An instant error free data, that matches with your existing reports and integrates into your software system is what the business requires. For field service workers in energy companies like oil, gas, and utilities, EHS (environment, health and safety) is a massive trepidation.

It is harmful to reply on outdated and risky data collection, storage, and reporting tools, which are predominantly paper based. Field service health and safety reporting has huge potential to benefit from the mobile trend, providing a more efficient, accurate, and most importantly, safer way to conduct health and safety reporting in the field.

The benefits of mobile forms for EHS inspections are endless when compared to paper forms. Mostly, the amount of time spent recording and entering data can be suggestively abridged with mobile forms. With connection to the back office, you'll be able to send data back immediately, and access essential information from the office while offsite. Which includes part numbers or the equipment necessary for a task. Mobile also provides the option to add pictures to record more accurately an EHS issue. Also, offering a way to annotate or draw on the image to bring attention to problem areas.

Mobile forms also provide additional benefits like, to capture signatures when authorization is needed, GPS to help locate job sites or timestamp work completed, and barcode scanners that can scan equipment on site. Robust analytical features, which are now being included to help aggregate large amounts of data and show trends, provide an overarching look at data, and confirm compliance. Ultimately, these features lead to more accurate and timely reporting, better compliance, and a safer environment.

With mobile forms for field service data collection in EHS, the benefits are apparent. These benefits counterweight every risk associated with traditional, legacy methods of data collection in the field, not to mention mitigating even greater environmental and safety disasters.
