The adverse events module is used to capture and log details of health and safety incidents in the workplace.
Some clients may not use this module. The incidents module is an alternative version of this functionality and your organisation may record incident forms there. If unsure, please speak to your Super Users to confirm which is used.
Step 1. Select an event type from adverse events
Hover over the adverse events option in the main menu and you will see a number of options available to you. Select the relevant adverse event type from the list.
Step 2. Add New
A table will load showing your previously recorded events of this type. Should you need to you can click on these to load them or filter and search the table to find a specific record.
To add a new adverse event, select the ‘Add New’ button above the table.
Step 3. Complete the information
A form will load with a number of tabs. Progress through these tabs and answer as many questions as you can as fully as you can.
As you progress any fields that are mandatory but not completed will be indicated if left blank. This will only happen if the field is selected.
Step 4. Save
There are 3 options available to do this:
- Partial Save & Close – This saves your progress so you can return later and complete the form
- Final Save & Close – This will create the new event and return to the table
- Save & New – This will create the new event and then return to step 3 to create another
If you have not completed all mandatory fields you can use the ‘Partial Save & Close’ option. If you try to ‘Final Save & Close’ or Save & New’ the form will not save until all mandatory questions are answered. If you try to do this, the tab where mandatory information has been missed will open and indicate the missing field(s). Please complete all mandatory fields and re-save.
