MOST SITE INCIDENTS DON'T HAPPEN INSIDE A COMPANY. THEY HAPPEN BETWEEN THEM.
The Seam Audit is a free 54-point diagnostic that finds the coordination gaps nobody owns on a multi-employer site—handover, check-ins, sequencing, permits, hazard communication and emergency response.

THE SEAM BETWEEN COMPANIES
EVERYONE KNOWS THEIR OWN JOB. THE GAP IS WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN THEM.
Two crews meet.
A shift changes.
One contractor finishes and another begins.
A permit changes hands.
Equipment enters a shared work area.
An emergency crosses company boundaries.
Everyone assumes somebody else has it.
That pause is the seam.
WHAT IT CHECKS
54 CRITERIA · SIX COORDINATION POINTS
FIND WHERE OWNERSHIP GETS LOST.
01 — SHIFT & CREW HANDOVER
03 — WORK SEQUENCING & SPATIAL CONFLICT

BUILT FOR MULTI-EMPLOYER WORK
Site Supervisors · Superintendents · Project Managers · Safety Leads · Owners' Representatives
For construction, mining and industrial sites where multiple companies, crews and scopes have to operate as one system—even when the org chart says they don't.
BUILT FROM THE FIELD
COORDINATION PROBLEMS DON'T LIVE IN THE ORG CHART.
Russell Industrial Solutions builds practical systems around the gap between what an organization says should happen and what actually happens in the field.
The Seam Audit focuses specifically on the spaces where responsibility becomes shared, assumed or unclear.
Because “everybody knew” isn't the same as somebody owning it.
