Why use a waste management application?
Businesses of all kinds generate waste as a byproduct of their operations. Said waste can be a health or environmental hazard, make it more difficult to work efficiently, and occasionally cause legal issues. Use a waste management application to easily track, reduce, and safely dispose of business waste.
Use Lumiform’s waste management app to:
- Comply with applicable regulations
- Ensure safety in the workplace
- Continuously improve processes to reduce waste
- Maximize productivity
Meet regulatory requirements with a waste management application
Different kinds of business waste are subject to different regulations. For example, food waste disposal needs to be handled differently than chemical waste or construction site waste does. Food waste software allows you to track the waste your business generates and ensure visibility throughout handling.
No matter whether you’re concerned with environmental regulations, safety hazards, or unused materials, a waste management application helps you assess and contain the amount of waste you’re generating. It allows you to audit your organization according to different regulatory requirements, like OSHA waste removal guidelines, and establish a compliant schedule.
Keep workers safe using a waste management application
Often, the waste you generate poses a health hazard to employees. Certain chemicals can cause burns, irritation, and trouble breathing, or debris from a construction project can become a tripping hazard. There are several types of waste that OSHA considers potentially dangerous to workers.
Waste management apps, by giving you a simple way of recording business waste as it’s observed, help you stay proactive about workplace safety. Consistent recording is key to effective hazard communication and removal.
Produce less waste thanks to your waste management application
Every time you record an instance of waste in your business, Lumiform saves the data in the cloud. From there, you’ll receive regular reports summarizing these findings automatically. These give you an overview of areas in your business that are producing the most waste, helping you narrow your focus.
When you know what accounts for waste generation, you’re able to design solutions. Depending on the problems you identify, the solution might be as simple as using different, more sustainable materials, or it might be to alter your manufacturing process. Another way that waste management applications reduce waste in your business is by introducing consistent procedures that standardize the management process.
Maximize productivity and profits with waste management applications
Lowering the frequency of business waste you generate, or at least getting rid of it in a more structured way, leads to increased productivity. The automatic and consistent documentation generated when you use waste management software helps you optimize processes and remove steps that don’t contribute to the final product. That saves time and allows employees to produce more effectively.
Another reason waste management apps help workplaces function is that safer workplaces are more productive. People naturally work better and are more focused when they aren’t worried about threats to their well-being. Consistently addressing waste means fewer workplace incidents as well.
