Environment, health and safety software is bought by a safety manager whose real problem is under-reporting. Incidents get recorded; near misses mostly do not, because reporting one is a hassle and occasionally feels like informing on a colleague.
So the demo is about one thing: how little effort it takes to report something from where the work happens.
A demo of this kind, recorded in a few minutes — click through it.
Report a near miss in under a minute
From a phone, outdoors, with a photograph, by someone who has never opened the app before and will not be trained.
If that takes ninety seconds, the safety manager can picture their reporting numbers changing. If it takes a login and six fields, they cannot.
Then show what happens to it
An action assigned to a named person with a date.
An overdue action escalating, because that is the failure that repeats.
A trend surfacing across similar reports, which is the argument for the whole system.
A regulator-ready record, since some incidents are reportable by law.
Contractors are the gap in every safety system
The people most likely to be hurt are frequently not employees, and they will never have an account.
Show how a contractor reports something, or how their induction is recorded, because that gap is what a serious safety manager is checking for.
Frequently asked questions
What should an EHS software demo show?
A near miss reported in under a minute from a phone, outdoors, with a photograph, by someone who has never opened the app and will not be trained. Under-reporting is the safety manager’s real problem, and effort is what causes it.
What comes after the report in a safety demo?
An action assigned to a named person with a date, an overdue action escalating, a trend surfacing across similar reports, and a regulator-ready record. The escalation matters most, because unclosed actions are how incidents repeat.
Why do contractors matter in an EHS demo?
Because the people most likely to be hurt are often not employees and will never have an account. Showing how a contractor reports an issue, or how their induction is recorded, is what an experienced safety manager checks for.
