TIRA version 2.00.03
Improvement to the Risk Assessment List forms has been made to capture Risk Assessment that may not have had all core data entered on initial creation of the record.
Example: You start to create a DSE risk assessment, you enter the unique reference number and perhaps the location but for some reason you close the record before entering the user's name (maybe to check you have the correct spelling for the individuals name). Previously, you would have needed all three of these core pieces of information before the record would appear in the search list box (although the filter form would have found the record). The list boxes will now show data provided at least one piece of core data has been entered.
This applies to all Risk Modules.

On Safe Lines Update
On Safe Lines Update
For those user that have downloaded TIRA I hope you are enjoying this free version. I probably put too much into this version, but there you are, it is done now. Once you get some meaningful data into TIRA you will begin to understand just how powerful the program is, and how easy it can make the managing of your health and safety risk assessments and thereafter the monitoring remedial actions. Whilst work on TIRA Pro will begin shortly I have desided (rightly or wrongly) to complete the design and development of a project called SMART. (details below)
Back in the old days, when I was a QHSE Manager for a medium sized engineering company, for my sins I was also responsible for Plant services, Facilities and Administration support. Being in charge of administration gave me an understanding of company sickness and monitoring procedures. I am now finalising the development of an application to assist Administration / HR departments in managing this process.
Therefore the next project to be released by On Safe Lines is to be called SMART, this stands for Sickness Monitoring and Recurring Trends. This application will allow all aspects of employees sickness records to be monitored and allow in-depth trend analysis on current (52 weeks) and long-term historical sickness records and patterns.
More details can be found on the On Safe Lines update page On Safe Lines News
Whilst this application may not be your area of responsibility, your administration department may find it very useful.
STAMP is expected to be released in 2 to 3 months time, if you wish to register your interest please type 'Register me for SMART updates' in the On Safe Lines automated e-mail service. Contact OSL
