Stop trading hours for administrative noise.
As a pipeline safety consultant or HSE attorney, your revenue is capped by your hours. Operators now require contractors to prove mature API RP 1173 programs before they will even bid a job. Today, you manage that proof with spreadsheets, shared folders, and text threads, which means you are not consulting, you are chasing signatures and rebuilding the same tracker every quarter.
Shift7 replaces that manual loop with software you license to every client. Same expertise, same standard, just packaged as an asset instead of a service.
The Gap Engine
A spreadsheet gap assessment is accurate for exactly one day. Shift7 keeps the score current automatically, pulling from your policy library, document control, MOC logs, training records, and audit responses every time something changes, across all 56 contractor safety elements.
Built-In Guardrails
Scores cannot outrun reality. If a required policy has not been written yet, that element is capped at Developing, no matter how much field activity shows up elsewhere. It is a structural check that keeps your scorecards defensible in front of an operator.
You are Always the Final Word
The engine calculates a score; you decide if it is right. Your override always wins and is never silently recalculated out from under you.
Multi-Tenant Environment Isolation
Run every client engagement from one login, without their data, scores, or documents ever crossing into another account. Switch between companies instantly from a single consultant view.
Each client's program stays completely private until you choose to share it, so contractors can flag their own gaps honestly, and you control exactly what the operator sees and when.
The Audits Module
The Gap Engine is a living workspace. Formal audits are not, once a finding is recorded, it needs to hold up.
Findings Carry Weight
A "No" or "Partial" finding in a formal audit caps that requirement's score until the corrective action is actually closed, so the dashboard cannot show progress that wasn't earned in the field.
Nothing Gets Quietly Edited
Completed audits lock. Any correction requires a written justification and creates a permanent, timestamped amendment record, so your client's file holds up under an operator's review.
Document Control and Policies
Every policy maps to one of the 56 elements, with exactly one current version at a time. No orphaned drafts, no "which version did the auditor actually see" conversations.
Update a policy and the engine archives the old version, bumps the revision, and refreshes every report that cites it. Your evidence list stays accurate without anyone re-linking anything by hand.
Closed-Loop MOC and Incident Tracking
Field changes made without a documented risk review are one of the most common operator findings. Shift7 turns each change into a structured record, risk assessment, operational tie-in, and training assignment, through one guided form.
Close out an MOC and the element it supports automatically moves to Sustaining. Real fieldwork becomes the proof, not a separate writeup about the fieldwork.
The same flow covers incident reporting. Supervisors log a near-miss with photos from their phone, and consultants can open an action item, equipment fix, or training assignment straight from that entry, before it has a chance to fall through the cracks.
Role-Based Access
Five access tiers, so the right person sees exactly what they need, and nothing the field crew touches can compromise your data.
- Admin: Full system control: configuration, billing, and record deletion.
- Manager: Operational visibility and approval authority over MOCs and policy changes.
- Safety Manager: Field program setup, training assignments, and gap assessments.
- Consultant: Full assessment and action-tracking tools, scoped to their own clients only.
- Field Hand: Mobile-only access for logging incidents and confirming training.
Built for Audit Defensibility
To withstand intense technical inspections by prime pipeline operators, Shift7 isolates and validates user entries through rigorous server-side checkpoints before data writes commit.
- Server-Side Tenant Isolation: Every database query inspects the active user context. Attempting to cross access data between separate contractor organizations results in an immediate 403 Forbidden rejection, protecting operational privacy.
- Unalterable Event Logs: Re-opening completed or frozen audit records triggers a mandatory verification checkpoint. The authorized user must submit a minimum 10 character statement, recording old values, new selections, identity details, and reasons in parallel to both ChangeLog and AuditLog storage.
- Algorithmic Negative Penalties: Audit infractions trigger direct database scoring caps. A finding of "No" automatically drops an element response to Level 1, enforcing computational policy integrity that human operators can easily defend.
