The Hidden Benefits of a Document Control System

A document control system (DCS) is a living system that can be adjusted to suit an individual organization’s evolving needs. A DCS can establish digital workflows that improve productivity standards of documents across departments and facilities and allow for greater transparency with audit trails.

A DCS is even more applicable today as EHSQ professionals must keep pace with regulatory changes. Following a plan of continuous improvement is key. Operational efficiency is necessary as this:

• ensures secure tracking and organization of relevant information
• reduces risks and improves workflow, and
• reduces environmental impact.
