Safety Management That Prevents, Not Just Records

Move beyond paper forms and reactive reporting. Houston helps you capture incidents and near-misses in real-time, track safety performance automatically, and prevent recurring hazards.

Safety incidents shouldn't be lessons learned too late

Most EHS teams face the same challenges:

Delayed, incomplete reporting

  • Paper forms filled out hours or days after incidents
  • Missing details (photos, witness statements, exact conditions)
  • Near-misses go unreported because reporting is too cumbersome

No visibility into safety trends

  • Safety metrics reviewed monthly, not monitored daily
  • Recurring hazards only spotted after multiple incidents
  • Leading indicators (near-misses, observations) not tracked systematically

Corrective actions lost in the shuffle

  • Actions tracked separately from incidents
  • No clear link between actions and safety improvement
  • Can’t demonstrate that corrective measures actually worked

The result: You’re documenting incidents instead of preventing them.

Capture Monitor Improve every safety process

Capture Incidents & Near-Misses Instantly

Build a complete EHS management system in minutes with Houston’s AI builder:

  • Mobile-first forms for immediate reporting from anywhere on site
  • Photo & video evidence captured at the scene
  • Location & equipment links – connect incidents to specific areas, machines, activities
  • Severity classification – automatic routing based on incident type
  • Witness statements – collaborative input from multiple people
  • Custom workflows – adapt to your EHS processes and regulatory requirements

Also supports: Safety audits, risk assessments, environmental incidents, permit-to-work, chemical tracking

Capturing EHS incidents with Houston

Monitor Safety Performance Automatically

Define EHS KPIs once, Houston tracks them 24/7:

Common Safety KPIs:

  • Incident rate (TRIR, LTIR, recordable incidents)
  • Near-miss reporting rate
  • Days without incident
  • Time to incident closure
  • Corrective action completion rate
  • Safety observation frequency

Automatic alerts when:

  • Incident rate exceeds threshold
  • Multiple incidents in same area or involving same hazard
  • Corrective actions overdue
  • Safety performance trending downward

Real-time dashboards for shift meetings, weekly safety reviews, or management visibility

Drive Systematic Prevention

Turn incidents into preventive action:

Create action plans directly from incidents

  • Assign corrective/preventive actions with clear ownership and deadlines
  • Track progress with status updates and completion evidence
  • Link actions to safety KPIs to measure impact

Measure what works

  • Compare incident rates before/after corrective actions
  • Track time-to-closure and recurrence prevention
  • Search past similar incidents and proven solutions

Build safety knowledge over time

  • Document hazards, root causes, and effective controls
  • Search historical incidents when similar situations arise
  • Share learnings across shifts, teams, and sites

Measurable impact on safety performance

Tangible Results:

  • More reporting, faster. Near-misses and incidents captured immediately, not hours later
  • Proactive prevention. Patterns detected early before serious incidents occur
  • Faster corrective action. 40-60% faster closure through systematic tracking
  • Better compliance. Complete audit trails and regulatory reporting ready on demand

Operational Benefits:

  • No IT dependency. EHS team builds and adapts their own system
  • Mobile-first. Report incidents at the scene, no paperwork delays
  • Audit-ready. Complete documentation and traceability
  • Scales across sites. Deploy standard safety processes with local customization

One platform for all EHS processes

Houston supports the full spectrum of EHS management:

  • Incidents & Near-Misses. Complete investigation workflows with evidence and action tracking
  • Safety Observations. Behavioral safety programs, safety walks, Gemba observations
  • Safety Audits. Finding capture, action tracking, audit scheduling and follow-up
  • Risk Assessments. Job safety analysis, risk registers, hazard identification
  • Permit-to-Work. Hot work, confined space, lockout/tagout management
  • Environmental Tracking. Environmental incidents, emissions monitoring, waste tracking
  • Training & Competency. Safety training compliance, skill matrices, certification tracking

All following the same Capture → Monitor → Improve pattern.
