this is how a sound SMS feels
Companies working with Capptions
four weeks before the inspection
Sound familiar?
Your SMS is fine on paper. Until the announcement letter lands on the mat.
Four to six weeks. Then the search begins: which procedure is current, which action is still open, where is the evidence. Every year again.
We have 1,800 documents from the past ten years and have lost the overview.
Ten sites, each with more than 400 open actions.
I feel like I have to be a jack of all trades.
Illustrative statements
Compliance drift, illustrative
The same sawtooth every year. Or an SMS that keeps up.
What standing still costs
A finding is never just a piece of paper.
Cat. 1
A chain on the gate
With a serious violation, work stops until it is resolved.

Ask your questionDoes AI take over the work of the HSE manager?
No. Capptions AI searches, compares and suggests. You check and sign off. The responsibility and the decision stay with you.
Who is legally responsible when AI helps write the SMS?
You are, just as without AI. Capptions AI searches, compares and suggests; a person checks and signs off. The policy carries the signature of the statutory director.
Do we have to rewrite our existing documents?
No. Your existing documents stay leading. Requirements, procedures, forms, findings and improvement actions are tied to them.
Where is our data stored, and who owns it?
In the EU, stored GDPR-proof. The data is yours and goes nowhere else. Capptions is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified.
How much time does onboarding take for our team?
The rollout takes ninety days, in four steps: baseline (day 1 to 14), set-up (day 15 to 45), the work floor (day 46 to 75) and a mock inspection (day 76 to 90). See the steps.
Does it also work for ISO 45001, next to Seveso?
Yes. You can digitize and automate your ISO 45001 compliance process with Capptions. Read more.
Can we start small?
Yes. If it fits, we start with a pilot at one site. Capptions works for one site and for twenty. Ardagh Group also started with a pilot, at its plant in Dongen: read how it went.
