QMS Software for Monogramed Products

6/14/2022

Manufacturers that supply monogramed products to the oil industry must consistently maintain product standards to meet customer and regulatory requirements. As a result, most are required to be certified to a quality management system based on international standards, such as the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) Specification Q1.

The API Spec Q1 standard is complicated to administer throughout an organization, especially in regulated contexts that demand rigorous adherence to quality standards. As a result, many businesses looking to certify their operations turn to Accupoint Software.

Our InterLink™ platform is designed to manage API Spec Q1 standard and related reporting requirements. It provides a formalized framework to document processes, procedures, and responsibilities for accomplishing quality policies and objectives. In addition, it aids in the coordination and direction of activities while continually improving effectiveness and efficiency.

The Advantages of the InterLink Quality Management System

Bridging the Organization - One of the most important functions of the InterLink system is to connect the many divisions within a business. Using a paper based QMS regularly results in lost paper trails, difficult documentation, and an overall lack of quality of communication. All of these issues become non-existent with InterLink. Our web-based quality management software promotes simple communication chains and automatically creates robust paper trails.

Improving and Advancing Data Management - The use of the InterLink system enables real-time management of all collected data. Companies are required to preserve data records to fulfill industry standards and customer requirements.

Expediting Accessibility - Working with a paper-based quality system has the drawback of limited storage and access, which frequently gets violated due to the lack of a recorded record of modifications done and by whom. InterLink makes it simple to retrieve records from anywhere, as long as the person has an internet connection and the applicable access permissions. Storage is a non-issue, because all documentation and records reside in the cloud.

Best Practices for Injury Reporting

3/25/2022

Accurately reporting accidents and injuries play a major role in all safety management systems. It is crucial to implement and establish an injury reporting procedure that includes employee communication and participation across all departments. Encouraging each employee to report injuries or near misses improves workplace safety and the organizational safety culture.

To that end, in today's post we will discuss some best practices related to an effective injury reporting system.

All injuries should be reported to the nearest manager or safety officer. Subsequently, the Manager should determine the next cause of action and treatment options.

When completing the injury report, it is important to accurately describe the injury events in chronological order without downplaying or embellishing the severity of the injury or the events leading to the injury.

Information gathered from individuals who do not have firsthand knowledge or information relating to the injury cannot be used in reporting. The injury report should not contain second or third hand information.

If you are not a trained medical professional, refrain from using diagnostic terms when filling out the injury report. Diagnostic terminology such as sprains, torn ligaments and broken bones should be avoided until after the injured party receives proper medical attention. Descriptions such as “severe pain in lower left leg, individual cannot put pressure onto leg and cannot walk without assistance” can be used in place of “potential broken left leg”.

Take note of details such as weather conditions, time of day, shift period, sublocation, department and specific hazards in the immediate area.

Ensure that any first aid or medical intervention that was provided to the injured party is properly documented.

Deploy a digital injury reporting application. Managers and safety personnel can file reports using a cell phone or tablet to improve data collection and response times.

Remember, injury reporting is an effective tool for minimizing future injures. In addition, it positively influences safety culture and increases employee communication and participation.
