When OCCU-TEC comes on site to evaluate your Asbestos Containing Material (ACM), the information obtained is entered into the AutoTrak™ database. The database then provides a means of tracking ACMs within a facility or multiple facilities by area, space, sample type, sample number and quantity. It provides a description of the space, a description of the ACM and the quantity of material. It also details whether or not the material is friable and provides a hazard rank.

In addition to tracking the location and quantities of asbestos, this program provides cost estimates for removal of the asbestos and replacement of non-asbestos materials. When ACMs are removed, the system can be updated to allow quick reference for maintenance or construction activities.

The AutoTrak™ Lead-based Paint Database can assist you in ensuring lead-based paint is properly managed and that all regulations are followed during maintenance and renovation activities. OSHA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have enacted lead-based paint regulations in an effort to reduce exposures to lead for all individuals, from construction and maintenance workers to building and home tenants.

The AutoTrak™ Lead-based Paint Database provides a means of tracking all painted surfaces within a facility or multiple facilities which have been testing for lead. At your fingertips will be the lead content of each surface by room, substrate, type of structure, lead content and a number of other factors. You will also be able to track the condition of each surface, letting you know which surfaces are safe and which pose potential health risks. When lead paint surfaces are abated, the system can be quickly updated to allow quick reference for maintenance or construction activities.

As property owners, lenders and buyers are recognizing that environmental management is part of sound business practices, OCCU-TEC has responded with the AutoTrak™ Environmental Site Assessment Database. Whether it is a Phase I or Phase II Environmental Site Assessment or Pollution Prevention and Waste Management, our aim is to help you minimize risk and maximize profit.

The AutoTrak™ Environmental Site Assessment Database can assist you in tracking the results of your Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III activities and results. Search for results on storage tanks, elevators, asbestos testing, and tracking of hazardous materials. The database also includes records of the applicable laws and regulations which have been found to impact the environmental health of your business. Whether there is an existing environmental liability, or a question of compliance, OCCU-TEC’s environmental professionals and AutoTrak™ databases can provide the resources and tracking to save your business valuable time and resources.

The AutoTrak™ Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Database is designed to track and manage routine maintenance activities that contribute to workplace IEQ issues, such as mechanical system maintenance, routine building inspections, duct and carpet cleaning and periodic recording of basic IEQ measurements. The database maintains records of all IEQ samples that are collected, including lab results.

Notes and comments that are collected during the visual inspection are documented, along with representative digital photos. Various forms are provided to allow the user to enter occupant complaints and help the facility manager determine the existence of trends. One of the major benefits of this automated system is the ability to produce informative reports, including results, observations and recommended actions online.

OCCU-TEC has developed a Personal Protective Equipment AutoTrak™ database to assist our clients in properly assessing their workplace for hazards that may require Personal Protective Equipment. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has developed regulation 29 CFR 1910.132 (d) (1) which requires this type of assessment and written documentation that the assessment has been completed.

The AutoTrak™ database is created when OCCU-TEC surveys its client’s workplace and reviews all jobs on site. We document the job being performed, the hazard(s) associated with the job and the recommended Personal Protective Equipment that is required. All of this information is put into the database where it can be accessed individually or through several report forms.

After surveying your entire facility, our OCCU-TEC team identifies what confined spaces are present on site with input from the client about whether they are Permit-Required Confined Spaces (PRCS). A digital photograph of the entrance(s) to the space is taken and entered into the database. The photo then goes into a survey report form which describes the space, its hazards, type of entry required, as well as isolation and rescue procedures. Entry permit information can also be printed from the report.

OSHA regulation 29 CFR1910.147 requires that employers evaluate hazardous energy associated with their facilities and establish machine or equipment specific Lockout/Tagout procedures to control these hazards. OCCU-TEC has established an AutoTrak™ database to document these hazards and list the Lockout /Tagout procedures required to protect employees.

Our team inspects your site, determines the type and magnitude of exposure and develops written step-by-step Lockout/Tagout procedures specific for each type of machine or piece of equipment. This information is entered into the database and can then be accessed when maintenance is to be completed on the equipment or machinery. The client can modify the database when there are any changes in the Lockout procedures or when new equipment is brought on site.

Our onsite services include the inspection of all machinery and equipment for the purpose of assessing whether machine guarding is adequate and meets regulatory standards. Our field personnel take digital photographs of equipment on site and enter them into the AutoTrak™ database where they are linked to the machine guarding report. This report describes the machinery, its hazards, severity and frequency of exposure, and recommended guarding upgrades if needed. Areas to be guarded and guarding details are drawn on the photographs to assist in the correction of the hazard.

There is a section on the report to list the corrective action taken and the date completed. This database allows the client to access information by department, severity and frequency priority, or by location. When new equipment is brought on site, or when major changes are made to existing equipment, this database allows for the addition of the new records so the database is kept current.

OCCU-TEC completes a thorough ergonomic review of each type of job and its related tasks. This information is input into our AutoTrak™ Ergonomic Database for calculation of the various body movements involved with each task. Factors such as force, repetition, vibration, temperature, motions, etc. are included in this calculation. Those tasks which have the greatest degree of exposure from Ergonomic Hazards are identified in the database. This information can be used to address the problems associated with these tasks and reduce employee exposure to Ergonomic Stressors.

Also included in this database is an evaluation of lifting tasks which includes: weight of object, frequency of lift, duration of task, body position, etc. This information is also provided in report form on the database and those jobs with the greatest degree of exposure are identified.

OCCU-TEC understands that employee training is key to maintaining a healthy, compliant workplace. Along with our robust training curriculum and catalog, we have also developed a comprehensive AutoTrak™ database to assist our clients in tracking all aspects of employee training in a fast, efficient manner.

The AutoTrak™ Employee Training database will allow you to track each employee by the classes they have completed, any upcoming training they may need, and alerts informing you of when current training is about to expire. To assist you in managing the costs of employee training, you can also pre-assign training activity costs per employee to obtain a total projected annual cost for budgeting purposes. OCCU-TEC can save time and money by maintaining your complete training records in our dynamic, comprehensive AutoTrak™ database.
