Incident escalation for regulatory compliance

Purpose

1. Automate incident escalation workflows to ensure every regulatory compliance breach or operational incident in junk removal is reported, tracked, and resolved within mandated timelines.

2. Automates notifications, documentation, and multi-level escalations to meet waste management legal requirements, protect the business, and avoid penalties.

3. Supports automated compliance audits by keeping verifiable, timestamped records of actions and communications.

4. Streamlines the automatable incident-to-resolution process, minimizing manual intervention, and ensures consistent application of escalation policies.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automated escalation when a regulatory compliance incident (e.g., illegal dumping, hazardous material mishandling, failure to document disposal) is detected.

2. Trigger is automatable from events such as failed inspections, customer complaints, sensor alerts, time-to-resolution exceeded, or employee whistleblowing.

3. Automates on both manual input (staff report) and automated data (IoT triggers, system exceptions).
