ZeroLapse tracks every certification, PPE issue, equipment certificate and designated role that carries an expiry date — and warns you 30, 15, 7 and 1 day before any of it lapses. Your OSHA 300 records build themselves from the incidents you already logged.
If you've searched for both terms and found different results, you're not imagining it. EHS — Environmental, Health and Safety — is the standard term across the United States and Canada. HSE — Health, Safety and Environment — is what the UK, South Africa, the Middle East and most of the global oil and gas sector use.
The difference is word order and local convention, not scope. The usual explanation is institutional: the UK named its enforcement agency the Health and Safety Executive, while the US split enforcement between OSHA for safety and the EPA for environment, and American industry bundled the compliance functions together as EHS.
Practically, it means US job postings say "EHS Manager" and most US vendors say "EHS software" or "EHS compliance software," while the identical role in Johannesburg or Aberdeen is an HSE Manager. The work is the same. So is this software — you configure it to the framework you actually work under.
Anything with a date on it, in one place:
Close an incident with a few plain facts and ZeroLapse assembles the paperwork: the Form 300 log, the 300A annual summary, and the 301 incident reports, as one download.
That matters most in February. A 300A reconstructed in late January from a shoebox and memory is where errors come from; logging each incident properly when it happens turns the posting period into an export instead.
Two obligations, not one. Posting the 300A from February 1 through April 30 and submitting electronically through OSHA's Injury Tracking Application are separate requirements — doing one does not satisfy the other, and the summary has to be certified by a company executive.
Confirm what applies to your establishment size and industry with OSHA directly; ZeroLapse produces the records, it doesn't file them for you.
We'd rather be straight about this than let you find out after signing up.
ZeroLapse tracks environmental permits, licenses and certificates that carry renewal dates, along with the inspections and documents attached to them. It is not an emissions-accounting platform, a chemical inventory or SDS management system, or a waste-manifest tool.
If air and water reporting is your primary requirement, you need a dedicated environmental system and we'd tell you so. If your primary requirement is that nothing expires unnoticed — across people, equipment and documents — that's precisely what this is built for.
Define your training types, PPE types, role profiles and document types once. Bulk-import your people from a spreadsheet if you already have one.
Load existing certificates, PPE issues and equipment records. Anything already expired surfaces immediately — which is usually the uncomfortable part, and the point.
30, 15, 7 and 1 day before expiry, on the day, then weekly while it's outstanding. Routed by role, so managers only get their own team's.
Your whole file as one indexed PDF for an audit, a compliance register in Excel, a non-compliance report, or your OSHA 300 pack.
Both — they're the same discipline under two acronyms. EHS is the standard term in the US and Canada; HSE is used in the UK, South Africa, the Middle East and much of oil and gas. The difference is word order and regional convention, not scope. ZeroLapse is configurable to whichever framework you work under, so the acronym doesn't change what the software does.
Employee training and certifications with expiry dates, PPE issued per person with sizes and replacement dates, equipment and asset certificates, designated roles with the minimum number your site needs, permits and company documents, inspection checklists, safety meeting attendance registers, and your incident log. Everything carrying a date, in one place, with alerts before it lapses.
Yes. Closing an incident with a few plain facts builds your Form 300 log, 300A annual summary and 301 incident reports as a downloadable pack — turning the February posting period into an export rather than a reconstruction. Note that posting the 300A and submitting electronically through the ITA are two separate obligations.
Partly, and we'd rather be clear where the line sits. It tracks environmental permits, licenses and certificates with renewal dates, and the records attached to them. It is not an emissions-accounting, chemical-inventory or waste-manifest system. If air or water reporting is your main requirement, you need a dedicated environmental platform.
No. ZeroLapse is used by teams internationally and is fully configurable. You define your own training types, PPE types, role requirements and document types, so it follows OSHA, your state program, your corporate standard or a client's site rules rather than any single country's regulations. US pricing is shown in dollars and the OSHA export is built in.
Yes. Each site runs its own account and manages its own day-to-day compliance, and sites can be grouped so a head office sees one combined view — scoped nationally, by region, or to specific locations. Head office access is strictly read-only, enforced on the server rather than just hidden in the interface.
30, 15, 7 and 1 day before expiry, again on the day itself, then weekly while the item stays outstanding. Alerts are routed by role — EHS and senior managers see everything, department managers see only their own team.
Yes — 30 days, on any plan, no credit card required.
Every certification, PPE issue, equipment certificate and designated role in one place — with a warning well before anything lapses.
