ARM brings Health, Safety & Environmental risk into a common system together with other related risk areas such as project, operational and asset risks. ARM also holds information on hazards, accidents and near misses linking these to the related risks. In this way ARM is the system which delivers the holistic picture of the risk situation across the whole business.
ARM can be implemented to cover projects, programs or enterprise-wide. Again this single system approach brings H, S & E risks together with related areas such as insurance management and reputational risk.
In industries like mining, infrastructure and construction these H, S and E risks can have major reputation and revenue impacts and so need to be embedded at the heart of strategic decision making. Beyond this, corporate manslaughter legislation responsibilities, which can see an individual held responsible for a fatality, can only be addressed by a system which can show why decisions were taken with a full audit trail and related documentation.
H,S & E risks which do happen can be used to inform the assessments of future risk and to put in place appropriate and cost-effective mitigation strategies, such as insurance and improved workplace training. ARM’s Knowledge Base can be used to share best practice across the business so that good ideas and proven actions can benefit all.
