Event types

The categories

The category is chosen in the Category field of the details. It is optional and does not change the fields of the form: every category is recorded in the same way.

Category	What it records	Example
Accidents	an event that harmed a worker	a fall from a ladder causing an injury
Accidents and near misses	an event that caused material damage or stopped work, or that could have caused harm and did not	a forklift hitting a rack; a load falling into an empty area
Non compliance	a departure from a procedure, a standard or a requirement	a machine in use without its guard
Report - Malfunction	irregular operation	an alarm going off for no reason
Report - Failure	a breakdown	a machine that has stopped
Request - Inspection	a request for a check	an inspection of scaffolding
Request - Maintenance	a request for maintenance	the service of a fire extinguisher
Request - Replacement	a request to replace something	a worn PPE item
Request - Intervention	a request for a general intervention	the repair of a fire door

The statuses

Status	Meaning
New	the event has been recorded and not yet taken on
Open	the event is being handled
Closed	the event is concluded; the Closing date is required

The status is changed by hand: it does not depend on the linked corrective actions. See Close an event.

The roles of the people who manage the event

They are assigned in the event’s details, as on prevention actions.

Role	Who it is
Manager	the person responsible for handling the event
Assignee	the person tasked with following it up
Watcher	someone who needs to be kept informed
Recipient	the person the event concerns

If none is assigned, the default roles for events set in the project configuration apply. When the event is recorded, everyone with a role receives a notification; at every change, the person who created it does.

The people involved

The people involved are not the same as the roles: they are the workers of the office affected by the event, for example the injured person. For each one you record:

Data	What it holds
Description	how the person was involved
Days sickness	the days of sickness

The event’s details show the number of people involved (Num. involved person) and the sum of their days (Tot. Days Sickness).
