....and it is free up to a point. We have the paid for version but started out on the free version until we outgrew it.

At a meeting with colleagues working for another government agency we found that they had spend £100 000 plus buying an accident reporting system for their peripatetic staff. For the past five years we have been using an in-house system designed by a member of our team and an IT person over a couple of cups of coffee, which seems to do all the things that this all singing all dancing software does. So if you have the IT resource and can piggy back on existing systems like a staff database then an in house bespoke accident reporting system is possible.
