Partnership brings paperless, robust Health and Safety program to OPTTA members
March 1, 2022 Newburgh, ON – Ontario Petroleum Transporters & Technicians Association (OPTTA) is pleased to announce a partnership with Univerus Health and Safety Inc. for the shared use of their Health and Safety software program. As a centralized resource, OPTTA members will have access to the Health and Safety management and reporting software through an affordable pricing model.
“We are excited to be able to bring both health and safety tools and program content to our members” said Jim Wood, OPTTA CEO. “This is a real step forward in delivering world class Health and Safety to our industry.”
The Management Software is robust and covers all leading and lagging activities that support progressive health and safety programs. OPTTA members will have access to; Training Trackers, Incident Reporting, Inspections, Corrective Actions, Risk Assessments, Equipment, Safety Meetings, Job Plans and Work Observations among others. It provides a single access point for Health and Safety activities and critical reporting.
“We’re very happy to be working with the OPTTA,” said Jason Woodrow, Executive VP at Univerus. “It is the perfect application for organizations that don’t necessarily have resources in-house for a full-time Health and Safety Officer. Between Jim’s knowledge and the Management software, OPTTA members will have access to the tools and expertise they need to manage Health and Safety confidently.”
The program features Mobile applications that are extremely useful for remote work, and ideal for use during incident reporting, site inspections, and workplace observation.
The Management software fits well with the Association’s collaborative model as it provides OPTTA staff with an overview of the Health & Safety activities within their member group.
“Members will be able to take advantage of the OPTTA program, or they can implement their own program.” said Wood. “This brings great value to our members, giving visibility into critical health and safety metrics at a fraction of the cost of hiring a fulltime employee.”
