Incident Management & Safety Improvement

Incident Management & Safety Improvement
Overview

A multi-site metal manufacturer was tracking incidents, near misses, and corrective actions across paper forms, email threads, and disconnected spreadsheets. Leadership had no real-time view of plant-floor safety, and root-cause follow-up routinely stalled. Knowella replaced the patchwork with a single mobile-first system that captures, investigates, and closes every incident.

The challenge

Frontline supervisors were spending hours reconciling reports by hand, and serious events often surfaced days after they happened. Without standardized investigations, the same hazards kept recurring across shifts and sites.

Incident reports lived on paper and took 3–5 days to reach EHS leadership.
No structured root-cause process, so corrective actions were inconsistent and rarely verified.
Zero cross-site visibility — recurring hazards went undetected for months.
The solution

Knowella digitized the entire incident lifecycle, from a 60-second mobile report on the plant floor to verified CAPA sign-off. Automated routing, structured 5-Why investigations, and live dashboards gave EHS leaders instant, organization-wide visibility.

Mobile incident capture with photos in under a minute
