5 Signs You’ve Outgrown Paper Safety Processes

Paper-based safety systems may work for a while. But as your operations grow, they quickly become a liability. Here are five clear signs it’s time to go digital:

1. You’re Spending Hours Chasing Paperwork
If supervisors or office staff are constantly hunting down forms or manually entering data, you’re wasting valuable time that could be spent improving safety.

2. Important Info Is Getting Missed
Critical checks, incidents, or faults are slipping through the cracks because forms are incomplete, unreadable, or never handed in.

3. You Can’t Track Who Did What
Without individual accountability, it’s hard to know who completed a checklist, when they did it, or if it was done properly.

4. Your Teams Are Spread Across Sites
Multi-site operations make paper workflows a nightmare. Transporting, storing, and managing paperwork across locations is inefficient and risky.

5. Reporting Takes Days (Not Minutes)
If generating a safety report requires digging through folders and spreadsheets, you’re falling behind. Real-time visibility and reporting should be the norm.

So, what does going digital solve?
