How It Works
From setup to rollout
A reporter records the incident details, location, people involved, evidence, and immediate action in one first-report form.
Supervisors or EHS reviewers check severity, missing information, and whether the record is ready for investigation.
The report moves into investigation and corrective-action follow-up with ownership and evidence still attached to the original case.
Completed incident records remain searchable for audits, trend review, and lessons learned.
