Industries: Manufacturing
Plant and EHS managers see floor findings the shift they are reported, and every fix has an owner and a due date.

The problem
The interlock you fixed in August is taped shut again, and an operator is reaching past the guard
- What changes
- At the next audit, findings that match the last one are flagged as repeats, so the fix goes to the root cause instead of another patch.
- How Stepo does it
- Team leaders speak each finding into the phone between stations, AI drafts the record and cites your lockout procedure, and every fix is tracked to closure.

What came back since the last audit
Reported between stations

Recordables on the OSHA 300
Incidents build each plant’s OSHA 300 log as you go, ready for the 300A. Early access
The return
What changes in a plant running Stepo
Fixes that hold
A repeat finding surfaces at the next audit, not at the next breakdown.
Cleaner changeovers
Each clearance photo gets a second look from AI before the supervisor signs, not after the wrong label ships. Early access
Time back for team leaders
The finding is on record before the next station, not written up after the shift.
One change, every plant
Change a recurring check once and every plant’s calendar picks it up, and you see any plant it did not reach.
Questions
Asked on every call
Does it cite our own lockout procedures?
Does the AI pass or fail the line?
How do we build the library?
Can we compare plants?

Start on one line
Run your next two layered audits on one line in Stepo. The second shows what came back since the first, and who owns each fix.
