If your organisation is highly regulated, having a robust, easy-to-use legal register can be a godsend. A legal register is simply a list of regularly updated legislation, available for the various jurisdictions your organisation operates in. More often than not, a register is required in order to be compliant with international standards such as ISO 45001, ISO 27001, and ISO 14001, mandating the use of one as part of the certification.

Regardless of whether you are trying to achieve certification or not, it is still highly advisable that you use a legal register. They offer clarity on certain regulations, provide invaluable updates, and even reduce the risk and fees associated with non-compliance.

What are the advantages of using a digital legal register such as Ideagen EHS?

Easily find the legislation you need, without endless scrolling

Ideagen EHS identifies the regulations and legislation that you need to comply with, so that you don’t have to spend hours searching for it yourself. What’s even better is that the system helps decipher which requirements are relevant for your organisation, so you never have to worry about missing something important.

Summarised versions of each legislation makes it simple to understand

One of the main things that our customers rave about is how simple our legal register makes it to understand otherwise complex legislation. Rather than wasting time researching, trying to make sense of a certain requirement, Ideagen EHS provides a comprehensive summary, available at the click of a button.

Establish if there are any gaps in your current compliance

Once the relevant regulations and laws have been discovered, you’ll then be able to see if there are any gaps in your compliance. Perhaps there has been an update in a regulation that you weren’t aware of. Or you find legislation that, at first glance, you didn’t realise applied to your organisation. Ideagen EHS allows you to seamlessly plug those gaps using a colour-coded checklist helping you to visually determine your level of compliance.

Huge time savings thanks to the automatic checklist of actions

Once the system has identified and summarised relevant legislation, it translates this into an actionable checklist, so you can see what needs to be done as a result. Again, this is a massive time saver as it means you don’t have to translate the information you are reading. The actions can be distributed to the relevant people to complete, and the system’s advanced capabilities also lets you attach supporting documentation for visibility.

Managing international compliance with ease

Working with suppliers, vendors, and partners in various jurisdictions can get confusing. Using a digital legal register allows you to keep on top of your compliance, giving you the confidence that your organisation adheres to all laws and regulatory standards around the globe.

Our customers love how easy Ideagen EHS makes it to achieve and maintain compliance, with many stating they simply couldn’t function without it. With over 11,000 happy customers across 6 continents, there’s no reason that you can’t be one too!
