Use the Compliance Management module to identify regulations applicable to your organization, manage the inventory of legal and other requirements that pertain to your organization across regions/jurisdictions. This module also allows you to:
Satisfy ISO 14001, OSHAS 18001, ANSI Z10 requirements.
Manage safety and environmental requirements separately.
Manage permits (each requirement could potentially involve many permits).
Facilitate compliance management by creating compliance actions (one-time or recurring).
Actions may be set to automatically escalate to a group or individual; if the finding is also identified as having resulted from a deviation, a deviation event is created for further tracking (see Tracking Deviations).
Use legal or other requirements (such as CSA standards, corporate policies) to build needs assessments by location or area (e.g. training).
Tie legal requirements to various parts of your safety system (e.g. job inventory, inspections).
If you use regAction, you can easily switch between it and Cority to perform tasks in both applications without having to log into each separately:
- When in Cority, in the Environmental menu, click regAction.
- When in regAction, click the Cority link.
Note that these links will open in the same browser tab; if you want to open them in a separate tab, hold down the Ctrl key when you click the link.
