18 months ago, I got a call from a plant safety manager on a Sunday afternoon. He'd spent his entire weekend manually filling in OSHA 300 logs in Excel. Forty rows. Every field typed by hand. One transposed number or missed checkbox could mean a $15,000 fine.
That call stuck with me. This wasn't an isolated problem mid-market manufacturers (50 500 employees) are running their entire EHS compliance operation on spreadsheets, sticky notes, and institutional memory. There's enterprise software for the Fortune 500, and nothing in between.
Safety managers at mid-market manufacturers spend 40+ hours/month on OSHA paperwork — manually filling 300 logs, tracking deadlines, preparing 300A summaries, and filing EPA Tier II reports. One mistake means fines or citations.
Epostrix automates all of it. Describe an incident in plain English and it fills the OSHA 300 log, calculates TRIR/DART rates, and tracks deadlines automatically. Aria, our AI advisor, answers OSHA and EPA questions 24/7 with CFR citations. Free to start.

The problem: Manufacturers still run workforce ops across 4-5 disconnected tools paper schedules, Excel safety logs, separate time clocks, filing cabinets full of training records. When OSHA shows up for an audit, it's a fire drill.
