User-friendly interface
Most users are not interested in the fine detail of asbestos management. They are concerned only with knowing where a hazard is and how it should be treated. AIMS.net is web based and gives users a familiar interface where all key information is presented on a single screen. This means that the information is easily accessed and understood by those who may not be regular computer users.
Where users do not require full read write access to data a simplified read only interface gives them only the information they require to carry out their work safely. This approach makes the information easy to understand regardless of a user’s position within an organisation.
Web Platform
AIMS.net is web based and can be installed to allow access from any PC with a suitable web browser. This not only massively reduces the support and training requirement it gives unparalleled access for remote users. Given appropriate permissions access can be given to staff on site and those working from home and even to contractors engaged in term maintenance or projects works.
Powerful document management facility
Documents such as floorplans, survey photographs, sample analysis records, clearance certificates and transfer notes can be recorded in the most appropriate location depending upon whether they relate to a site, a building, a room, a survey location, a sample point or a removal. This means that key documentation can be found quickly and easily.
Comprehensive building register
AIMS features a comprehensive building register together with a robust yet flexible convention for identifying locations and sub locations within a building or plant. This should include EVERY area within a building e.g. offices, rooms, lift shafts, voids and plant rooms. This convention is vital if hazards are to be located by individuals whose knowledge of the building or plant may be limited. The use of such conventions removes the reliance on marked up layout drawings.
Survey, sample and analysis recording
Every aspect of the survey, sampling and analysis process can be recorded. In addition air sampling, removals, re-inspection periods and repair works are also logged to form an accurate picture of the condition and history of each hazard. A sample number allocation system is put in place to prevent any confusion regarding the identification and location of sample points.
In addition facilities for recording removal and remedial works together with any air testing is also provided.
Hazard assessment module
Based on MDHS 100 the hazard assessment module allows risks to be evaluated quickly and consistently. The AIMS.net package is designed so as to allow outline assessments to be performed and to allow your budgets to be directed at the most important buildings and plant.
Comprehensive reporting module
The key to any management system is the ease with which information can be extracted. AIMS.net allows information about the hazards to be extracted in an easily understood format but also emphasises the financial and planning aspects of asbestos management.
Robust audit trails
The user security used in the AIMS.net software provides a robust audit trail of when and by whom information was entered, edited or accessed. The use of email notification and the action-tracking module provide rigorous assurance processes for compliance and budgetary control.
