Every stop-work event creates a documented trail and triggers investigation. That's enforcement.

SWA Events Don't Disappear. They Create Accountability.

Every company has a stop-work policy. Few can prove it works. In VETTED, every SWA event is documented in real-time, automatically creates corrective actions, triggers investigation workflows, and builds the audit trail regulators demand. Stop-work authority isn't just a policy — it's enforced.

The Problem

A Stop-Work Policy Without Enforcement Is Just a Poster on the Wall

The SWA gap: policy without enforcement

Your policy says every worker can stop unsafe work. But when they do, what happens? In most organizations, the event is informal — maybe mentioned in a toolbox talk, maybe not. No documented trail. No corrective action created. No investigation triggered. When OSHA asks "How many stop-work events occurred last quarter?", you're guessing. In VETTED, every SWA event is captured, investigated, resolved, and tracked. That's enforcement of your own safety culture.

FAQ

Common Questions

What is Stop Work Authority?

SWA is every worker's right to stop work when they observe unsafe conditions. VETTED digitizes this to document, track, and measure usage.

How does digital SWA improve culture?

When workers see SWA events documented and resolved without retaliation, participation increases 3-5x.

Can SWA trigger corrective actions?

Yes. Every SWA event can auto-create a CAPA item to permanently correct the condition.

How do you measure effectiveness?

Track frequency by site, resolution time, retaliation incidents, and correlation with incident rates.
