The cost is overkill for our size company. Our field employees aren't computer savvy enough for this program. The program has lots of topics but there are limited amounts of trainings that apply to what we do.
Pros: Topic content is up to date and professional. The videos provide a clear understanding of the training topic.
Cons: This product is VERY expensive. Not as user-friendly as we would like. We are are small company with 8 employees.

Fantastic their sales and support teams are incredibly professional. Their technical support was really responsive.
Pros: Intuitive technology, state of the art forms and superior customer service. Their system admin support area is easy to use.
Cons: We had some issues using the SSO and security but these have been resolved. I have 20 people using the system.

Love it, EHS Hero has all the tools I need to build our EHS program - from plans & procedures to a plethora of training materials. The curated regulatory updates save me a ton of time, I no longer need to hunt down updates from multiple regulatory agencies!
Pros: Comprehensive plan & program templates that are easily customizable to fit the needs of our facilities - from regulatory compliance to contractor oversight. The layout is user friendly and intuitively easy to use. Great value for the money and their customer support is fast, friendly, and knowledgeable!
Cons: I haven't figured out how to download multiple files at once ("batching"), unclear if that is an option or not.
John P. · EHS Manager · Pharmaceuticals · March 4, 2026
Overall a good database and I recommend it and would use again if needed but not needed in my current role
Pros: It was a system to help with environmental health and safety issues and tracking of Claims so it was a good system to use. I don’t currently use it
Cons: I don’t recall having any issues with it mostly my NHS manager used that I work in human resources so I partnered with the DHS manager on a lot of issues
Victoria H. · HR Manager at this job · Airlines/Aviation · February 25, 2026
EHS Hero is a great improvement over the preceeding EnviroBLR. There is much broader coverage of state regulations and the resources available have been greatly expanded and are easier to access.
Pros: Comprehensive coverage of state regulations, which is a great improvement over the old EnviroBLR. Direct connection to regulations. Much improved user interface.
Cons: Two step log in when you hit a link. Log in credentials should be embedded in original email to allow quicker access.
Nick B. · Senior Environmental Manager - North America · Chemicals · November 11, 2025
I find EHS Hero to be a useful resource for improving safety and training programs and for catching up with industry news.
Pros: EHS Hero is my go to resource for training resources whether I need to develop a new program or refresh an old program. There are a variety of resources available for either. I also find the industry news helpful for a quick glance at what is happening every day.
Cons: There are so many resources, it can be overwhelming at first but they offer training and are available for questions if you need help.
Tami W. · Safety Manager · Aviation & Aerospace · November 6, 2025
100% utilization with continuous customer support was our success. In EHS, products come and go but after many years of success, we will not change.
Pros: A great value for the money. Tremendous customer service and support team. EHS Hero is very easy to utilize across any organization. The Form creation option is a huge benefit for compliance regulations. User interface and contractor management is a significant benefit. Their real time notification systems helps to drive EHS improvement
Cons: I honestly did not find anything that was not relevant to the Environmental Health and Safety process.
TERRY Y. · Vice President EHS · Environmental Services · November 5, 2025
EHS Hero was in place when I first started. The system was relatively easy to use and had decent content, but eventually we moved away from it due to costs and finding something that worked better for our site.
Pros: Long videos that covered OSHA required safety training. Large selection of toolbox talks and various topics that cover a wide selection of industries.
Cons: Some of the videos were old, lethargic, and had outdated, irritating, and repetitive background music.
Joseph P. · EHS Compliance Specialist · Consumer Goods · October 7, 2025
So far, so good. Getting more familiar with navigating the offerings, but learned of so many other key features today that I am looking forward to tapping into them as well! Thanks!
Pros: Love the quick hit overview of what EHS Hero has updated. As a new user in my new company, I have been really impressed with your offerings, but appreciated getting a more specific overview from you, the experts, on the site.
Cons: Nothing really. Just pretty quick in taking notes and I likely missed some of the information. Will just have to jump in and research the sections discussed.
Linda S. · Sr. Risk Control and Business Development Consultant · Insurance · May 23, 2025
Great Program (ONLINE EHS Hero). The Managing Editor needs to focus on the programs and process. Not continuing down the same path of over-spending and complaining about YOUR BOSS and the current President.
Pros: The whole website has some great products and is very useful. I appreciate the SDS Options and also the many toolbox talks.
Cons: The OPEN House is a propaganda show. EXTREMELY disappointed in the current administration bashing that took place! How about discuss what is on this platform and how to handle the new regulations vs complaining about everything!
Brenda W. · Aviation Safety Officer · Airlines/Aviation · May 22, 2025
I thought the sales staff were helpful and not overly pushy. The biweekly updates on regulations, which I use the most, are clear and easy to read.
Pros: The updates on EHS regulations is extremely important for us especially the state regulations.
Cons: I don't have issues. Since we are a large company, we don't have as much use for the examples and templates, but I can see how useful they would be to a smaller company.
Brian W. · Vice President of Environmental Health and Safety · Wholesale · April 10, 2025
in my opinion it is a good platform with some quirks that I could not get around
Pros: the reporting aspect of the software was phenomenal
Cons: it is very hard for me to learn how to navigate the system
Mike B. · Director of Regulatory, Compliance and Risk Mitigation · Chemicals · December 12, 2024
EHS Hero has more benefits than I take advantage of. I hope to spend more time using it in the future.
Pros: The environmental updates and safety training resources are great.
Cons: I have no complaints about EHS Hero. I have contacted customer support several times and always received great service.
Bruce G. · Safety Coordinator · Plastics · August 10, 2023
Muy buena experiencia de manejo, funcionalidad,ahorro de tiempo y optima
Pros: Su funcionalidad y optimización son buenas con funciones muy optimas
Cons: No tengo ninguna objeción con este producto
Jose G. · Design · Design · December 14, 2022
The training and policy documents save me a lot of time. By using these resources I do not have to write all the information myself.
Pros: The pre-written safety policies and training documents are very valuable to me as I am a one-person team.
Cons: There are many of the resources in Spanish but would like to see more of the training and policy resources in Spanish.
Cindy B. · Plant Manager · Textiles · September 22, 2022
Pros: Easy to use and find information. Federal and state specific information. Customizable forms.
Cons: Training options for users and setting up users.
Cari C. · HR Manager · Hospitality · September 22, 2022
All training needs.
Pros: All I need to train my employees. I don't have to search everywhere else to train it's there for me with such a great general industry library.
Cons: You don't get the whole system where I can only get so much approved I know BLR offers more that I am unable to take advantage of.
Michelle B. · HSE Specialist · Medical Devices · December 9, 2021
Terrible compared to SAFETY BLR. I used to have an employee newsletter that I can customize and now that feature is gone with the money we paid. I thought we paid for the same service I had with Safety BLR. Now I pay the same price with fewer features.
Pros: None, when being a user of SAFETY BLR for years and compare to EHS HERO.
Cons: SAFETY BLR was easier to navigate much clearer for finding things. This EHS HERO is terrible and it takes longer to download material.
Victor M. · Safety Manager · Industrial Automation · November 23, 2021
Overall what features I really needed for our safety program are not here. Sure its inexpensive but one reason we chose this was our old system was outdated VHS tapes from the same company. Right after we purchased there is a new option called Basic Safe which you should not have to pay extra for; should be all inclusive.
Pros: It was inexpensive. It has a place to store and research what pages you can use to start building a safety manual; if needed. It does have the tool box talk pages and you can get assistance from other safety experts regarding questions about OSHA laws. They will give you the link to the citation.
Cons: The training aspect. The videos were cumbersome to look up. Then once bookmarked you cant just download onto your own computer for a quick and dirty way to keep training straight. There are also too many options on the training subjects. If I am looking for lock out tag out then just give me one option per say - not three. A lot of the content on here can be found when you join NSC.
Andrea H. · Buyer/EHS Coordinator · Machinery · November 4, 2021
We have been working with BasicSafe since 2014. We have enjoyed seeing them expand over time and increase their capabilities. We love growing with BasicSafe and are looking forward to continued success in the future. The staff has been a pleasure to work with!
Pros: The software has been tailored to meet the needs of customers and is easy to use. BasicSafe is well-known for their service and support, making this a wonderful company to work with all around!
Cons: We currently don't have any issues in this area!
Lara N. · Brand Journalist · Marketing and Advertising · August 20, 2018
organizational excellence. I know it sounds like a sales pitch but it did work as sold.
Pros: I used basicsafe on a daily basis for six years. The format is easy to use and enabled my company to totally eliminate all hardcopy procedure manuals, sds sheets and forms. Nice huh. Our five location remote facilities staff was able to bring up the most current procedures, regulations and forms. Training was easy for all from office to floor. If they have a smart phone they will be able to use this software. Bonus- AIB , USDA and customers all appreciated the ease of finding documents too. We expanded it into using for audits, work orders and corrective actions. Quality product.
Cons: Needs better ability to bring large photos into it. We were doing visual workplace and large photos were tough.
Anonymous User · Seeking Quality Assurance/Control Position · February 9, 2018
Pros: "There were two key factors why Amalgamated Sugar chose BasicSafe, the service and support which has been and continues to be outstanding and their excellent products which are continually improved."
Cons: Currently not able to use the audit tool when internet is not available. Offline capabilities for rural site audits would allow us to complete the entries on site.
Kimberly T. · Assistant District Safety Manager · January 9, 2018
Pros: Easy to use and easy to train others. The audit tool, action tool, and incident tool are very user friendly.
Cons: Cannot load multiple images to a specific sequence in the lockout tool. I would like the ability to upload multiple action plans at once.
Jennifer R. · Safety Services Manager · January 6, 2018
Easy for operators to find the LOTO checklists.
Pros: In the LOTO Module, the ability to add photos to the LOTO checklist. The ability to search for equipment names in the LOTO module makes it much easier for our operators to find the checklists.
Cons: We can't upload our current checklists into the system, we have to start from scratch, but that's more because of our current checklist system rather than an issue with BasicSafe.
Kimberly B. · EHS Manager · October 6, 2017
Time saver! All safety items in nice and neat bundles.
Pros: It's easy to use; even for folks who haven't used computers much. I like the follow up training for each tool, great way to remind folks of the features in each tool when they might have forgotten.
Cons: During a search in the incident tool, once you've clicked into an incident and you try to go back to the search screen/info on that screen, it disappears. You have to re-enter the search. It would be nice to have it retain the search in order to go back/forth easier.
