As a manager, it is important to have one central place where you can manage the safety reports your employees have submitted. These safety reports inform you of any serious workplace health and safety incidents that have occurred and provide you with insight into the effectiveness of your organisation's safety procedures.

The My Incident feature allows you to view the incident details, such as where it occurred, if it were personnel or a third party involved in this incident, and if anyone applied first aid. This feature also allows you to edit, review, delete, and print safety incident reports. You can generate these reports yourself, or the employees you manage can create these reports on your behalf.

  • HI,

    Is it possible to edit/add different Incident Types when reporting an incident? For Example, Harassment, Bullying, Cyber Incidents, etc.

    Currently incidents are only tailored for safety/physical hazards/injury.

    Thanks!

  • Hi Zach Miller, thank you for your comment.

    Currently, there is no way to add custom incident types in the platform. However, for your case, harassment and bullying are covered under 'Psychosocial Hazard', while cyber incidents can be categorised as 'Property/Equipment Damage'. You can also write a short incident description in the incident report.

    I hope this helps.
