Create a Safety Incident Report

Employees can report an incident in Workforce Health and Safety by navigating from Home > Me > Safety Incidents. If you can't find the Safety Incidents app, contact your EHS Manager to make the app available for you.

  1. Click Safety Incidents to open the Report an Incident page. Various event tiles appear in a page. You may want to select one or more event types when reporting the incident.
  2. Select one or more Event Type check boxes, for example, Ergonomic, Air Quality, and so on. After submitting the incident, the application creates the relevant events for the incident.
    Note: This event tiles page is displayed based on the Employee Self-Service Events (HNS_KIOSK_SHOW_EVENTS) profile option and Manage Incident Events Lookup page settings. By default, the option is enabled. If your administrator has decided not to show the events page, then you won't see the event tiles page in employee self-service. You can also see the Health Survey option on the page if your administrator has enabled it. Select this option only if you want to take a health survey
