EPINet™ for Microsoft® Access - From BD Canada

EPINet™ was originally made available utilizing a DOS-based platform. Dr. Jagger, developed the Microsoft Access version to take advantage of the advances in desktop computing, making the task of recording occupational injuries and exposures easier and more intuitive. Forms guide you through critical elements of an exposure incident, including detailed post-exposure incident, including detailed post-exposure follow-up. Powerful database allows you to run statistical analyses and print both pre-programmed and customized reports. Track injury frequency by job, device and procedure. Identify injuries that may be preventable with safety-engineered devices. Target higher-risk devices and procedures for intervention. Measure the success of your prevention programs and the efficacy of new devices with information generated.
