Sherm by industry
HSEQ Management Software for Engineering & Technical Services
Connect technical expertise with operational assurance.
Engineering and technical organisations depend on capable people, controlled information and effective project delivery.
Intelligent operational guidance with defensible oversight.
But as projects, clients, contractors and technical requirements increase, HSEQ information can quickly become fragmented across project folders, spreadsheets, emails and separate business systems.
Sherm brings your people, projects, risk, competency, controlled documents, contractors and HSEQ activities together in one connected operational environment — providing structure without creating unnecessary administration around technical work.
HSEQ Management That Supports the Way Technical Work Is Delivered
Engineering and technical businesses often operate across multiple projects, clients and work environments.
People may move between design offices, workshops, client locations, commissioning activities and field work. Contractors and specialists may contribute to delivery as technical information and competency requirements change.
The challenge is maintaining the connection between technical work, operational risk and organisational oversight. Sherm provides a connected HSEQ environment around the work without trying to become the engineering system itself.

Connect Projects, People and HSEQ Responsibility
Engineering businesses are often project-driven, but HSEQ responsibility exists across projects rather than neatly within individual project folders.
Sherm can be configured around organisational structures, locations, departments, projects, positions and people, helping establish clearer connections between operational activity and organisational oversight.
Project-level responsibility. Organisation-wide visibility.
Competency Is More Than a Training Record
Technical organisations rely heavily on knowing that people have the qualifications, training, licences, experience and competency relevant to the work they perform.
Sherm's Training & Competency capabilities provide a structured environment for maintaining this information and improving visibility across the workforce.
Position and responsibility information can help provide organisational context, while MyCAT gives individuals access to relevant training and competency information.
The result is greater visibility of the capability supporting your operations, beyond another training register.
Keep Controlled Information Connected to the People Who Need It
Engineering and technical businesses depend heavily on information control.
Policies, procedures, technical instructions, project requirements, forms and supporting HSEQ information may change as operations, clients and requirements evolve.
Sherm's Documentation capability provides a controlled environment for managing HSEQ documentation, including revision control, distribution and acknowledgement where required.
That helps organisations move away from situations where different versions of important information are distributed across shared drives, inboxes and local project folders.

Explore document managementFrom Risk Identification to Organisational Assurance
Connected information makes it easier to understand not only what was identified, but what happened next.
Identify
A project, activity, audit or operational process identifies risk, an issue or requirement.
Assess
The appropriate people review the information and determine what needs to occur.
Assign
Responsibility and required actions are established.
Verify
Progress, completion and supporting evidence are recorded.
Oversee
Management gains visibility across projects and operational activities.
Support Contractor and Specialist Service Management
Engineering projects frequently rely on contractors, specialist consultants, suppliers and other external organisations.
Sherm provides a structured environment for maintaining contractor and supplier information and associated HSEQ records alongside other operational information.
Keep contractor information connected to the broader HSEQ environment rather than isolated in another spreadsheet or folder.
Relevant regulatory guidance can also be made accessible through Sherm Resources.
Explore contractor and supplier managementManage Physical and Psychosocial Risk
Technical and professional work can involve both traditional operational hazards and risks arising from how work is designed and managed.
Sherm's risk and HSEQ capabilities can provide a structured environment for organisations to record hazards, assess risks, establish actions and maintain evidence of their management processes.
Relevant guidance — including psychosocial risk resources — can also be made available through Sherm Resources.
Your organisation identifies and manages the risks; Sherm supports its assessment, action and record-keeping processes.
Explore risk managementMake Authoritative Guidance Easier to Find
Engineering and technical organisations may need to work with legislation, Codes of Practice, regulator guidance, Standards and client-specific requirements.
Sherm Resources can provide users with access to authoritative information selected by the organisation alongside the HSEQ system they use for day-to-day activities.
Explore Sherm ResourcesBuilt for Project-Based and Multi-Site Operations
Engineering organisations may work across offices, client premises, workshops, project sites, regions or countries.
Sherm can be configured around the organisation's structure while maintaining one connected HSEQ environment.
This supports local responsibility, project visibility, consistent organisational processes and central HSEQ oversight without making each project another disconnected information silo.

More Than Safety Software for Engineers
Sherm is not engineering design software, project scheduling software or a technical document-authoring system.
It is an integrated Health, Safety, Environment and Quality management platform that can sit alongside those systems and provide the operational structure needed to manage HSEQ information.
Keep your technical systems focused on technical work. Use Sherm to connect the HSEQ information surrounding how that work is delivered.
