As a software company, Structr has specialised in developing custom environment health safety systems and other bespoke software for more than 15 years. We have already built a complex system for preserving environmental quality for the municipality of Winterswijk.

An EHS requires intelligently connected data to make energy management, risk assessment, hazardous substance management and prevention management more efficient. Custom EHS software built with Structr maps complex structures in a visual graph with high performance, so that even deeply nested queries return within milliseconds.

Below, we describe the benefits of Structr EHS software and explain exactly how we develop your EHS.

Custom EHS development

We offer high-quality custom EHS development. Your individual Structr environment health safety system is an all-in-one software solution with top performance thanks to Neo4j graph database technology, intuitive low-code tools and AI support.

As a full-stack solution, Structr delivers a graph database, document archive (DAM), workflow engine (BPMN), API interfaces and a low-code builder in one environment.

Structr lets you build an extremely agile and powerful EHS. Graph-native Neo4j data modelling ensures top performance for complex JOIN queries. Thanks to intelligent networking, with relationships and dependencies stored directly in the graph, a Structr EHS outperforms systems based on conventional relational databases. The system answers highly interconnected EHS questions within milliseconds, for example which employee at a particular site holds a valid briefing for a defined hazardous substance stored in a particular hall.

EHS software developed with Structr enables the native integration of a digital asset management system (DAM) with OCR. Structr provides a virtual file system in which metadata lives in the graph and files can be linked to any objects. Thanks to Tesseract OCR (optical character recognition), all documents, including scans and photos of inspection labels, are automatically indexed in full text and instantly searchable.

A Structr environment health safety system fully automates approval processes and workflows for risk assessments, safety incidents and other routine processes in your company. The integrated process engine executes BPMN models directly on the application graph, without synchronisation gaps to external engines.

With a Structr EHS there is no need to program API interfaces manually, which shortens development time and makes the system less error-prone overall. As soon as a new data type is created in the schema editor, Structr fully automatically generates a ready-to-use REST endpoint with full CRUD support (create, read, update, delete).

Structr's low-code page builder makes it easy to create user interfaces for your EHS. The user interface can be assembled modularly by drag and drop from stored templates and widgets. To ensure maximum flexibility for developers, we provide a code area. This allows developers, if desired, to write plain JavaScript to implement highly complex business logic, cron jobs and connections to external systems.

The integration of AI into the Structr EHS supports developers with data modelling and offers valuable assistance to end users. Structr provides AI within a controllable and sovereign platform, so applications remain predictable and auditable. The AI operates with a fixed data model and clear guardrails. Through deterministic structured coding, the AI translates human requirements into verifiable text-level descriptions. Only after verification are these descriptions transferred into the graph database.

EHS features

In the following list, we describe the most important EHS features that can be implemented effortlessly with Structr.

Row of icons for the EHS features: monitoring energy management, planning examinations, documenting results, tracking protective measures and hazardous substance and facility management.

  • Monitoring energy management and consumption

    An EHS developed with Structr uses automatically generated REST APIs to integrate key interface functions for monitoring energy management and consumption. The APIs enable seamless connection of the EHS to IoT sensors and existing ERP systems. The native Neo4j graph database intelligently links consumption data to specific machines, production lines and sites. The low-code UI builder lets you create custom dashboards that visualise deviations in energy consumption in real time.

  • Planning examinations

    A Structr environment health safety system reliably plans examinations such as safety audits and occupational health check-ups. The EHS fully automates the scheduling of all examinations in the company. Thanks to graph database technology, the system very quickly identifies which employee needs which examination based on their specific job profile or machine access. Structr EHS software can be configured to send automatic invitations and reminders for examinations.

  • Documenting results

    Structr environment health safety systems document results reliably. After an audit, a risk assessment or environmental reporting, transparent documentation is required. Intuitive, mobile-optimised self-service portals allow safety officers to enter results and photos into the system directly on site. Thanks to the DAM system (digital asset management) integrated into Structr, all documents and inspection records are stored in an audit-proof manner.

  • Tracking protective measures

    A Structr EHS continuously tracks protective measures. When a risk is identified or a near miss is reported, countermeasures or corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) are required. Structr links the reported hazard directly to the corresponding measure, the responsible employee and the relevant deadline.

  • Hazardous substance and facility management

    A Structr EHS lets you manage hazardous substances and facilities efficiently. Managing chemicals and complex production facilities requires a structured representation of multi-layered relationships. The Neo4j graph database maps exactly which hazardous substance is stored in which quantities at which site and on which machines it is used. The associated safety data sheets and operating instructions are logically linked to the facilities and can be accessed by staff on site in real time at any time.

Use cases for environment health safety systems

Typical use cases for environment health safety systems include environmental protection, health protection, occupational safety, production, logistics, and energy and utilities.

The following list provides an overview of the main use cases for environment health safety systems.

Row of icons for the use cases of environment health safety systems: environmental protection, health protection, occupational safety, production, logistics, and energy and utilities.

  • Environmental protection

    An EHS is used for seamless monitoring and documentation in environmental protection. The system controls waste management, documents the handling of hazardous substances and can be used to monitor emissions. Because data is captured centrally, compliance with mandatory environmental standards such as ISO 14001 becomes easier. On this basis, the EHS delivers reliable real-time data for ESG reporting.

  • Health protection

    A custom EHS from Structr is ideal for health protection in companies. Structr-based EHS software lets you centrally manage occupational health check-ups, ergonomic workplace inspections and measures for noise and radiation protection.

  • Occupational safety

    Environment health safety systems are used in occupational safety to reliably provide risk assessments and operating instructions on one platform. The system manages regular safety briefings and can be programmed so that training deadlines are never missed.

  • Production

    In production, environment health safety systems are used to document risks from machinery, noise and hazardous substances. A Structr EHS ensures that the hazardous substance register, including all current safety data sheets, is available digitally around the clock. The integrated process engine (BPMN) lets you automate approval procedures, for example for hazardous work.

  • Logistics

    Logistics is a typical use case for environment health safety systems. A Structr EHS helps companies comply with dangerous goods regulations (ADR), document regular inspections of racking systems and lifting equipment, and manage contractors.

  • Energy and utilities

    An EHS is used in energy and utilities, for example in critical infrastructure (KRITIS) environments, at power plants and grid operators. The EHS ensures compliance with complex regulatory requirements. It plans and documents highly standardised safety audits, controls emergency and crisis management, and ensures that all strict safety protocols can be fully verified when external service providers carry out maintenance work.

In the following list, we describe all the benefits of Structr EHS software.

Satellite graph of the benefits of a custom environment health safety system: complete centralisation of prevention management, greater efficiency of the administrative system, transparent environmental protection, targeted health and safety management, intelligent networking of EHS data and audit-proof document management.

  • Complete centralisation of prevention management

    An EHS ensures complete centralisation of prevention management. Environment health safety systems developed with Structr bundle all safety-related processes in one platform. Risk analyses, audit planning and the tracking of measures are kept in one central location. Thanks to Structr's automated API generation, the system integrates seamlessly with existing ERP and HR systems, so that all preventive measures are planned on the basis of current personnel and machine data.

  • Greater efficiency of the administrative system

    A custom-developed EHS significantly increases the efficiency of the administrative system. EHS departments handle an enormous bureaucratic workload every day. Structr's process engine (BPMN), natively integrated into the graph, automates specific reporting chains, approval workflows and compliance audits, for example. Thanks to the flexible graph data model, changes can be made in real time, relieving the IT department and reducing administrative costs.

  • Transparent environmental protection in the company

    A Structr-based EHS ensures transparent environmental protection in the company. Environmental targets according to ISO 14001 or ESG criteria and compliance with limits for emissions, waste volumes and energy consumption require transparency. Structr's low-code UI builder lets you create custom dashboards that visualise environmental KPIs in real time. The system intelligently links environmental data directly to production sites and facilities in order to identify optimisation potential early on.

  • Targeted health and safety management

    An EHS supports targeted health and safety management. For example, intuitive self-service portals can be set up through which employees report near misses and hazards via smartphone. The system can securely manage medical check-ups and safety training. Structr allows fine-grained rights management that controls access to sensitive information down to the level of individual data nodes.

  • Intelligent networking of EHS data

    A Structr EHS intelligently connects all EHS data. Structr links data multidimensionally and enables queries on complex relationships, for example whether a particular machine causes accidents at different sites or whether the employees involved lacked training. This deep, machine-readable networking enables a data-driven, well-founded root cause analysis to prevent accidents and misconduct.

  • Audit-proof document management for safety data sheets

    An environment health safety system from Structr offers audit-proof document management for safety data sheets. The integrated DAM (digital asset management) in Structr enables central versioning of safety data sheets, operating instructions and certificates. The DAM ensures at system level that only the latest approved version of a document is available in production and that all access and changes are fully documented for future audits.
