How Pen and Paper Are Failing Your Company

Despite the growing possibilities of today’s world, it is still common in many industries to conduct inspections by hand using paper forms, creating reports from them, and then archiving everything in folders. The entire production system must be fully documented and checked for proper function. For later verifiability, the checks must be carried out correctly and completely.

Generally, paper audits are unreliable. Because they are not streamlined, digitally scheduled, or stored safely in the cloud once complete, there is so much room for error in a process that is unforgiving when done incorrectly. New employees especially have a hard time doing all checks correctly from the beginning, and in some industries, they are often the ones responsible for simple daily audits. Creating a report from paper-based data can take several hours, and using this report to perform analyses can become tricky if the penmanship is poor, the document is incorrectly filed and lost, or the papers are accidentally destroyed. That’s why risk assessment software is vital for the safety and quality of your company.

Conducting Risk Assessments With Lumiform

Through a risk assessment, hazards within your company and their control measures are thoroughly evaluated. In addition to meeting legal requirements, the main purpose of a risk assessment is to ensure the highest possible level of safety for a product, service, person, or workplace. To make this process more efficient, it quickly became apparent that risk assessment software is a must for not only speed but accuracy. In this way, management can redesign the end-to-end processes of the risk assessment program with the click of a button versus the rewriting of several paper documents. Lumiform’s Risk Assessment App contributes positively to factors like organization, safety, and efficiency. Here are four industries that have integrated our risk assessment tool into their daily workflow and therefore improved their respective processes:

1. Construction

Construction sites face multiple hazards in daily operations, from slips and falls to electrocutions and being caught between equipment. The number of fatal workplace accidents in this industry is twice that of other industries. It’s no wonder that Lumiform’s Risk Assessment App has been utilized to improve safety levels on construction sites. The construction industry uses risk assessment programs to perform specific analyses, such as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), plant-level hazards, flood hazards, noise hazards, manual control elements, and environmental hazards.




Workers like yourself have the ability to take action by using their own mobile devices to take photos of identified hazards and report them immediately to their supervisors. Our digital tool helps construction teams foster a safety culture that leads to fewer injuries on the job. It also enables safety officers to quickly respond to reported hazards in-app, a potentially life-saving action.



2. Healthcare

With nearly 100,000 deaths per year caused by medical negligence, adherence to regulations and standards has become a top concern in the healthcare industry. There are numerous and varied regulations that healthcare facilities and institutions must legally adhere to. Our easy-to-use Risk Assessment App is a smart and proven way to improve compliance.




By converting your paper risk assessment forms into digital forms, paperwork is majorly reduced. The convenience of the in-app camera functions means you can take photos and add digital notes when deviations are observed. The app gives healthcare professionals the ability to focus on their patients or other field-related tasks by providing them with automatically generated reports that they can instantly send to their management.



3. Manufacturing

Manufacturers in various industries face a multitude of work-related threats. There are food and water contamination in food manufacturing, poor product quality in automotive manufacturing, and equipment and environmental risks in factories. To aid in this issue, Lumiform helps to improve their risk assessment procedures and ensure safety for all workers and the products they manufacture through the completion of thorough safety and risk inspections.




The app enables users to easily retrieve old records for submission during certification audits. It also means production managers can assign corrective actions to the right person in real-time via email or push notifications.



4. Chemistry

Risk Assessment Checklists (e.g., Material Safety Data Sheets, Chemical Risk Analyses, PAAG) provide you with the baseline for regulatory control of substances such as industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and pesticides. Lumiform’s user-friendly app provides chemists with a complete digital solution to help them properly assess the risk of a hazardous chemical and effectively protect workers and the environment from exposure.




Safety managers can conduct risk assessments online or offline, whenever they need. The app provides access to detailed analysis reports that can list multiple scenarios for a variety of deviations. Users like yourself are granted secure cloud storage for past assessment logs, which can be easily retrieved to demonstrate regulatory compliance.
