Sherm by industry
HSEQ Management Software for Manufacturing & Industrial Operations
Connect people, plant, quality and operational risk.
Manufacturing environments bring people, plant, materials, procedures and production processes together every day.
Intelligent operational guidance with defensible oversight.
When something changes — equipment, people, materials, processes or production demands — the HSEQ information surrounding those operations needs to keep pace.
Sherm connects risk, incidents, issues, inspections, plant, controlled documents, training and competency, audits and corrective actions within one HSEQ environment, helping operational teams manage what is happening on the floor while giving management greater visibility across the business.
HSEQ Management Has to Work Alongside Production
Manufacturing businesses need to manage production alongside capable people, reliable equipment, controlled processes and consistent outcomes.
Hazards can arise from plant, machinery, hazardous substances, manual tasks, noise, energy sources, maintenance and interactions between people and equipment. Quality issues, inspection findings, incidents and operational changes also create actions that require follow-up.
Sherm helps connect people, plant, process, risk, quality, competency and actions within one HSEQ environment around production.

Connect People, Plant and Process
Manufacturing risk rarely exists in isolation.
A change to equipment can affect procedures. A new process can introduce different hazards. A worker may require additional competency. An inspection may identify a deficiency. An incident may lead to investigation and corrective action.
When these activities are managed in separate systems, understanding the complete picture becomes harder.
Sherm helps provide a connected HSEQ environment around those operational activities.
Operational change creates HSEQ information. Sherm helps keep that information connected.
Maintain Visibility of Plant and Equipment
Plant is central to many manufacturing and industrial operations.
Sherm's Plant & Equipment capability provides a structured location for maintaining plant information within the broader HSEQ management environment.
This allows plant-related information to sit alongside inspections, risks, documents and operational records rather than being disconnected from the wider management system.
Explore plant and equipmentTurn Inspections Into Action
An inspection has limited value if its findings disappear into a completed form.
Sherm enables organisations to configure and complete inspections around their operational requirements and maintain the resulting information within the broader HSEQ environment.
Where an inspection identifies an issue requiring attention, the objective is to maintain visibility beyond the inspection itself.
The value isn't the completed checklist. It's what happens because of it.
Inspect
Capture what is happening.
Identify
Record issues and findings.
Act
Allocate responsibility and required action.
Follow Up
Maintain visibility of progress.
Verify
Retain evidence of completion.
Keep Procedures and Work Instructions Under Control
Manufacturing operations depend on workers having access to appropriate information about how work should be performed.
Sherm's Documentation capability provides a controlled environment for policies, procedures, Safe Work Instructions, operational instructions, emergency information, forms and supporting HSEQ documents.
Revision, distribution and acknowledgement processes can be used according to configuration, reducing reliance on uncontrolled copies and email. Relevant guidance can also be made available through Sherm Resources.
Explore document managementKnow Your People Have the Capability Required
Manufacturing work can involve equipment-specific requirements, licences, inductions, training, procedures and demonstrated competencies.
Simply knowing that someone attended training does not necessarily provide the visibility needed to understand workforce capability.
Sherm's Training & Competency capabilities bring training, licences, certificates and competency information together within the operational HSEQ environment.
MyCAT also gives individuals greater visibility of relevant training and competency information.
Connect the person, their role and the capability required to perform the work.
Connect Quality With Operational Improvement
Manufacturing organisations often need to manage issues and findings that extend beyond worker safety.
Product, process, supplier, documentation or operational issues may require investigation, corrective action, verification and organisational learning.
Sherm's integrated HSEQ environment allows issues, audits, inspections and corrective actions to contribute to a broader picture of organisational performance.
Move beyond recording the problem. Maintain visibility of what happens next.
Issue or non-conformance
Record the product, process, supplier, documentation or operational concern.
Review
Examine the circumstances and determine what needs attention.
Corrective action
Agree the response and record the actions required.
Responsibility
Assign each action to the appropriate person.
Verification
Review completion and retain supporting evidence.
Improvement
Use the outcome to inform future operational practice.
Make Authoritative Guidance Easier to Access
Manufacturing organisations may rely on legislation, Codes of Practice, regulator guidance, Standards, manufacturer information and internal requirements when establishing operational controls.
Sherm Resources can make selected authoritative information accessible within the same environment used for day-to-day HSEQ activities.
For example, relevant guidance concerning plant, hazardous chemicals, manual tasks, noise or risk management can be made accessible to users where appropriate.
