ROLLOUTS 8 AGGREGATES MANAGER / November 2017 Software, app aid safety incident management Convergence Training rolls out Convergence IMS (incident management system), its newest safety incident reporting software. The software and its companion mobile app are designed to centralize documentation, investigation, and compliance reporting for MSHA and OSHA incident recordkeeping. The software can be integrated within the Convergence LMS (learning management system) or licensed as a stand-alone software tool. The software can be configured with company-specific details. Built-in inci- dent categories, injuries and illnesses, root causes, and corrective actions can be customized. Incident scene photos and videos can be attached to any incident, and witnesses can electronically sign statements in the field via the app. Convergence Training | www.convergencetraining.com Expanded line of high-capacity pumps Atlas Copco Construction Equipment North America expands its dewatering market offerings with more than 30 new heavy-duty, high-capacity pumps.
