You see the safety steps at the moment you need them, not in a document in the office. And when something is unsafe, you report it in a few steps and see what happens to it.
Safety steps that are followed at the line, every shift
Your safety rules are clear. The question is whether they are followed during a changeover, cleaning, or a breakdown at three in the morning. With the EZ-GO platform, the safety steps are part of the instruction and checklist the operator uses at the line, and he can report unsafe situations on the spot.
Where safety gets lost today
Safety procedures are in a binder, on a poster, or in a system the operator never opens. During a changeover with time pressure, a step is skipped, and nobody notices until something goes wrong.
A near miss is discussed at the coffee machine but never reported, because reporting means extra work after the shift. And a new or temporary employee learns the safe way of working from whoever happens to stand next to him. Many accidents start with behavior: a skipped procedure, too little attention to a risk, or protective equipment that is not worn. Safety awareness grows when safety is part of the daily work, more than through a one-time campaign. Read more about tools that raise safety awareness.
What changes with the EZ-GO platform
Safety rules are in a binder, not at the line
In the EZ-GO platform, the safety steps are part of the work instruction or checklist for the task itself. The operator sees them at the moment he needs them, with photos and in his own language. Critical steps can be set so that the operator confirms each one before he continues.
For maintenance tasks, for example, the lockout and tagout steps for each machine can be part of the instruction. Read more on the Maintenance technician page. Lockout and tagout can also run as a digital checklist that the technician follows step by step. Read more about digital lockout and tagout procedures.
Near misses are discussed, but not reported
When an operator sees an unsafe situation or a near miss, he reports it in the EZ-GO app right away, with a photo. The report is linked to the process it is about, and the operator involves the people who need to act on it. They get an email. The operator who reported it can follow what happens to his report. He can also tag it, for example as a near miss, so safety reports are easy to filter later. Read how reports are followed up on the Continuous improvement page.
You assume the safety rules are followed, but you do not know
A safety audit or safety walk in the EZ-GO app checks an area against the safety standard you set, with a score for each point. Because every walk uses the same points, you see whether safety improves over time and where it needs attention. Read how scores work on the Audits and compliance page, and how to run a safety walk on the Kaizen and gemba page. For the points to check, such as guards, light curtains, and emergency stops, see this checklist for safety devices.
New people learn safety from whoever stands next to them
A new or temporary employee follows the same instruction as an experienced colleague, in his own language. With automatic translations, AI translates the text of an instruction into the language of the user. The digital skills matrix shows who is qualified for a critical task.
