Recording accidents and incidents within the system helps to improve safety, ensures compliance, and aids in preventing similar occurrences in future. Adding an Accident & Incident Type to the system can help categorise the Incident.
When adding an Accident & Incident to the system, you assign it a Type, which adds the required forms.
This article includes step-by-step instructions on how to configure an Accident & Incident Type.
This is required before you can add an Accident & Incident Type:
A field with a red asterisk beside it means it is required and you will not be able to complete your work without filling in these fields i.e. name, description and colour.
A field without a red asterisk beside it means the field is not required, although it may be helpful to fill these out to complete your work i.e. report forms, add-on forms and roles.
Other Options:
Under the dropdown options, you might see an option to add more, by clicking the ‘Here’ button highlighted. This will take you to the section you wish to add more of, i.e. Report Forms and Roles - be cautious that when you click this button, the details you have entered will be deleted.
