EcoOnline
5.1/10EHS software suite for incident management, audits and inspections, permits to work, chemical safety, lone worker protection and ESG reporting at industrial and public-sector organisations.
Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
EcoOnline is a modular environment, health and safety platform. Its EHS core covers incident management, risk management, audits and inspections, and Control of Work. Control of Work digitises permit-to-work requests, approvals and closures, checks contractor qualifications and training before work starts, controls site access, and flags conflicting jobs. Other product lines add chemical management (SDS management, SDS authoring through ALMEGO, and Sypol COSHH risk assessment), StaySafe lone worker protection with a panic button, low-signal and satellite modes, emergency and crisis management powered by D4H, ESG and carbon accounting powered by Ecometrica, and a learning management system with eLearning content. The vendor says it serves more than 11,000 organisations, with named customers such as Tesco, Engie, the NHS, Saint-Gobain and Ferrovial. That makes it a good fit for mid-sized and enterprise firms in manufacturing, utilities, construction and the public sector that want safety, chemical and ESG compliance in one supplier. Pricing is not published. Quotes depend on the modules you choose, the number of users and your requirements, and you get one through sales or a demo. The website does not list specific integrations or security certifications. EcoOnline is not a maintenance or asset management system. It has no work order, CMMS, sensor or GIS features, so plants usually run it alongside a separate CMMS. Reviewers also mention a steep learning curve in some modules, especially Risk, terminology that can be confusing, and a mobile app that can be slow to sync.

Best software for EnterpriseGood fit
It is a broad multi-module suite used by large organisations such as Tesco and the NHS.
Chemical management, COSHH assessments and Control of Work target industrial sites, and customers include Saint-Gobain and Merck.
Contractor management, permits and site access control fit construction, and Multiplex and Ferrovial are customers.
Customers include Engie and Anglian Water, and permits and lone worker tools suit field utility work.

Pricing is quote-based and reviewers say costs are high and setup often needs advisor help.

- Reviewers report a steep learning curve, especially in the Risk module, and dense terminology.
- Some users say the mobile app is slow and can take 10 to 15 seconds to sync.
