BUSINESSES SET TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY WITH NEW PLATFORM
Citation’s new Atlas technology platform has been launched to dramatically reduce the amount of time businesses spend dealing with health and safety, HR and employment law issues.
Taking a fresh approach to compliance, the software aims to reduce the laborious administration and time that can be wasted by businesses when dealing with their duty of care obligations.
Spearheaded by Citation’s chief technical officer, Paul Lillico, who joined the business two years ago, Atlas is an intelligent platform that links Citation’s clients to tailored HR, health and safety, employment law and quality management solutions. The technology provides prompts that are relevant to the specific needs of client’s individual businesses.
Atlas is a secure, easy to use platform, that is accessible via mobile, tablet and
EMPLOYEE DRIVING CHECKS MADE EASY WITH NEW SAFETY CLOUD DVLA MODULE
Management of employees’ driving records is now simpler and easier, thanks to the introduction of a new DVLA licence module within Southalls’ popular online health and safety system, Safety Cloud.
Developed in conjunction with one of the DVLA’s official partners following the changes to UK licencing introduced in 2015, the new module grants employers three years of instant access to driving records at any point in time.
The scrapping of the UK driver licence paper counterpart in favour of the new MyLicence online system presented employers with a number of challenges, as access to drivers details, including endorsements and suitability to drive different vehicles, was dependent on employees generating a special online code, valid for use for just 21 days.

The new DVLA licence module simplifies this process, providing unlimited access to the Driver DVLA ‘LIVE’ database for three years, subject to employees completing a D796 Driver Mandate Consent Form.
Southalls is one of the fastest growing providers of cloud-based health and safety management, with over 550 businesses and 50,000 employees using its Safety Cloud system.
Commenting on the new module, John Southall said: “The DVLA module allows health and safety managers to carry out another important task via
desktop, which makes it simple and easy for clients to create a safe and legally compliant work environment.
Speaking about the technology Paul Lillico said: “Taking a fresh approach to the minefield that is compliance, Atlas is an industry first and a landmark moment for Citation and our clients. By listening to our clients, we established that business owners and managers felt bogged down with legislation and lost too much time trying to understand what their obligations were when it came to health and safety and their employees.
“From risk assessments to employee inductions, holiday planning, grievance resolution and everything in between, Atlas immediately delivers expert advice to clients’ fingertips enabling them to gain control and visibility of their resources and manage their duty of care and health and safety responsibilities efficiently and in the minimum of time.”
Prior to launch, the software was trialled by a number of Citation’s
clients who reported huge time savings in many areas.
Lillico continues: “We have invested heavily in the platform, both financially and in terms of our own time, to ensure that it positions us and our clients at the cutting edge of technology in this industry. With Atlas now in operation, it gives us a solid foundation not only to enhance the service that we provide to clients, but also to develop further new products in this field.”

Safety Cloud. As with all modules in the system, it has been designed to reduce the administrative burden on employers and staff, and crucially, it will help to make driving records more accessible and transparent.
“When using the DVLA module, we would also recommend that employers develop and adopt a system to determine how regularly checks are performed. Depending on the number of existing endorsements, it is advisable to carry out quarterly checks for drivers with nine or more points, while for those with three or less points, an annual check should be sufficient.”
Safety Cloud provides complete and instant visibility of current compliance, across risk assessments, audits, accident management, training and maintenance, allowing health and safety professionals to manage a full and detailed audit trail. Useful reminders can be set and a task manager facility allocates actions to team members. Safety Cloud also provides users with a series of e-learning videos.
