A
Comprehensive Solution for Compliance
ESH professionals are continuously
challenged to collect and report data
about employees and locations. Unfortunately,
many find themselves maintaining multiple
manual and electronic lists for training,
hiring and transportation requirements.
Managing compliance can thus be an
all-consuming experience that disrupts
operations, unless it becomes a basic
component of the way you do business.
TrueNorth's
Navigator™ system is an Internet
database service that allows clients
to capture, track and proactively
manage compliance events on an ongoing
basis.
A
Service, Not Software
Navigator is not a software package,
or a costly ERP "solution"
requiring money, time and consultants.
It is a database service that provides
a way to manage your firm’s
regulatory record keeping and reporting
responsibilities in a way that reduces
the risks of non-compliance and cuts
the cost of staying in compliance.
Because
TrueNorth’s Navigator service
is Internet-based, it will become
a favorite of your IT department.
No IT support is required beyond Internet
access and a desktop browser. Any
issues with the application or service
are addressed by TrueNorth.
 Using
Meaningful Metrics
Compliance results have conventionally
been presented in terms of losses
and failures, because data associated
with compliance successes—proper
hiring practices, training completeness
and other meaningful metrics—didn’t
exist. With Navigator, ESH managers
can accurately measure, report and
reward the results of their programs.
Our
clients quickly notice an appreciable
improvement in compliance metrics
as their organizations begin to actively
manage compliance at every level.
For these innovators, metrics can
finally be used to drive program performance,
motivate managers and employees, and
inform senior management. They have
also forged healthier relationships
with regulators, stockholders and
customers.
Our
professionals also help clients conduct
cost-benefit analyses directly tied
to compliance program results. Each
analysis considers business development
strategies and variables such as ROI
requirements and medical care expenses.
These analyses dramatically improve
the accuracy of ESH budget forecasting.
Complete
Audits All of the Time
Compliance doesn’t catch our
customers off-guard. They know their
compliance status at any time because
Navigator’s metrics measure
the effectiveness of their efforts
and help them establish goals for
the future. Our innovative service
enables companies to track and audit
performance online, in real time,
for 100% of locations, people and
compliance requirements. Navigator
also provides the equivalent of a
third-party review of every document
it receives and enters.
This
dramatically improves the audit process.
It makes any internal audit team more
efficient, and can even reduce the
number of auditors required. |
How
It Works
Navigator’s artificial intelligence
application automates the key processes
necessary to monitor and manage compliance
tasks previously handled manually.
Our
professionals understand loss prevention.
Our expert system converts customers’
existing ESH program components into
a three-dimensional matrix that produces
meaningful metrics. This system not
only improves compliance with OSHA,
DOT, EPA, EEOC and HIPAA requirements,
it can also manage all of your company-defined
policies and procedures.
A
Paperless System
Navigator’s online documentation
services constitute a paperless record
keeping systems that simplifies file
storage and retrieval, eases document
management and improves reporting
performance.
Navigator
can link a document to an individual
or any level in the organization,
so compliance events related to an
employee, a piece of equipment, a
facility, a group of locations, or
an entire company can be tracked and
reported.
Navigator
Records Archeology enables clients
to meet both internal and external
requirements for records maintenance.
OSHA medical and exposure records
must be maintained for length of employment
plus 30 years. While most clinics
and healthcare facilities will archive
records for only seven years, Navigator
offers storage of records for six
months to 100 years, with authorized
access by designated personnel.
A
Cost-effective Strategy
Unlike expensive, labor-intensive
ERP packages, Navigator’s fees
are based on the number of employees
tracked and the services required.
This allows customers to budget for
the service according to current and
projected involvement levels, and
make adjustments based on evolving
needs.
Improve
Employee Productivity
The Navigator application automates
key processes, so no additional personnel
are needed to make huge strides in
your compliance performance. It also
distills information into action-based
tools that allow non-ESH experts to
drive compliance activities.
Our
process uncovers trends, allowing
clients to concentrate on solving
and preventing problems rather than
trying to find them. It frees ESH
experts to focus on improving compliance
performance by spreading best practices
and guiding programs that aren’t
keeping pace.
Secure,
Safe File Access
Navigator security limits the use
of client records to authorized organizational
purposes. The system allows clients
to define access privileges based
on the viewer and document type. A
supervisor, for example, may be allowed
to see individuals’ training
records but not medical surveillance
data. Clients can extend temporary
security privileges to DOT, OSHA or
other regulatory bodies by requesting
provisional user IDs and passwords.
