Size, Complexity of Electrical Utility Organizations Test Compliance

Electrical utility organizations are often faced with large and complex organizational structures. Consequently, they experience enormous challenges in the areas of data collection, data management, information processing and dissemination.

The Integrated Compliance Management System from Beyond Compliance helps utility companies collect, manage, analyze and disseminate operational, health and safety compliance information electronically at all levels of the organization. The ICMS architecture provides system clients with their own user-specific view of information based on their requirements. ICMS automates the workflow, communication and reporting of information – allowing personnel to focus on the value-added work for which they are trained and responsible.

Features of ICMS that apply directly to the electrical utility industry include:

Field Data Management System™ (FDMS) – Audits have become a central feature of standard compliance in corporate safety and many other contexts such as accounting, operations and quality control. The ICMS audit generator can make client specific audits or inspections (operational, health, safety, environmental) available in electronic form on a PDA, laptop, or PC within days. The electronic tools can be used in a connected or disconnected state and are linked to the ICMS workflow and reporting tools.
E-Reporting – customized reports can assist authorized users at all levels of the organization by providing near real time compliance related information on demand.
SkillsTrak™ – assesses and manages worker (employee or contractor) competency to ensure all critical health and safety requirements are addressed.
Workplace Incident Tracking System® (WITS) – manages the entire incident life cycle from reporting through to investigation and root cause analysis. It includes such features as:

Automatic e-mail notifications
Prioritized corrective actions based on severity
Links to organizational structure for effective Emergency Response Planning, and
Electronic reporting to regulators.

Corrective Action Plan™/Corrective Action Register® – for automatic identification of non-compliant items. Corrective measures can be automatically prioritized, notified and assigned based on severity.

Unlike many enterprise systems, ICMS can be deployed quickly across an organization, often in a matter of weeks.

Beyond Compliance Inc. can help your utitlites company do the right thing… and do it simply.
