There are various ways to report safety incidents, from paper, email, digital forms and software. It’s not uncommon for organizations to have different solutions in place at the same time for their safety incident management.
However, this often leads to fragmented solutions which create information silos. This risks information getting lost and becoming difficult to manage. Especially if your organization is complex and operates across different sites.
If that’s an issue you’re currently experiencing, you’re not alone. Verdantix’s global survey showed that 50% of all interviewed EHS managers carry out their EHS workflows over more than six separate systems.
That doesn’t need to be the case though. Did you know you can use Microsoft 365 to report and manage safety incidents?
Pro-Sapien’s Incident Management Software integrates seamlessly on Microsoft 365. You can report and manage safety incidents all from there, on everyday apps such as Microsoft Teams.
Let’s see how it works and whether it’s the right choice for your organization.
How does it look to report and manage safety incidents on Microsoft 365?
Once Pro-Sapien’s software is implemented, all you need to do is open Microsoft 365 in the morning. This is most likely Microsoft Teams when you start the day.
You don’t need to log into a separate system to access your safety incident management – audits, inspections, and observations are all located as channels on Microsoft Teams.
If an incident happens at your organization, your employees can simply track it on Microsoft Teams. Whether that is on their mobile app or on their desktop.
You will get a notification and you can review the incident and assign actions to address root causes.
You can even view and measure KPIs from the Microsoft Teams interface. Pro-Sapien lets you leverage Microsoft’s Power BI to track EHS performance enterprise-wide and embeds the reports to a Teams channel.

Do you need software to have safety incident management on Microsoft 365?
It’s not impossible to create a safety incident management system on Microsoft 365 internally. However, especially large complex organizations struggle to build a system for their scale on their own.
Self-built solutions demand a lot from the internal IT team and need continuous support from them. This becomes tricky once the developer who created the infrastructure of the system leaves the business. Find out more about the buy vs. build debate and what’s best for your EHS solution.
