This is regularly asked so may be worth a forum search.

There are many systems out there, most are similar, achieve the same end point but in different ways with different reporting ability. There is also a difference in how they operate in the filed - i.e. mobile. There can also be quite a difference in costs.

It will really depend on your organisation, structure and what you want from the syste. 

The starting point is to be clear on the must haves and nice to have componants of the system, does it need to intigrate with other systems and does it need to be mobile and/or accessed by many people.

Once you have this kind of thing established you can go and look at the market.

Hope this helps

Having a Groundhog day Eddy? You asked a very similar question on 20th December:

http://forum.iosh.co.uk/posts/t131897-HSE-Software-Management

Sorry to be boring neurotic but the phrase “managing the HSE function”  worries me. The “HSE function” should be more that just collecting data and using it to create pretty graphics etc.  it’s  about the human factors and getting the bods to work safely. The pretty graphics can be used to encourage/threaten/harass people to play the game but only gnowtty git with the clipboard (that’s  the H&S professional to you)  can achieve that with current technology. At some point in the future in theory Artificial Intelligence will exist that will deal with human factors. That’s in theory only since they have replaced “the HSE function” with a purely digital creation they will be in a position to replace everybody in any business with a bit a of software and so we shall all become obsolete.  

Reducing H&S to yes/no binary i.e. "computer says" is a swift route to emploment law issues.

If human beings can't get to grips with mental health what chance does an Intel processor stand let alone the poor employee at the end of the computers conclusion.

Under current regulations there has to be a human capable of reviewing any automated decisions. The more we hand to automation the less we understand with empathy and compassion removed from the workplace.

These are the realms on-line retailers seem to inhabit - no employees merely numbers on a spreadsheet either meeting target or being fired.

Thanks RVT

That looks like four "Reports" from you while I was still asleep and it is taking someone at IOSH a while to delete the Reported threads. 

So a miscreant's offering on this thread still visible but three others gone, so thanks to someone at IOSH.

EDIT to post - today's naughty post in this thread now removed.

Would actually help if postings saying "Reported" were to be removed at the same time, as otherwise it looks as the Report has been made about some entirely appropriate posting previous to that in breach of the Forum Rules.
