Should you leave EcoOnline?

EcoOnline is a serious EHS platform, and in places it goes further than OpSemble: chemical safety (SDS authoring and distribution, not just a register), lone working with a monitoring centre behind it, and ESG and carbon reporting. If you’re multi-site, chemical-heavy or reporting on emissions, those are real reasons to stay. OpSemble is built for the business that needs a proper safety system without a procurement exercise.

People searching for an EcoOnline alternative tend to be one of two businesses: an SME that received a quote sized for a much bigger organisation, or a team that bought a platform larger than its day-to-day. EcoOnline sells to mid-market and enterprise organisations across construction, manufacturing, retail, logistics and utilities, and prices by quote.

OpSemble publishes its price. Health & Safety is £9 per user per month on top of the £29 platform fee, so a 25-person site team is £254 a month before VAT, with incidents and RIDDOR deadlines, risk assessments, RAMS, COSHH, permits, contractors, visitors, toolbox talks and an ISO 45001 register. Add Training for the same 25 people and it’s £404.

Because it’s one platform, the safety records know about everything else. An incident links the risk assessments and toolbox talks in force at the time, training completions update the HR record, and a contractor’s certificates are chased by the same system that lets them on site.

Frequently asked questions

Does OpSemble handle COSHH?

Yes. A chemical register with safety data sheets and exposure information, SDS extraction, and AI assistance to draft COSHH assessments. It doesn’t author safety data sheets; if you manufacture chemicals and need SDS authoring, EcoOnline is the stronger fit.

Is there a lone worker app?

Yes. Lone working is part of Health & Safety: start a check-in session from a phone, and if a check-in is missed your named contacts are alerted with your last known location. There’s no monitoring-centre contract; alerts go to your own people.

Can I import my risk assessments?

Yes. Existing risk assessment PDFs import into the register.

What does it cost for a 25-person team?

£29/month platform fee plus £9 per user for Health & Safety: £254 a month before VAT. Seats are per module, so only the people who use it are charged.

Is there a minimum contract?

No. Subscriptions run monthly and can be cancelled at any time, taking effect at the end of the current billing period. Early customers lock in their rate.
