- Integration Points
Incident Reporting and Notification
- Capture data for any environmental event topic:
- Releases and spills
- Notices of violation
- Regulatory inspections
- Customer complaints
- Service failures
- Begin the incident workflow from within the Event Reporting module (an employee or supervisor reports an environmental event) OR from within the incident management module itself
- Automatically notify any and all relevant parties (H&S staff, managers, etc.) once an incident report has been filed
- Send incident summary reports to any designated parties within the organization
Data Collection and Investigation
- Collect various incident data and consolidate in one main incident record:
- Witness statements and contact information
- Photos of the scene or incident
- Any documents related to the event
- Data collected using company-specific questionnaires / checklists
- Attach any and all related event reports that have been filed by employees using the Event Reporting module
- View risk assessments relating to the incident in order to gather valuable lessons learned data for the job in question within the incident record
- Classify/categorize the incident according to your standards with numerous user-defined fields
- Configure and follow an investigation completion and approval workflow according to your company process
Root Cause Analysis
- Use a decision tree model for easy visualization of‘5 Why’ root cause analysis. Using this non-linear method of root cause analysis, you can:
- Track multiple reasons and sub-reasons as to why the event may have occurred
- Select the most fitting underlying cause to include on the incident record
- Once you are satisfied with the data you’ve collected, you can begin the approval process; your decision tree will be stored on the record for future review if needed
Investigation Approvals and Corrective Action Tracking
- Streamline incident approval workflow and action assignment, ensuring that the incident approval process is complete and accurate:
- Trigger an automated investigation workflow/approval escalation process that moves through the appropriate chain of command for the employee in question
- Automatically generate and send assignment emails containing pertinent incident information and a standalone link that allows assignee to access and update the incident record
- Configure reminders to run at different frequencies before and after the activity due date
- Maintain a history of incident approvals/rejections along with approver comments
- Seamlessly connect actions to findings, allowing for the action workflow to be automatically triggered when a specified finding is recorded
- Manage incident and other environmental-related findings & actions in the Findings & Actions module for quick access to all active actions
