If you have an iPhone, and iPad or an Android device, you are by now well aware of the number of apps that you can download to do everything from using your device to make sure something is level [1] to playing angry birds.
As a safety officer, your boss probably won’t be overjoyed to see you using the later app during business hours and he might rethink letting you even have your mobile device at all. Instead, you can show him how necessary you iPhone really is when you use it to make your job easier and more automated.
I’ve sent you over to Dave Weber’s site before and I’m going to do so again. Today I want to send you to his Safety Apps page [2] where you’ll find a nice list of apps that you can download for your iPhone, and iPad or Android device.
Here are a few that I’ve copied from that page to whet your appetite and get you to go visit and download some of the apps that he’s linking to:
SafetyNet â€" The SafetyNet app from Predictive Solutions allows customers to predict, and ultimately prevent, workplace injuries. First, the app allows customers to conduct inspections and collect workplace safety observations from their job sites. Next, the app synchs these observations with the SafetyNet web application where advanced and predictive analytics are performed on the data. The SafetyNet predictive analytics helps customers identify where they are most likely to have a safety incident or injury, and then report and communicate that information to their work teams and management.¹

Key chemical safety management information including Hazards and GHS Classifications, Risk and Safety Phrases, First Aid information and recommended Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is now be available at your fingertips.¹

I just listed 7 of the more than 40 apps that he lists on his apps page so head over there and show your boss that the money he is spending for your mobile device is money well spent… if he isn’t paying for your mobile device this might be a great way to convince him that you should be able to expense it! Thanks Dave Weber!
