EHS Hero product updates: what’s new in Q2 2025

At BLR, we continually strive to enhance the tools you rely on to manage compliance and foster safer, more efficient workplaces. This quarter, we introduced several user-focused updates across our EHS Hero platform, all designed to give you more flexibility, control, and clarity.

EHS Hero compliance updates

Regulatory Activity widget: smarter oversight right from your dashboard

You can now view proposed, upcoming, and final regulations directly from your dashboard, using the new Regulatory Activity widget located in the right-hand column. Select “View All” on the widget to see more details.

Once on the Regulatory Activity page, you can apply a new filter that will be reflected in the dashboard widget. Using filters enables you to customize your view based on categories or jurisdictions that are most important to your organization.

 

 

More configurable roles: fine-tuned access for your team

We’ve added new options in BLR HQ that give administrators greater control over user access and permissions across their teams.

From the main EHS Hero dashboard, you can access BLR HQ through “My Accounts,” located behind the arrow in the top right of the page. BLR HQ is your central hub for managing users, access, and reporting across your BLR subscriptions. This new admin hub streamlines administration by providing a single point of control for permissions, usage monitoring, and setting configuration, making it easier to support your teams and maximize the value of your subscription. subscription.

Admins can now update user permissions to allow or remove the ability to create Quick Links or Custom Collections.

• Quick Links are custom URLs that you can house within the Quick Links widget, located in the right-hand column of your EHS Hero dashboard, enabling you to quickly access helpful and frequently used links.
• Collections, represented by a star in your navigation bar, are a curated assortment of materials encompassing various types of training and resource materials. Users can also organize their preferred content into custom collections.

For system administrators, Super Admins (primary account holders) can assign specific administrative permissions such as user management only, utilization reporting only, or dashboard configuration only.

How to access user and admin permissions:

• Within the “Manage Users” section of BLR HQ, select the “Access Controls” option under the proper membership listed. Navigate through the next “Access Controls” option and locate the “Select Control Component” where you can set specific admin and user permissions, amongst other things.
• You can create custom Access Roles with specific access controls and then assign users to those groups, ensuring each user has the appropriate level of access based on their role.

These improvements are designed to give you greater control over your environment, allowing you to assign the right functionality to each team member. This ensures that managers and users can focus on the tools and information most relevant to their roles.
