How Do I Configure an Intervention Type?
The Interventions module provides a structured approach to creating and completing LOTO processes, ensuring that all steps in the safety procedure are followed properly. These interventions are critical in preventing accidents related to machinery and maintaining a safe working environment.
Intervention Types define the series of steps required to complete a LOTO process. These can be customised based on client requirements, allowing flexibility to manage both standard and non-standard LOTO processes.
When adding an Intervention to the system, you assign it a Type, which automatically includes the relevant Intervention Steps and associated Form.
This article includes step-by-step instructions on how to configure an Intervention Type.
- On the left column, go to Settings and click Intervention Types.
- Click +New Intervention Type.
- Enter the Name and Description of the Intervention Type.
- Add a header image by clicking the plus button and choosing the image from your files - note that only images are allowed and the maximum file size is 2MB.
- Tick the options to Allow Subcontractors and/or Simple Risk Assessments.
- Select the Intervention Step(s) from the dropdown options.
- Enter the maximum number of Energies, Characters of Instruction and Minimum Number of Characters of Instruction.
- Select the Form from the dropdown options.
- Click Save & Submit.
This is required before you can configure an Intervention Type:
- Set up Intervention Steps
- Create the digitised form
- 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 and intervention steps.
- 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. description, image, number of energies, characters and form.
