INDUSTRIAL & MANUFACTURING
Where operations never stop, communication shouldn’t either.
Shifts, plants, contractors and operating teams connected through a trusted channel to report and address situations that could affect people’s safety, business continuity, OEE and the company’s integrity.
Ignored safety risks
Substance use in the plant
Breaches of operating procedures
Misuse or theft of fixed assets
Inventory tampering or theft
One plant. Different areas.
One goal: detect issues before they hit operations.
Maintenance
Skipped maintenance, misuse of spare parts and practices that compromise equipment availability.
Production
Operational breaches, altered processes and conduct that affect safety, quality, output and OEE.
Warehouse
Theft, unreported shrinkage, inventory tampering and irregular material movements.
Quality
Release of out-of-spec product, skipped controls and altered records or results.
Procurement
Conflicts of interest, favoritism, bribes and improper deals with suppliers.
It’s not perception. It’s data.

Your people are the radar closest to operations.
Everyone inside the plant can spot situations that traditional controls don’t always catch. Giving them a voice lets you identify and address risks before they escalate.
Safety violations
Skipped protocols, improper PPE use, bypassed lockouts or unsafe conditions that put people and operations at risk.
Alcohol and substance use
Use or presence of substances during the shift that compromises safety, performance and work quality.
Theft and misuse of assets
Theft or misuse of the plant’s inventory, tools, spare parts, fuel or equipment.
Violence, threats and harassment
Intimidation, abuse of authority, retaliation, aggression or inappropriate conduct among employees.
Quality manipulation
Altered records, tests or results; release of out-of-spec product or skipped controls.
Conflicts of interest and suppliers
Favoritism, undisclosed relationships, bribes or improper benefits in purchasing and hiring.
How Ethic Lines works
Behind every report there’s a team of professionals, not just a platform. This is what happens from the moment someone reports until the case closes.
01We receive
Your people report through whichever channel suits them: phone, voicemail, email or web platform. Available 24/7 and anonymous if they choose.
02We audit
A team of specialists reviews every report, classifies it and confirms it has the information needed to act.
03We inform
We securely notify only the designated people, with the case ready for decisions.
04We follow up
Every case is logged on the platform until it closes, with status visibility and regular reports.
Every report is received by a team of professionals —criminologists, sociologists, psychologists— who audit it and hand it to you ready to act on, with follow-up until the case closes.
Nobody is going to tell you.
Unless they have somewhere to.
Give your people a safe channel to tell you.
