Sherm by industry
HSEQ Management Software for Resources & Field Operations
Connect people, plant and operational risk — wherever the work takes place.
Resources and field operations bring together people, mobile plant, equipment, contractors and changing work environments, often across dispersed or remote locations.
Intelligent operational guidance with defensible oversight.
Sherm connects risk, incidents, inspections, plant and equipment, training and competency, controlled documents, contractors and corrective actions within one HSEQ environment.
Field teams gain practical ways to participate where the work occurs, while supervisors, HSEQ professionals and management gain greater visibility across the operation.
HSEQ Management Across Complex Operational Environments
Resources and field-based businesses operate in environments where conditions, equipment, people and operational risk can change quickly. Workers may operate mobile plant, maintain equipment, undertake drilling or excavation, travel between locations, work outdoors or remotely, or complete specialist work at client-controlled sites.
The challenge is maintaining the connection between people, plant and equipment, locations, the environment, risk, competency and information. Sherm brings the HSEQ information surrounding these activities into one connected operational environment.

Put the HSEQ System Where the Work Happens
Field operations should not have to depend on somebody returning to an office before important HSEQ information becomes visible. Sherm's mobile application gives field teams access to relevant HSEQ activities from their device, connecting frontline participation with the broader management system.
Depending on configuration and access, workers can participate in hazards, incidents, issues and inspections, and access documents, safety data sheets, training, competency, licences and certificates.
Field or site
Report, inspect, access relevant information and participate where work occurs.
Sherm Mobile
Connect frontline HSEQ activity to the organisation's configured management processes.
Review and oversight
Responsible people review findings, manage actions and maintain evidence of follow-up.
Connect Plant, Inspections and Operational Risk
Plant and equipment information becomes more useful when considered alongside the activities surrounding it. An inspection may identify a defect; that finding may require a risk review, corrective action, updated procedure or competency check.
Sherm helps keep these activities within a connected HSEQ environment. Do not stop at recording the inspection: maintain visibility of what happens next.
Plant and equipment
Identify the asset and operational context.
Inspect
Capture the condition and any finding.
Assess
Review issues, hazards, risk and relevant controls.
Act
Assign and complete the response under your procedures.
Verify and oversee
Record closure evidence and review outstanding work.
Manage Operational Risk as Conditions Change
Weather, terrain, equipment, people, adjacent activities, client requirements and environmental conditions can alter the circumstances surrounding field work.
Sherm's Hazard & Risk Management capabilities provide a structured environment for identifying hazards, assessing risk, recording controls and maintaining information that can be reviewed alongside other operational HSEQ activity.
Explore Risk ManagementMaintain Visibility of Training, Licences and Competency
Resources and field operations depend on the capability of the people performing the work. Different roles may require specific training, licences, certificates, inductions and demonstrated competencies relating to plant, equipment and activities.
Sherm's Training & Competency capabilities help maintain these records. Where configured, MyCAT also gives individuals access to their relevant training and competency information.
Person and position
Identify the worker, role and applicable requirements.
Competency records
Maintain relevant training, licence, certificate and competency evidence.
Visibility
Help workers and authorised managers see records that need attention.
Support Remote and Isolated Field Operations
Remote or isolated field work can make access to help, relevant information and operational oversight more difficult. Communication, emergency arrangements, worker capability and local conditions require their own appropriate assessment.
Sherm can support the HSEQ information and processes surrounding remote work through risk records, competency information, reporting, inspections, documents and corrective actions. It is not an emergency communications or lone-worker monitoring system.
Keep Controlled Information Accessible in the Field
Field workers may need procedures, safe work instructions, risk information, forms, emergency information and other controlled HSEQ documents. Sherm's Documentation capability provides a controlled environment for revision, distribution and acknowledgement requirements according to configuration.
Relevant regulator and industry guidance can also be made accessible through Sherm Resources, reducing reliance on outdated printed copies, uncontrolled files and email trails.
Explore Document ManagementMake Authoritative Guidance Easier to Access
Resource operations may need to work with specialised guidance as well as wider workplace requirements. Sherm Resources gives organisations a way to make selected authoritative and organisational information available within their HSEQ environment.
Depending on the operation, this may include guidance concerning mining and quarrying, plant, silica and dust, remote work, hazardous chemicals, emergency management and risk. The organisation chooses and maintains the information relevant to its requirements.
Select guidance
Choose authoritative and organisational information relevant to the operation.
Use it in context
Make guidance available where HSEQ activities are managed.
Maintain evidence
Connect operational action, records and oversight.
Connect Contractors With the Broader Operation
Resources and field operations often rely on contractors, specialist service providers and suppliers. Their involvement can bring competency, document, risk and operational information requirements.
Sherm's Contractor & Supplier Management capability provides a structured environment for maintaining relevant information and records within the broader HSEQ system instead of isolating them in another folder or spreadsheet.

Built for One Operation or Many
A resources or field business may operate from one quarry, workshop or depot, or across multiple sites, projects, regions and client locations.
Sherm can be configured around organisational structures, locations, departments, positions and people while maintaining one connected HSEQ environment. Operational responsibility stays close to the work while management can review broader information.

Step inside Sherm and explore how risk, incidents, inspections, plant and equipment, documents, training and competency, contractors and corrective actions can work together within one HSEQ environment.
More Than Field Safety Software
Sherm is an integrated Health, Safety, Environment and Quality management platform. It can sit alongside specialist fleet, telemetry, mining production, emergency communication and lone-worker systems rather than claiming to perform their functions.
Sherm connects the HSEQ information surrounding how field work is planned, performed, reviewed and improved.
