About HMS Nova

Built by EHS professionals.
For EHS professionals.

HMS Nova was created by a team who lived the frustration of managing workplace safety with spreadsheets, email threads, and paper binders. We built the platform we wished existed — modern, intuitive, and genuinely effective at preventing injuries and maintaining compliance.

Our Mission

Make workplace safety effortless — and compliance automatic

Every year, approximately 2.8 million workplace injuries are recorded in the US. Thousands of those are preventable. The barrier isn't awareness — most EHS managers know exactly what they need to do. The barrier is time, administrative burden, and systems that work against them.

HMS Nova removes that barrier. When OSHA recordkeeping takes minutes instead of hours, when risk assessments are completed on a phone instead of a desk, when training compliance is tracked automatically instead of manually — EHS managers can focus on what actually makes a difference: engaging workers and preventing incidents.

That's why we built HMS Nova for the US market — because American workers deserve the same level of protection that our Norwegian customers have had access to since 2020.

2.8 million US workplace injuries annually — most are preventable

OSHA fines exceeded $300M in 2023 — driven largely by recordkeeping and training failures

Companies with strong EHS programs report 20–40% lower injury rates

ISO 45001-certified companies see measurably better safety culture metrics

What we stand for

Safety first, always

Every product decision starts with a single question: does this make workplaces safer? Technology is a means to an end — the end is zero preventable injuries.

Radical simplicity

The best EHS software is the software people actually use. We obsess over removing friction from every workflow so compliance becomes the path of least resistance.

Customers as partners

Our product roadmap is driven by EHS professionals in the field. Every feature request is taken seriously. Every support interaction is a learning opportunity.

Global standards, local compliance

We built our platform to international standards (ISO 45001, ISO 9001) and layer on jurisdiction-specific requirements — starting with US OSHA and expanding further.
