Hazard or observation
Describe the unsafe condition rather than forcing it into an incident form.
Unsafe conditions & observations
Give hazards a clear route to resolution.
Let employees record unsafe conditions, safety observations and safety-related maintenance issues, then keep ownership and follow-up visible until the issue is addressed.

The operational problem
An unsafe condition can sit between “someone noticed it” and “someone owns it.”
Hazards and safety-related maintenance issues need a route from observation into responsibility and resolution. Ensure gives frontline teams a consistent reporting point while keeping the management follow-up connected.
What this capability covers
01
HazardsRecord an unsafe condition that needs attention.
02
Safety observationsCapture what a person has observed at the site.
03
Safety-related maintenanceReport a maintenance issue where the concern is part of the safety workflow.
04
Status & follow-upKeep ownership and progress visible through to resolution.
From observation to resolution
Identify → Report → Own → Resolve
The key is not simply collecting reports. It is making sure the issue has a visible management path afterwards.
- 01Identify
A frontline employee notices an unsafe condition or safety-related maintenance issue.
- 02Report
Record the issue in the appropriate Ensure reporting flow.
- 03Own
Make responsibility for the follow-up visible.
- 04Resolve
Track the issue and its resulting action through to closure.
At the frontline
Create a useful safety record of the condition that needs attention.
Maintenance context
Use this route where a maintenance issue is being managed as a safety concern.
Follow-up status
Keep the issue visible as ownership and resolution progress.
For managers and safety leaders
See what needs attention without blurring reporting categories.
- Keep hazards and safety observations distinct from incidents and near misses.
- Track safety-related maintenance concerns as part of the Ensure follow-up process.
- Connect corrective actions where the reported condition requires a defined action.
Keep the product boundary clear
Safety-related maintenance belongs here. General operational work stays in Operate.
Use Ensure when the maintenance issue is being reported and followed up as a safety concern. Broader operational standards, checks and day-to-day operating workflows remain in Operate .
