The Report an Incident feature lets you record safety incidents in Employment Hero. You can include details like the event type, the place, and the injury. Your organisation's Health and Safety contact will receive the details of your submitted incident and review the provided information. To read further details on how to set up a Health and Safety contact, refer to the following article.
All users can raise anonymous incidents within Safety Incidents. Your identity is hidden to managers and will only be shown to admin/owners and those who have been granted permission.
