    CORE-EHS

    CORE-EHS offers named software products for industrial safety processes. Buyers can evaluate electronic work authorization, incident investigations and contractor oversight while confirming which functions are included in EHS360 and which are separately scoped.

    Evidence: Researched profile

    Built from vendor sources checked ; AI-assisted drafting. Documentation review, not a hands-on test. How pages are made

    Who is CORE-EHS for?

    Industrial plants and project organisations evaluating configurable permit and incident workflows across locations. The official portfolio describes many specialized products, but public pages do not establish that every module is included in one licence or shares identical mobile, offline, approval and integration behavior. Require an itemized proposal and cross-module demonstrations using the intended roles, sites and devices.

    Worth evaluating for industrial teams whose principal need is traceable work authorization and related safety follow-up. Value depends on the complete product and services scope, especially connections between permits, contractors and incidents.

    Watch for: No verified numeric software pricing. Software and professional services need separate scoping.

    Capabilities and scope

    CORE-EHS identifies itself as formerly ASK EHS Engineering & Consultants. This profile covers its software portfolio; consulting, staffing and training services are separate commercial offerings.

    CORE-EHS capabilities, evidence status and source links
    CapabilityEvidenceScope and source
    Electronic permit lifecycleDocumented by vendor

    e-PTW documents requests, authorization, status tracking and closure for operational work permits.

    Electronic permit-to-work scope
    Isolation and risk checksDepends on scope

    The permit product describes risk assessments and isolation controls. Demonstrate the exact validation rules; documentation is not proof that an unsafe job cannot be authorized.

    Electronic permit-to-work scope
    Incident investigationsDocumented by vendor

    IRIS describes reporting, investigation, assignment and tracking through closure.

    IRIS incident management
    Contractor oversightDocumented by vendor

    CSM 360 describes pre-qualification, onboarding, training and incident tracking, including a permit integration feature.

    Contractor safety management
    Bow-tie barrier managementDocumented by vendor

    The named bow-tie product maps threats, consequences and controls, and describes incident-data connections.

    Bow-tie risk management
    Cross-site EHS reportingDepends on scope

    EHS360 covers dashboards and consolidated records across plants and projects. Workflow and access configuration require confirmation.

    EHS360 platform scope and caveats
    Inspection-to-verified closureDocumented by vendor

    InspectSafe360 describes checklist inspections, photo or video evidence, assigned corrective actions, tracked closure and control-measure verification. Demonstrate who can accept or reject evidence and how an effectiveness check differs from task completion.

    Inspection findings, corrective actions and control verification
    Structured HIRAC risk assessmentDocumented by vendor

    CORE HIRAC documents hazard capture and classification, standardized severity-and-likelihood evaluation, hierarchy-of-controls selection, assigned actions and closure verification. Treat the risk matrix, scoring rules and approval gates as configurable items that must be demonstrated against the buyer's methodology.

    HIRAC hazard identification, risk evaluation and control tracking
    Training and competency lifecycleDocumented by vendor

    CORE Skill Hub documents organization-wide training calendars, classroom and e-learning assignments, enrollment and attendance, certification validity, renewal reminders, skill-gap analysis and reporting. Confirm content-authoring, LMS integrations and whether contractor training is licensed in the proposed package.

    Skill Hub training and competency management
    Audit planning and CAPA follow-upDocumented by vendor

    CORE Safety Audit documents recurring and ad-hoc audit scheduling, configurable checklists, findings, CAPA assignment, reminders, evidence storage and audit-ready reports. References to standards describe configurable alignment and should not be interpreted as certification of a customer's processes.

    Safety Audit planning, findings and CAPA tracking
    Asset integrity lifecycle managementDocumented by vendor

    CORE Asset Integrity documents asset registers and hierarchies, inspection and testing schedules, maintenance planning, defect or deviation tracking, risk-based prioritization and lifecycle condition monitoring. Predictive or condition-based behavior depends on available asset data and should be validated in the proposed deployment.

    CORE-EHS pricing

    Contact vendor

    Pricing is not publicly available in the reviewed official sources. Contact vendor for a written proposal covering users, locations, configured workflows, implementation, integrations, support and renewal terms.

    Pricing sources checked : Partially verified. Official product scope and demo routes reviewed; no numeric subscription price or free production trial verified.

    Which product scope should the quote cover?

    EHS360 is the broad configurable platform. CORE e-PTW, IRIS, CSM 360, InspectSafe360, HIRAC, Skill Hub, Safety Audit and Asset Integrity are separately named products or modules; their inclusion, shared records, integrations and commercial packaging require proposal-level confirmation.

    Ask the vendor to identify the product, region, modules, billing unit, contract term and included services in writing.

    Portfolio offline claim; product-specific validation required

    The portfolio advertises offline scan, capture and signing. EHS360 guidance says mobile, web and offline capabilities require vendor verification; the e-PTW page documents mobile access without establishing disconnected authorization. Confirm product-specific offline controls and synchronization before using them in work authorization.

    Demo script

    Demo exercise: permit authorization and connectivity

    1. Load a sample high-risk task using the proposed permit configuration.
    2. Leave an isolation check incomplete and attempt approval with a test account.
    3. Disconnect the device and establish which transitions are permitted.
    4. Reconnect and inspect authorization history before demonstrating closure.

    Demo exercise: contractor incident across products

    1. Create a contractor with a sample training requirement.
    2. Associate the contractor with a proposed work permit.
    3. Record a related incident in the offered incident workflow.
    4. Trace shared identifiers, assigned actions and the final export across the purchased products.

    Demo exercise: HIRAC from hazard to verified control

    1. Create a representative task and capture hazards for equipment, activity and work environment.
    2. Apply the buyer's severity and likelihood criteria and inspect how the resulting risk rating is calculated.
    3. Select controls using the hierarchy of controls, assign owners and due dates, and submit the assessment for review.
    4. Attach closure evidence, verify the residual-risk calculation and inspect the complete approval and change history.

    Ask the vendor to show you

    1. Does the proposal include e-PTW, IRIS and CSM 360 or only selected EHS360 workflows?
    2. How does the system prevent permit approval when an isolation verification is missing?
    3. Which operations are blocked when connectivity is lost?
    4. Show the data exchange between a contractor record, permit and incident.
    Use demo checklist

    Questions the sources answer

    Is CORE-EHS the same company as ASK EHS?

    The vendor identifies CORE-EHS as formerly ASK EHS Engineering & Consultants. Its software portfolio should be distinguished from its consulting, staffing and training services.

    Does CORE-EHS manage operational permits to work?

    CORE e-PTW is specifically described as electronic permit-to-work software. It covers authorization and closure, with risk and isolation checks. Confirm the exact workflow in the proposed configuration.

    Can CORE e-PTW approve permits offline?

    The reviewed permit page establishes mobile access but not disconnected approval. Portfolio offline statements should not be treated as evidence for this safety-critical transaction. Ask for an explicit supported-operation list.
