Built one part at a time. It turned into a system.
PraxysEHS is built by safety professionals who got tired of software that does one thing well and three things badly. So we built each part to do its own job well. Then we noticed every part was asking the same question.
We've sat through the demo.
You probably know how it goes. The company buys the all-in-one safety system. It's good at one thing. The other three things it was bought for end up in a spreadsheet saved next to it, because the system is “the system of record,” and the spreadsheet is where the work actually gets done.
The people behind PraxysEHS spent years on that side of the screen: running safety programs, sitting through the demos, building the workarounds. At some point we stopped waiting for the big system to get better and started building the small ones ourselves.
One part at a time, as if it were the only one.
Every PraxysEHS part starts with a single job, such as finding out why an incident really happened, or getting contractors to the site with the right paperwork and the right training. Then we build that part as if no other part existed: no features added to fill out a comparison chart, and nothing that makes you buy three things to use one.
That's the bar. If a part can't do its one job better than the way you're doing it today, it isn't finished.
Somewhere around the fifth tool, we noticed something. Every one of them was asking the same question: what does the work demand of the people doing it? That's human factors, and it's what holds the system together.
- Start with the part you need. Every part that's open now has its own free trial.
- Your records are yours. Download everything any time, with no export fee.
- We don't sell your data. Full stop.
Focused tools add up. (We did say eventually.)
A while back, on this very page, we hinted that tools that are each good at their job tend to get along. They did. Put enough of them in the same room and you have a safety management system: one built on human factors, from the safety walk to the investigation to the numbers your leaders see.
We still didn't build another all-in-one system with an 18-month rollout and a training binder thicker than your safety manual. Each part is plain enough for your first week, and you switch on only what you need. 😉
The plan hasn't changed: one part at a time, each one built right. They're just moving in together now.
Built by people who've been there.
Decades on the job, quietly figuring out better ways to get the work done. Well, quietly for most of us…
PraxysEHS is built by a small group of safety, health and environmental professionals. Most of us would rather do the work than talk about it, which is why you won't find our names here. We'd rather you judge the tools than our headshots.
The exception is our partner, Blaine J. Hoffmann, MS OSHM: the one of us ambitious enough to have hosted the leading workplace safety and health podcast, The SafetyPro Podcast, since 2014. Somewhere in there he also put in three decades in EHS and wrote two books. He works with us on every tool and puts each one through its paces before it reaches you.
And before your IT team asks: yes, the tech side is covered too. We've got it locked down.
