Monitor Health and Safety Overview

Monitor Health and Safety enables you to record and track incidents, injuries, illnesses, and dangerous occurrences at the workplace. In addition to tracking incidents for employees, you can also record and track non-employees — employees who were witnesses but who were not actually injured. Using Monitor Health and Safety, you can submit and process medical and examination data to the appropriate reporting agencies.

Monitor Health and Safety supports these business processes:

Define injuries and illnesses.
Define dangerous occurrences and hazards.

We cover these business processes in the business process chapters in this PeopleBook.

Monitor Health and Safety Integrations

Monitor Health and Safety integrates with all the PeopleSoft Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS) applications, with other PeopleSoft applications, and with third-party applications.

HR shared tables are available to many HCM applications. In addition, data in many HR tables is available to any PeopleSoft application that is set up to subscribe to the published messages.

Monitor Health and Safety Implementation

PeopleSoft Setup Manager enables you to review a list of setup tasks for your organization for the products that you are implementing. The setup tasks include the components that you must set up, listed in the order in which you must enter data into the component tables, and links to the corresponding PeopleBook documentation.

Monitor Health and Safety provides component interfaces to help you load data from your existing system into PeopleSoft tables. Use the Excel to Component Interface utility with the component interfaces to populate the tables.

This table lists all of the components that have setup component interfaces:
