Two features that make it a useful safety management tool to consider are their health & safety and training management modules.

They also have a welfare tab where users can tag employees who may need extra assistance in the workplace, such as lone workers (those who work by themselves), young workers (those under age 18), or pregnant workers or returning mothers (who may have physical restrictions in what work tasks they can complete).
