Use Locations

The PureSafety organization hierarchy allows you to create location records.

Note: The functionality is available only to customers who have licensed the Incident Management System (IMS) module in PureSafety.
There are several benefits to using locations in IMS.
  • You can specify the location (branch, plant, office, and so on) where a specific incident or near miss occurred.
  • You can restrict user access to IMS data based on location. For example, supervisors might see observations and incidents only for their locations.
  • You can track this information by location in reports, such as the Safety Scorecard report.
Note: Only customers who have licensed the IMS module have access to the location feature in the organization hierarchy.
All location records are organization unit records that are flagged as locations.
  • Only organization units flagged as locations can be selected in the Location field in IMS records.
  • You can create multiple locations inside an organization unit if you have created an organization unit for a department that may have several offices or physical locations. You can create also one or more organization units in a single location if several teams work at the same physical location.
  • Locations are not required in an observation. However, they are useful in reporting.

To take full advantage of location functionality, you must create location records in PureSafety, train employees to identify the location in observations, and configure user security based on locations.
