Workplace Accidents and Occupational Diseases Module
- Ensure effective monitoring of workplace accidents
- Quickly report your workplace accidents online
The OHS suite for large, demanding organizations that are multi-site, unionized, and regulated. SIGMA-HR centralizes your incident reporting, automates follow-ups, and gives you reliable traceability to reduce risk, demonstrate due diligence, and free your teams from scattered files.
When health and safety is managed through scattered files and spreadsheets, compliance becomes fragile and oversight becomes nearly impossible. A dedicated Occupational Health & Safety suite standardizes key workflows: risk assessments, incident/claim management, prevention programs, and corrective action tracking, and secures traceability, especially for multi-site organizations.
The Goal: a simple, auditable chain from risk assessment → prevention plan → actions completed, along with smoother management of incidents/claims and all related documentation. So you’re ready for inspections at any time.
The result for HR leadership: an OHS picture you can demonstrate, quantify, and defend to the executive team.
“With SIGMA-HR, we have better control over our employees’ exposure to occupational hazards. We also save a lot of time in the administrative management of workplace accident files.”
HR Development Manager Céline R.A report doesn't just document an event. It feeds workers' compensation claim costs, absence and return-to-work tracking, and the employee record.
With SIGMA-HR, OHS is part of a global HR platform, where the same data flows from one module to the next without re-keying. Your OHS records no longer live in isolation: they feed all your HR processes.
Less scattering, fewer copies, a single source of truth.
With predictive analytics, identify where and how to deploy your prevention measures — for a healthier work environment, where the risk is real.
The suite automates your processes and sends you alerts: you stay on top of reporting and appeal deadlines, and you reduce the risk of non-compliance.
Track deadlines, model appeals, and access the required forms. You better manage the costs tied to workplace injuries.
Built into our global HRIS, the OHS software gives you access to relevant data through real-time dashboards. Clear tracking of incidents and prevention, with no scattered files.
The OHS Manager is responsible for preventing risks and accidents that could compromise the safety of employees and subcontractors. They advise and assist the company’s management while implementing an OHS culture that takes into account the improvement of quality of life at work.
Our OHS Suite supports them in this approach by ensuring compliance with regulatory obligations, equipping them to effectively monitor workplace accidents and occupational diseases, and reducing contributions to the Workers Compensation Board. SIGMA-HR facilitates access to and exploitation of data, optimizing high-level analyses and facilitating decision-making. Finally, by enabling the creation of statistics and reports related to the company’s objectives, it contributes to positioning the OHS Manager as a strategic player in the organization.

What is the Purpose of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)?
The goal of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is to ensure a safe and healthy work environment for employees. It aims to prevent workplace accidents and occupational illnesses by identifying, assessing, and controlling work-related risks. OHS includes policies and procedures to minimize risks, training to educate employees on safe practices, and regular monitoring to ensure compliance with safety standards. By promoting employees' physical and mental health, OHS contributes to productivity and job satisfaction, while reducing costs related to accidents and sick leaves.
How to Implement an OHS Program?
To implement an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) program, start by assessing the risks in your work environment. Identify potential hazards and evaluate their severity. Then, develop and implement policies and procedures to control these risks. Train your employees on safety practices and ensure they understand the importance of OHS. Set up a reporting system for incidents and accidents, and regularly review procedures for improvement. Finally, commit to continuous improvement to maintain a safe and healthy work environment.
Who is Responsible for OHS in a Company?
The responsibility for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is shared: the employer ensures a safe environment and complies with regulations. OHS managers, often from the HR or the Environment Health and Safety department, develop and implement safety policies, coordinate prevention, and monitor compliance. Employees must follow safety rules, use protective equipment, and report hazards. Personnel representatives, offering a consultative and control perspective, ensure the respect and adequacy of safety measures
Why do companies move from spreadsheets to an OHS/EHS suite?
Spreadsheets don’t scale: data becomes scattered, responsibilities are unclear, follow-ups are missed, and audit preparation turns into a scramble. An OHS/EHS suite centralizes records, standardizes processes, and gives reliable visibility across sites.
What types of events can we report and track?
Typically: injuries, occupational illnesses, near misses, hazards/observations, and safety incidents—plus all supporting documents and decisions. The goal is to turn reports into prevention actions and measurable improvements.
How does incident reporting and investigation work in practice?
You log the event (key details + attachments), assign owners, investigate, document findings, and track the case through to closure. Strong investigations focus on root causes and lead to corrective actions, not blame.
Does the suite support corrective actions and follow-ups to closure?
Yes. This is where suites outperform “storage tools”: actions are assigned with due dates, reminders/escalations, and status tracking. This prevents actions from stalling and creates a defensible audit trail.
How does the suite help with inspections and audits?
It keeps evidence in one place: full history, documents, decisions, attachments, and completed actions, so you can prove what was done, when, and by whom, quickly. That “audit-ready” traceability is the point.
Can we manage risk assessments and prevention plans?
Yes. Think “risk register / risk assessments + prevention plan”: identify hazards, assess risk, prioritize, assign mitigation actions, and track completion over time. Dashboards help you spot recurring causes and high-risk areas.
How does it work for multi-site organizations?
A good suite standardizes forms, steps, roles, and KPIs across all sites, while still letting each site manage its local action plan. You get consolidated reporting for leadership and operational views for each location.
What dashboards and KPIs should we expect?
Common KPIs include: incident rates, severity, near-miss trends, root causes, overdue actions, high-risk areas, time-to-close, and prevention progress. For multi-site orgs, the key is consistent definitions and consolidated views.
Can Finance track the cost impact of incidents and claims?
Yes. The SIGMA-HR OHS/EHS suites help connect events to cost drivers (lost time, claim costs, recurring incident patterns) and support projections/scenarios so prevention priorities are easier to justify with clearer ROI.
What’s the difference between a basic “safety tool” and a full suite?
A basic tool stores information. A suite drives execution: workflows, reminders, governance, consolidated indicators, and integration with the broader HR/operations ecosystem. So safety management becomes repeatable and measurable.
Can the SIGMA-HR suite integrate with HRIS/ERP and reflect our org structure?
That’s usually a key requirement: syncing sites, departments, job roles, managers, and employee records reduces duplicate entry and enables reporting by site/service/role.
