Business leaders can struggle to quantify the less obvious challenges their workers face, such as psychosocial risk. While mental health isn’t visible, that doesn’t mean it’s not there. In fact, 17% of workplace harm is accredited to mental health. Even though mental health in the workplace is becoming less “taboo,” we know it’s still systematically underreported, so we should assume that in reality the prevalence is much larger.
Health & Safety protocols have transformed how we operate. Implementing these standards has not only reduced accidents on-site but also boosted team morale, knowing that their well-being is a top priority.
The risky business of relying on paper-based systems
While paper-based systems appear to save money, they can actually cost bigger bucks in the long run by ushering in risks that directly hinder a company's efficiency and safety compliance.
Paper-based systems can lead to inconsistencies, especially when individual sites use different versions of documents. In the case of paperwork, less is more, because the more paperwork you have, the more room created for mistakes that may go unnoticed.
This is an issue that became apparent to print and communications giant Bluestar in the quality management processes for their luxury visual outputs.
Paper-based systems can take a lot of time and often can’t keep up with the demand of large companies. “It was all paper-based, a four-page document that someone had to fill in.” QHSE Coordinator Carmorita Roebeck said of their pre-digital system.

To maintain perfection for such a large customer base, a robust quality management system to streamline processes and maintain efficiency was required to keep up with Bluestar’s growth. The new rigorous digital quality management system not only nurtures a system of accuracy and care, but helps create more efficient workflows for individual team members. A clear sign that workflows have advanced is the increase in staff engagement. “If I talk to our teams, they’re all engaged.” Bluestar CEO Jill Cowling reported.
What’s more, outdated or irrelevant documents can waste your workers valuable time and encourage them to avoid documenting important information, because it simply takes too long.
Incorrect or incomplete paperwork brings a number of serious risks out of the woodwork, including evidence of a lack of due diligence, which can have real legal consequences and put not just the individual, but the entire company at financial risk
