BCFSC FIRS App

The Forest Industry Reporting System  - aka FIRS App - is a FREE forms management mobile application currently under development by EHS  Analytics to help streamline and reduce the amount of safety-related paperwork and administrative work required in the field.

The full scope of the FIRS App will be available in 2024 and will provide BCFSC Members access to online forms to document their in-field activities using their iOS or Android mobile device(s) and help small employers build and maintain their SAFE Company Certification.

The FIRS App will allow users to fill out and manage forms using their mobile device. Information can be entered into the App forms even if the device is offline. The information will be automatically submitted once the device is back online.

The key features under development are:

  • Auto storage of SAFE Companies forms for record keeping and to support SAFE Companies audit documentation requirements
  • Store company Safe Work Procedures so workers can access in field (available on and offline)
  • Submit the records/reports to clients/stakeholders (only if wanted!)
  • Available on IOS and Android devices
  • Automated work flows to help manage work
  • System generated notifications
  • Talk to text enabled to reduce typing
