This is Blue Water Shipping's (BWS) app for the reporting of safety and quality. The app is a customized and branded version of the original app "HSEQ Free", developed by Mellora AS in Norway, a tool to help us become even better! The app is connected to HSEQ Reports, an online database where we are able to get statistics and see trends over time. We at BWS believe in the KIS-principle. Keep It Simple. Too many organizations make their safety reporting systems way too complicated, resulting in lack of reporting and just a lot of bureaucratic mess. The app and database is designed to be easy to use and without all not necessary features and buttons. However, the app and database fullfils all our safety and quality reporting requirements and we consider the improvement possibilities when introducing it in our company and for our clients and suppliers to be huge. To be able to use the app you will need a username and password. Please contact your contact person in BWS to receive one.
