The effort required to meet legislative Work Health & Safety (WHS) requirements (with traditional paper based policies, procedures and management systems) can become problematic and time consuming. Smart businesses therefore seek ways to simplify workplace safety and minimise the time required to manage their WHS related processes. At ABILITY GROUP we believe businesses should spend time constructively working towards workplace safety rather than wasting time unnecessarily managing these processes. The use of an online WHS system with integrated reminders can streamline processes and allow businesses to focus on their core business activities.
