5 Safety Mistakes You Can Fix Inside Business Central

If you’re tracking safety incidents in spreadsheets, sending training reminders by email, or scrambling to prep for audits, you’re not alone. For many teams using Business Central, safety workflows still live outside the system—leading to missed records, late follow-ups, and unnecessary risk.

Here are five common safety mistakes and how teams are solving them using tools built to work right inside Business Central.

Do follow-ups get lost after an incident?

A lot of safety actions are verbal—“We’ll fix it later”—and then forgotten. Safety Logbook helps teams assign follow-up tasks directly from the incident log, track completion, and ensure nothing slips through the cracks. It replaces post-its and inbox reminders with structured accountability.

How do you stay on top of expiring certifications in Business Central?

When training and certification records live in separate spreadsheets or HR folders, it’s easy to miss renewal dates. With Safety Logbook, you can track certifications by employee, enter expiration dates, and filter by training type or timeline—so no one operates equipment without valid credentials.

Is your safety data scattered across departments?

HR has the training records. Operations logs the incidents. Safety meetings are in someone’s inbox. This kind of fragmentation leads to duplication and makes it hard to spot trends. With Safety Logbook, you bring all EHS activities—incidents, meetings, training, follow-ups—into one place inside Business Central.

Are you scrambling every time an audit comes up?

When an audit is due, digging through folders and chasing down old logs wastes hours. Safety Logbook keeps everything in a consistent format and ready for review. You can filter by date, employee, or incident type, and export a full compliance report in seconds.
