Incident Reporting & Investigation for Plumbing
The Incident Reporting & Investigation workflow helps plumbing contractors ensure safety events are managed consistently and effectively. It covers completing reports, interviewing crew members, inspecting tools and conditions, and implementing corrective measures. Supervisors oversee OSHA compliance and maintain records for audits. Findings are shared in team briefings to improve awareness and training. By standardizing this process, plumbing companies reduce risks, protect margins, and improve professionalism. Clients benefit from reassurance that safety is prioritized. With this workflow in place, plumbing contractors can strengthen credibility, improve efficiency, and deliver projects more reliably while building a culture of accountability.
