Idea Management for safety: Turn near misses into your best leading indicator

Idea management for safety teams: operators report hazards, unsafe conditions and near-miss ideas from the app, and each one is tracked until it is fixed.

THE OLD WAY VS. THE LEANSUITE WAY

Are your near misses going unreported?

The old way

  • The spreadsheet chaos

    Hazards and near misses get lost on paper forms or are never reported. Every unreported near miss is a warning nobody acts on.

The LeanSuite way

  • The LeanSuite solution

    Employees report hazards and near misses in one place, and you manage the corrective actions through to completion.

CLOSED-LOOP SAFETY

Close the loop on every safety observation

Every safety observation is captured, reviewed and resolved in one workflow.

Step 1: Capture Safety Improvement Ideas

Let the people on the floor flag risks early

Operators see risks first. They type or speak a safety idea on the mobile app, add a photo, and earn points. Lean AI can describe the hazards it sees in the photo.

Step 2: Evaluate for Safety Impact

Assess and approve safety improvement ideas

Each suggestion goes to the right reviewer, who approves it, rejects it with feedback, or adds an approver for a second opinion.

Step 3: Assign & Launch Safety Project

Turn approved safety ideas into projects

Add an implementor and mark it complete, or initiate a safety project with the link to the original idea kept.

SAFETY CULTURE

Get more people sharing safety ideas

Campaigns, points, a leaderboard and a prize catalogue make hazard reporting something the whole floor takes part in.

  • Safety campaigns, with a hand safety month to find and fix pinch points that has 17 reports from 12 people so far

    Launch safety-focused campaigns

    Run a campaign on one issue, with dates and a points multiplier, to focus the floor where it matters.

  • Suggestion points settings: 50 for submitting, 100 approved, 200 implemented, 500 for savings over $5,000

    Award points for every action

    Set points per stage and role: for submitting, for approval and for the savings once implemented.

  • Live monthly safety leaderboard ranking employees by hazard reports, trainings completed and points

    Gamify with a live leaderboard

    A monthly leaderboard recognizes your top safety champions.

  • Prize catalog of 12 prizes priced in points, with a $25 gift card being redeemed for 2,500 of an employee's 3,150 points

    Build a custom prize catalogue

    Employees redeem points for prizes you choose. Admins set stock levels and approve each redemption.

Idea form settings: each field shown or hidden and set as required or optional, with a list of field types to add

flexibility and control

Start simple, add rigor as you grow

Start with a two-field form and add detail as your program matures. Admins choose which fields show and which are required.

Each idea opens in a side window with its labels, priority, approvers and implementors, attachments and an activity log.

LEAN AI

Let Lean AI sort the submissions

Lean AI reads each submission, so reviewers spend less time sorting and more time answering.

AUTOMATE TRIAGE

Group similar safety ideas automatically

Lean AI reads every report and groups similar safety suggestions, so you can spot systemic risks and act on them in bulk.
