CAPA Tracking

Every action. Every owner. Every closure

Audits, incidents, hazards, HIRAs, permits, customer commitments, regulatory findings, they all generate actions. Most of those actions sit in disconnected lists across email, spreadsheets, and stickies. SafetyConnect's CAPA Tracking pulls every one of them into a single register with owners, deadlines, escalations, and closure verification.

Why actions matter

The single source of truth your safety committee actually trusts

Safety committees fail not because findings aren't made, but because closure isn't tracked. Every audit produces actions. Every incident produces actions. Every hazard produces actions. By the time the committee meets monthly, the actions are scattered across five inboxes, three spreadsheets, and one person's memory.

CAPA Tracking is the connective tissue that makes the other four modules actually move the needle, by ensuring that what gets identified gets closed.

Capabilities

Capabilities built for closure, not for tracking

Centralised register
Every action from every source, audits, incidents, hazards, HIRAs, permits, customer commitments, regulatory findings, in one register. No more "where was that action again?"
Source-linked
Each action linked back to the originating record. Click through from an action to the incident it came from. When you close the action, the source record's closure status updates too
Owner accountability
Every action has one owner. Owners get reminders. Skip reminders get escalations. Reassignments require approval. No more "I thought you were doing that."
Automated escalation
Approaching deadlines trigger reminders. Overdue actions trigger escalation to the next level. Habitually overdue owners surface in management reports
Closure verification
"Closed" requires verification, photo, signature, or check by a designated verifier. No marking your own homework. Verification creates the audit trail your safety committee needs
Trend reporting
Closure rates by source, by owner, by site, by category, by month. Spot which area of your operation is generating actions faster than it's closing them
FAQ

Common questions on CAPA Tracking

Can actions be raised independently, not from another module?
Yes. Standalone actions are fully supported, a safety committee meeting decision, a management instruction, a customer commitment. Anything that needs an owner and a deadline can live in the register.
Does it integrate with our existing task management tools?
Yes, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Slack, ServiceNow, Jira, and most major work management platforms. Two-way sync so closure in either system updates the other.
How do we report on closure rates across sites?
Built-in dashboards show closure rates, average time-to-close, and overdue counts by site, region, owner, and source type. Custom reports configurable on Scale and Enterprise plans.
