Extranets are transforming the way organisations conduct business over the Internet.

Rather than using conventional methods to exchange health and safety information, companies can now leverage their investments in Internet technology and use an extranet to exchange information and share applications across their business.

It is basically a closed network or website set up for use by specific individuals or organisations rather than being open to anyone on the web.

Password protection and special permissions accounts allow access only to those authorised to view the site's contents - with differing levels of access and features available for each user.

An extranet hosting your Health & Safety Management System provides ease of access with the trawl through robust yet busy client intranets.

Employee extranets can be used to empower people with controlled access to your business systems. This can quickly reduce your overheads, with less calls, less enquiries, less returns, more sales etc.

With password-protection this provides many benefits to your company and are ideal for formalising and sharing your knowledge base, thus maximising the efficiency and effectiveness of your support staff. This also allows staff to access information from home or when they are off site by doing nothing more than logging on to the web.

With continuous reviews by professionally qualified and competent practitioners, your health and safety systems are continuously updated to ensure the latest good practices and legislative requirements are included without you having to add this to your “to do” list.

Many companies still distribute and share their corporate information by using vast quantities of paper to create reports that very often don't get read or rapidly become obsolete.

The knowledge-based system is not properly organised with the risk that the absence of key members of staff can play havoc with their business.

A simple yet robust communication and control system at your fingertips.
