Aberdeen-headquartered occupational health provider TAC Healthcare has acquired AgileKM, the software firm behind its iCOSHH chemical risk assessment platform. This has brought its iCOSHH and Action Tracking software together with TAC’s existing iOH Occupational Health platform.
COSHH is the UK regulation that requires employers handling hazardous chemicals to assess and manage the risks.
TAC and AgileKM already have a longstanding relationship, with AgileKM’s technology powering iCOSHH and action tracking throughout. This acquisition brings that technology fully in-house.
Phil Webb, CEO of TAC Healthcare, commented:
“We’ve been using AgileKM’s technology for some time. Bringing it in-house means we can enhance the proposition and provide more resources to grow it, so customers benefit from a single supplier and system for Occupational Health, iCOSHH, and Action Tracking.”
AgileKM was founded by Dr Trevor Runcie, who has spent more than 40 years in industrial IT across health and safety, environmental, and occupational medicine – with over three decades focused specifically on industrial hygiene software. In 2023, he completed an MSc in Health Data at Cambridge University, researching industrial hygiene data standards and their use in exposure modelling. He’ll continue supporting the transition and ongoing development of the platform.
