The compliance number looks fine. The floor doesn't.

The audit says compliance is high, because that number comes from spot checks, and spot checks miss the five minutes someone worked without gloves, or without eye protection while cleaning, or in the wrong footwear near a machine. Four supervisors watching 200 workers across 40,000 square feet can't be present for every interaction, only the ones they happen to walk past.

WHAT THE GAP BETWEEN THE NUMBER AND THE FLOOR COSTS

Near-misses that never get logged, because nobody was there to see them.

The moment it stops being a near-miss: an actual injury, and a "compliant" audit trail that didn't reflect what was really happening on the floor.

Supervisors who know the number doesn't tell the whole story, but don't have the coverage to do anything more than spot-check.

OUR APPROACH

We monitor PPE compliance continuously across the floor, across shifts, catching the interactions a periodic walk-through or spot check misses.

Supervisors get a real-time view of where attention is actually needed, instead of a periodic snapshot that only reflects the moments someone happened to be watching.

We start with a defined pilot on the areas or shifts where the risk is highest, with one agreed metric for success.

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE ONCE IT'S RUNNING

Compliance reflects what's actually happening on the floor, not just what was checked.

Supervisors spend their attention on the interactions flagged as risky, instead of trying to watch everyone at once.

Fewer near-misses go unnoticed before they become something worse.
