Why SBN for manufacturing
Built for manufacturing safety and compliance
Unlike a lot of “comprehensive” systems that are just generalized digital forms, the SBN system is designed by Manufacturing industry operational and safety leadership veterans. The SBN system is purpose-built to truly handle the critical capabilities needed to better manage Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) procedures, clearances, permits, inspections and compliance reporting—keeping your workforce protected and your processes efficient.

- Manage Safe Work Permits (e.g. Confined Space, Hot Work) from start-to-job complete
- Conduct Customized Site and Equipment inspections
- Track Safety Meetings, Trainings, and Toolbox Talks
- Manage Incidents, Near Misses and Safety Observations

Our mobile, QR, and web-based platform allows your team to seamlessly collaborate and conduct evaluations, observations, manage equipment assets, track tasks, and coordinate with compliance personnel in one secure, centralized system.
Push-button reporting using Simple But Needed’s utilities management software.
Ensure compliance with OSHA, NFPA, and ISO requirements using pre-built or customizable templates and libraries.
Compliance Reporting Made Easy
Choose from pre-configured and regulatory library templates for safety, maintenance, or outage inspections—or build your own to match internal processes, policies and protocols. Schedule and track compliance task execution and results. Generate compliance reports and audit documentation in just a click.
Documentation Done Right
SBN helps manufacturing plants maintain a complete digital record of inspections, LOTO procedures, and incident tracking.
Need to generate emergency response or audit documentation? Track site or service line evaluations? Coordinate routine safety walkthroughs? Our tools help bring all of that together under one roof. Built-in tools enable push-button access to all of your routine safety records—like OSHA 300 and other incident documentation, confined space entrant logs, LOTO clearance logs, and regulatory compliance tasks -without additional plugins or paperwork.
Efficiency Gains
Let your workforce focus on safety and uptime while SBN streamlines the rest. SBN users in the manufacturing sector report efficiency gains of up to 75% for inspection and maintenance workflows, task tracking, and report generation.
Data Your Way
Use dashboards to uncover operational risks, compare performance across service areas, schedule auto-delivered reports to stakeholders, export custom filtered reports for deeper analysis or integrate to your analytics systems, e.g. PowerBI or Tableau using our fully API enabled platform.
