Remember, your aim is not simply to lower accident counts, but to achieve
total prevention. By seamlessly integrating your data, your processes, and
your people, you guarantee better safety for your workforce while simultane-
ously decreasing their stress. Just as importantly, because you can comply
more easily with both current and forthcoming employee health and safety
laws and policies, you create deeper public trust. You also save substantially
on healthcare costs to boot.
Taking the SAP Approach to Employee Health and Safety .....................
SAP offers enterprise-class software to help companies organize and control
their efforts around employee health and safety through two modules of SAP
EH&S: Occupational Health and Industrial Hygiene and Safety.
The Occupational Health module ....................................................
The functionality included in the Occupational Health module streamlines
and improves the standard processes required to manage the well-being of
your company’s employees. In addition, it helps forge the way for implement-
ing a full-scale healthcare management program throughout your enterprise,
all of whose processes protect data, uphold medical confidentiality, and con-
sider current legal requirements.
The Occupational Health module offers the following advantages:
Automatic assignment of protocols based on actual employee exposure
and tasks
Automatic monitoring of protocol frequencies
Elimination of superfluous examinations, which saves time and money
for your occupational health department, your employees, and your
company as a whole
Access to all relevant industrial hygiene and safety information
Active participation of the occupational health department in risk
assessments, site inspections, and decisions to release hazardous sub-
stances and materials for public and private use
Minimization or elimination of the need to edit HR data
Appointment scheduling based on current time management data
Documentation of all processes in compliance with current law
