Hazard management and communication is integral to maintaining a safe working environment. Hazards can be recorded and resolved on the Safesite Mobile App.

Teams are used heavily in the hazard resolution notification process, it is recommended for Project or Org Admins to create team(s) on the Safesite Desktop to correctly use the hazard module.

If teams are created directly from the Safesite Mobile App, they will be empty and not have personnel on them to be notified until an Admin adds personnel to the team on the Safesite desktop.

When a new hazard is assigned to a responsible team, the personnel on the team will be notified by email, within the Safesite app, and in the Safesite Inbox. The following table breaks down how the personnel who created the hazard and the responsible team are notified about the hazard:

Regardless of risk level, any unresolved hazards that have been assigned to you and your team will appear as action cards when you open the Safesite app under the Hazards tab. Hazards can also be accessed through the SafetyHQ tab and under hazards.

Next, simply select by clicking the appropriate hazard to view its details.

Note: Personnel must be on the responsible team to resolve a hazard.

The next screen displays the details of the hazard, including images/photos, risk type and probability, recommended action(s), description, corrective action and other informational details upon recording.

To resolve the hazard you must enter a comment or photo. You can also add any additional supporting photos of resolution via the camera icon located a the beginning of the hazard.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the Comments section. Using the provided text box, type in a comment regarding how the hazard was resolved. Press the Add Comment button to record your comment.

Once your comment and/or photograph is completed scroll to the bottom of the page press the green Resolve button to resolve and close the hazard.

Note: If you are unable to complete the hazard resolution process please note that Org admins can change the Organization Settings to determine who can resolve and archive hazards in your organization.
