            Nowadays, have a lot of an organization developing an objective regarding occupational safety and health to ensure that any accident and injuries happen at workplace will be reduce.  Occupational health and safety (OH&S) is identified, evaluate and control the several of hazards that always exist in work environment especially at workplace (Francis, Lori. and Kelloway, Kevin, E, 2011).  Besides that, the role of human resources it’s important to protect workers, customers, suppliers  and public who are impacted by organization operational as well as to reduce the sick leave and medical cost.  Other than that, an organization should build and develop a system or software related to HRIS that requires employees always up-to-date about their personal information whether their receive training about OSH and quite frequently in accidents during the work.  Then, the purpose of OHS program is to prevent injury and illness, reduce the cost and property damage at workplace and maintain a productive of work by using the effective management processes and system.  Therefore, there are have a several of  areas that  need to be emphasize in OSH which are employee record management, compensation and benefits, recruitment and retention, training and development, performance appraisal, and Occupational Health and Safety (OSH).
Human resource information system (HRIS) has build and develop a OSH system requires employees log in to update about their personal information detail regarding the OSH.  These system it’s a very applicable to employees to access the data about their recent record regarding  fire safety training, medical claims, sick leave and report hazards.  OSH system have a many types that included under this system which are Construction OSH, OHS System Audit, Transport Safety, OHS Equipment Register, JSA Template, Incident Report Forms, Construction Site Sole Trade Pace and Environmental Management Plan.  For example, have a several digital tools for managing safety through construction such as the online databases, VR, GIS, 4D CAD, BIM, sensing/warning technologies for site hazard prevention and safe project delivery.  Online database it’s important in assessing competence of different stakeholders but VR and database technologies is to assist the user in identifying potential the construction risks contained in the design at the construction stage. 
Other than that, automatic OHS also reporting will be supported by warning systems within the HRIS to ensure all staff has updated their OHS training but specific to their role.  At the same time, organization that using sophisticated system before this, and now can build and develop  own system to regularly employees OHS knowledge through online tests by ESS Portal.  Those who are fail a test which pops up on the screen such as that appear on PeopleSoft Enterprise ePreformance Screen, then, automatically receive notice of the need to complete the topic failed Then, manager will be informed about the result of the test and follow up required test (Tatnall, Arthur, 2007).
Furthermore, OSH system also will give financial benefit to an organization.  Financial benefit it’s important thing that always organization emphasizing in order to avoid costly in manage the system.  At the same time,  top management will be satisfied with the OSH system that has develop in their organization to increase the efficiency of  management tool regarding OSH  system.  Hence, cost or budget planning must be aligned with the effort organization to build this system.  At the same time, manager will be know about the accident and illnesses history of employees that record in the system also to increase the awareness among employees to prevent accidents at workplace.  This is because OSH system will enhanced the effectiveness and efficiency management of organization also the process would be systematic rather than using sophisticated OSH system.
Besides that, OSH system it’s important as a tool for improving patient safety such as workers at workplace.  OSH system also requires that healthcare system have ready access to information that support learning from experience in order to promote systems that both prevent the errors.  Hence, all employee requires to fill up the forms in system at the same always up-to-date about the important information regarding their personal information whether has receive fire safety training or not before join the company and managers would be monitor the activities of employees, hence, always up-to-date the data in the system to future reference.
