HSE describes a corporate management system that combines occupational safety, health protection, and environmental protection. The goal of the system is to prevent accidents, comply with legal regulations, and operate sustainably. To achieve this, access requirements, certificates, certificates of competence, etc., must be managed and monitored; this is essential, particularly in safety-critical environments such as offshore/onshore wind farms or hazardous material handling.
In GS-Service, all relevant information on qualifications and certifications is recorded centrally, managed dynamically, and made available for operational business. Equipment and gear (current safety inspection status) are also taken into account in the GS application.
GreenGate provides a standard solution for mapping digital safety management in GS-Service. The digital safety management – always available anywhere via GS-Service desktop and mobile applications – is based, among other things, on a systematic directory of employee qualifications and certifications. This is a prerequisite for maintenance activities in every industrial sector and public institution, but especially in safety-critical environments such as offshore/onshore wind farms or hazardous material handling in special waste disposal, and in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
GreenGate has developed a proven blueprint: To manage a large number of specialists recorded as personnel objects in GS, a feature was implemented to immediately identify whether an employee to be scheduled possesses all necessary certificates.
The HSE (Health Safety Environment) or PtE (Permit to Enter) process for monitoring specific certificates originally comes from the offshore sector, where it regulates the permission to work in the wind farm.
Going out to sea or entering facilities requires various certificates that expire at different intervals.
To schedule a large number of registered specialists, GS-Service provides the ability to check and manage the necessary employee certificates. The software achieves this with the Permit Tool.
Windows Task Scheduler can integrate the tool. It checks date property fields for their currentness. The date in these fields indicates how long a specific certificate (e.g., “First Aid”) is valid.
If such a certificate is no longer valid, the respective personnel object – or equipment object – is highlighted in color in the scheduling view. If desired, a notification email is generated. Here, the GS-MessageService is used to send reminder emails when certificates expire.
The Permit Tool also includes equipment, especially if it is safety-relevant, such as safety harnesses. They are only available if they have passed a current safety inspection.
