Software ROI · Manufacturing — structural fabrication
A 400-employee structural fabricator faced 18 documented OSHA compliance gaps across machine guarding, lockout/tagout, and written programs. After deploying Provisio Core, the safety team tracked every gap to closure in 90 days—then used the same corrective-action system to achieve OSHA VPP Star status.

A 400-person structural steel fabricator had grown through two acquisitions without standardizing its safety program. OSHA compliance gaps—spanning machine guarding, lockout/tagout procedures, and required written programs—were scattered across spreadsheets and corrective-action emails with no system of record. The EHS manager knew the exposure existed but couldn't track remediation status across three facilities or demonstrate closure to operations leadership.
An internal gap assessment surfaced 18 documented OSHA deficiencies across three facilities. The EHS team needed to assign, track, and close every item before the next regulatory cycle—and prove it to senior leadership, who were skeptical that a fractured manual process could become audit-ready. Prior tracking attempts in spreadsheets had collapsed when corrective actions aged out with no follow-up.
The team deployed Provisio Core's corrective-action and compliance-tracking modules across all three facilities in under two weeks. Each of the 18 OSHA findings was entered as a tracked action item with an assigned owner, due date, and regulatory reference. The EHS manager ran a live dashboard showing open, overdue, and closed items—shared weekly with plant managers. Near-misses and observations fed into the same workflow, creating a continuous compliance loop instead of a one-time gap-close exercise.
All 18 OSHA compliance gaps were closed and verified within 90 days. With a documented corrective-action history and a functioning audit trail, the company applied for—and received—OSHA VPP Star recognition the following year, a credential that reflects sustained excellence rather than a snapshot audit pass. The EHS manager credits the platform's visibility and accountability loop for making the VPP submission viable.
“We couldn't have told the VPP story without the data trail Provisio gave us.”
