Corrective Action Tracking Software
No more spreadsheets.
Ditch the spreadsheets. Give every recommended action a clear owner, an automated deadline reminder, and a bulletproof path to closure—without chasing people down.
VisiumKMS corrective action tracking software — the Resolution Tracker — gives industrial operators complete visibility into every open action item across the organization.
From audit findings to incident recommendations to post-startup activities, every action is assigned, tracked, and closed in a single configurable system. No spreadsheets. No email chains. No overdue items falling through the cracks.
Why Action Tracking Fails in Industrial Operations
Industrial EHS and Process Safety programs generate hundreds—sometimes thousands—of recommended actions every year. They come from incident investigations, PHA and HAZOP reviews, compliance audits, management of change, and regulatory inspections.
Most of them get tracked in a spreadsheet.
The problems are predictable:
- Actions fall through the cracks. No single owner. No automated reminder. No escalation when a deadline passes.
- Ownership is assumed, not assigned. When the person who “owned” an action changes roles or leaves, the action disappears with them.
- There is no audit trail. When a regulator asks for documented closure, teams spend days reconstructing evidence from email threads and shared drives.
The consequences are not administrative. Missed corrective actions are a direct cause of repeat incidents, regulatory citations, unplanned shutdowns, and equipment damage. In refining and chemical process operations, a single unplanned shutdown can cost millions in lost production per day. Unresolved process safety recommendations have contributed to fires, explosions, and fatalities.
If this sounds familiar, your team is spending significant time chasing actions—and some are still getting missed.
VisiumKMS Resolution Tracker gives your team a single system to track, own, escalate, and close every corrective action—regardless of where it originated.
- Identify ownership of every action — who is responsible, when it’s due, and what completion requires
- Automatically route actions from audits, incident investigations, risk assessments, and MOC workflows
- Clarify closure requirements with structured workflow steps and sign-off controls
- Stop chasing sign-offs. Automated escalation and deadline reminders do the nagging for you, ensuring approvals move forward without manual follow-up.
- Generate audit-ready action status reports across sites, workgroups, and time periods
Automate end-to-end corrective and preventive action management
VisiumKMS helps industrial facilities automate end-to-end corrective and preventive action management. Industrial programs — EHS, Process Safety Management, Operational Risk Management — demand uncompromising efficiency in tracking and closing actions. Every overdue recommendation is a compliance exposure. Every untracked action is a liability.
Change Management Tracker
Stop digging through disconnected databases, old emails, and siloed software to build your compliance reports. VisiumKMS centralizes corrective and preventive action (CAPA) tracking from MOC, audits, risk assessments, and incident investigations into a single system—giving you audit-ready reports in a single click.
The consequences are significant: repeat incidents from unaddressed findings, regulatory citations for open corrective actions, and audit failures caused by incomplete records. Organizations that close actions consistently outperform those that don’t — in safety performance, compliance outcomes, and operational reliability.
Standards and Regulations
Corrective and preventive action management is a documented requirement under multiple regulatory frameworks governing industrial operators:
➥ OSHA PSM (29 CFR 1910.119)
Requires documented action tracking for incident investigation findings, PHA recommendations, compliance audit findings, and pre-startup safety review items.
➥ EPA RMP (40 CFR Part 68)
Parallel requirements for action closure and documentation in chemical facilities.
➥ ISO 45001 / ISO 14001
Corrective action processes are core requirements for occupational health & safety and environmental management system certification.
➥ CCPS Guidelines
Center for Chemical Process Safety guidelines for PSM programs explicitly require systematic tracking and closure verification for all safety recommendations.
Use Cases
Use Case 1 — Audit Corrective Actions
Every audit finding generates an action item assigned to a responsible party with a target closure date. Escalation rules ensure overdue items surface automatically. Closure requires documented evidence — no self-certification.
Use Case 2 — Incident Investigation Follow-Through
Incident investigation findings are routed directly into the Resolution Tracker as action items. Each recommendation is owned, tracked to closure, and linked back to the originating incident record for full traceability.
Use Case 3 — MOC Action Tracking
Management of Change workflows generate pre-startup and post-startup action requirements. Resolution Tracker ensures every MOC action item is completed before and after change implementation — a direct PSM compliance requirement.
Use Case 4 — Risk Assessment Recommendations
PHA, HAZOP, and JSA findings generate recommendations that feed directly into the Resolution Tracker. Teams can see all open risk-related actions in one view, prioritized by severity and deadline.
VisiumKMS Resolution Tracker is built to satisfy EHS protocol documentation requirements out of the box.
