# Safety & Compliance: Verify Every Protocol with Supa

> Use Supa to enforce safety protocols, verify hazard checks with GPS and photo proof, and build a culture of compliance across your distributed workforce.

Supa gives distributed teams a mobile-first command center to run, verify, and measure safety operations in real time. This page explains how you can use Supa to enforce protocols, collect photo evidence, report incidents instantly, and build a lasting culture of compliance across every location.

## The challenge

Safety incidents happen when checks are skipped or completed without verification. Paper-based reports can't prove that a hazard walk actually occurred, who signed off, or when. Managers only learn about problems after they become costly incidents — or worse, injuries.

## How Supa helps

Supa closes the gap between a safety procedure and proof that it happened:

* **GPS-verified checklists** confirm that a safety walk was completed at the right location, not filled in from the car park.
* **Mandatory photo evidence** on safety-critical steps means every hazard check includes a timestamped image.
* **Real-time incident reporting** through Issues lets anyone on the floor log a hazard or near-miss instantly from their phone.

## Key use cases

* **Daily safety walk checklists** with required photo proof at each step, GPS-stamped to the location.
* **Hazard identification and instant reporting** using Issues — log, assign, and track every reported hazard to resolution.
* **Safety induction training** delivered on mobile before new starters begin work, with completion tracking for managers.
* **Heads Up alerts** for urgent safety notices such as an equipment recall or a new regulatory requirement, with read receipts to confirm delivery.
* **Analytics dashboards** showing safety audit scores by location over time, so you can spot declining sites before incidents occur.

## Getting started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create safety checklists for each role and location">
    Use the checklist builder or Supa AI to generate role-specific safety walk checklists. Assign each checklist to the relevant locations and schedule them on the required cadence.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable GPS and photo requirements on safety-critical steps">
    For each high-risk step in a checklist, turn on GPS verification and set photo proof as mandatory. Submissions without a photo or from the wrong location will be flagged automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build a safety induction training course">
    Upload your existing induction materials or use AI to generate a mobile-ready course. Assign the course to new starters and require completion before their first shift.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up an Incident Report issue type">
    Create an "Incident Report" issue type with fields for hazard category, severity, and supporting photos. Configure auto-assignment to the relevant manager or safety officer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure analytics alerts for declining audit scores">
    Set up a location-level analytics dashboard tracking safety audit scores over time. Enable alerts to notify managers when a location's score drops below your defined threshold.
  </Step>
</Steps>
