Safety Audit Automation
Safety audit software development for the whole audit program
Audits get done, but findings sit in spreadsheets, actions go overdue and nobody can show the trend. Agnotic Technologies builds AI-powered inspection and audit automation that runs the whole program: schedules, checklists, scoring, findings, corrective actions, evidence and reports.

What is safety audit automation software?
Safety audit automation software runs an EHS audit program from end to end: it schedules audits and inspections, serves scored checklists on a phone, reviews photos with AI, turns findings into tracked corrective actions and reports trends across sites. Agnotic Technologies provides safety audit software development for teams that want it built around their own protocols.
EHS audit automation is less about the form and more about what happens around it: who is due to audit what, which findings are still open, and whether the same hazard keeps coming back.
Audit calendar
Which audits and inspections does the program schedule?
A sample of the calendar the software builds. Rows marked as regulatory follow OSHA general industry rules; the rest follow your own program, and your EHS team sets every frequency.
| Audit or inspection | What sets the frequency | Who performs it | Evidence kept |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy control procedure review | Regulatory: at least annually, 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(6) | An authorized employee other than the ones using the procedure | Certification with machine, date, employees and inspector |
| Portable fire extinguishers | Regulatory: visual check monthly, maintenance yearly, 29 CFR 1910.157(e) | Facility or safety staff | Monthly check results and the annual maintenance date |
| Forklifts and other industrial trucks | Regulatory: before use, at least daily or each shift, 29 CFR 1910.178(q)(7) | The operator | Pre-use checklist and defects reported |
| Portable ladders | Regulatory: before first use in each shift, 29 CFR 1910.23(b)(9) | The user or a supervisor | Defective ladders tagged and removed |
| Area safety walk | Your program: weekly or monthly per area | Supervisors and safety representatives | Scored checklist, photos and findings |
| Contractor and permit work audit | Your program: per job or sampled | EHS staff | Permit checks, photos and findings |
| Cross-site program audit | Your program: yearly or per your management system | Auditors from another site or the EHS lead | Audit report, scores and corrective actions |
Other OSHA standards, state plans and your own management system add rows. We load the calendar with your EHS team, not from a template.
AI photo review
How does AI review audit photos?
Auditors attach photos to checklist items. A vision model looks at each photo for the hazards your program names, such as a blocked exit, a missing guard, a fire extinguisher out of place or a person without the required protective equipment, and suggests a finding.
The model never closes or scores an item on its own. The auditor confirms, edits or dismisses each suggestion, and those decisions are kept to test and retrain the model on your sites.
Scoring
How are findings scored?
An example severity model. Your EHS team sets the levels, the response times and who is alerted.
02
High
Example: Fire extinguisher blocked or missing its monthly check
Approach: Corrective action with a short due date and escalation if it slips
03
Medium
Example: Housekeeping that narrows a walkway
Approach: Corrective action assigned to the area supervisor
04
Observation
Example: Good practice or a minor note
Approach: Recorded for trends, with no action required
Finding to closure
What happens after a finding is raised?
Each finding follows the same path, so nothing waits in someone's inbox.
Raised
The auditor records the finding on the checklist item, with severity, photos and location.
Assigned
A corrective action goes to the owner of the area or equipment, with a due date set by severity.
Fixed
The owner records what was done and attaches evidence, such as a photo of the repaired guard.
Verified
The auditor or EHS lead checks the evidence, then closes the action or sends it back.
Escalated
Overdue actions move up the chain automatically, by the rules your program sets.
Trended
Closed findings feed the reports, so repeat hazards by area, shift or contractor show up.
What do we build into safety audit software?
The program layer around the checklist, built for your sites and protocols.
Audit calendar
Audits and inspections scheduled by area, asset, shift and frequency, with reminders and overdue flags.
Checklist builder
Your protocols as scored checklists, versioned so old audits keep the questions they were run with.
AI photo review
Hazard suggestions on audit photos for the auditor to confirm or dismiss.
Corrective action tracker
Owners, due dates, evidence, verification and escalation for every finding.
Evidence store
Photos, signatures and certifications kept with the audit they belong to, ready for an inspector.
Trend reporting
Scores and repeat findings by site, area, shift and contractor.
Offline mobile capture
Audits run on phones and tablets without signal and sync when back in range.
Integrations
Work orders to your CMMS, people and areas from your HR and asset systems, and incidents from your EHS system.
Reporting
What should safety audit reports show?
The questions leaders ask, answered from the audit data rather than a monthly spreadsheet.
- Audits completed against the calendar, by site and area
- Open corrective actions by severity and age
- Repeat findings in the same area or on the same asset
- Scores over time for each checklist
- Findings by contractor, shift and hazard class
- Regulatory inspections that are due, done or overdue

Facts and sources
Facts behind the audit calendar
OSHA general industry rules that set inspection frequencies, each linked to its primary source.
29 CFR 1910.147(c)(6) requires a periodic inspection of each energy control procedure at least annually, by an authorized employee other than the ones using it, and a certification naming the machine, the date, the employees included and the inspector.
Source: 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(6) (eCFR)29 CFR 1910.157(e) requires portable fire extinguishers to be visually inspected monthly and to get an annual maintenance check, with the annual maintenance date recorded and kept for one year after the last entry or the life of the shell, whichever is less.
Source: 29 CFR 1910.157(e) (eCFR)29 CFR 1910.178(q)(7) requires industrial trucks to be examined before being placed in service, at least daily, or after each shift where they run around the clock, with defects reported and corrected immediately.
Source: 29 CFR 1910.178(q)(7) (eCFR)29 CFR 1910.23(b)(9) and (10) require ladders to be inspected before initial use in each work shift, and a ladder with structural or other defects to be tagged "Dangerous: Do Not Use" and removed from service.

ScaleFrequently Asked Questions
The app is what the auditor uses to fill in a checklist. Safety audit automation is the program around it: the calendar, scoring, corrective actions, evidence, escalation and reports. We build both, and the app page covers the mobile side.
Yes. We turn your current protocols into scored checklists and keep each version, so audits run on an old version still show the questions that were asked.
No. The AI suggests possible hazards in a photo. The auditor confirms, edits or dismisses each suggestion, and only the auditor's decision counts toward the score.
Yes. A finding that needs maintenance work can open a work order in your CMMS, and its completion comes back to close or verify the corrective action.
Yes. Contractor and permit work audits run like any other audit type, and findings can be reported by contractor company so repeat issues are visible.
We do not publish prices. The number of sites and audit types, AI photo review, scoring rules, integrations and reporting decide the size, and we agree a fixed first release on the scoping call.
