The April 2026 release introduced four groups of changes across SWMS, Incident management, login security and Critical Risks.
The information below records what changed in that release. Current functionality may include later enhancements described in more recent release notes and knowledge-base articles.
New functionality and improvements
1New SWMS module
The release introduced the SWMS module, including:
- The ability to create SWMS templates and active SWMS documents.
- Access through both the Engage web application and mobile application.
- Job information broken down into tasks linked to relevant Risks, employees and PPE.
- Real-time acknowledgement of changes made to SWMS documents.
- On-screen access and PDF download.
2Psychosocial Incidents and the confidential pathway
The Incident workflow was expanded to include:
- A Psychosocial Incident Type with associated Sub Types.
- Confidential Health & Safety Contacts for Aggression, Bullying and Psychosocial Incidents.
- Restricted access so these Incidents can be viewed by the applicable Confidential H&S Contacts.
- The ability for a Confidential H&S Contact to reassign the Incident to a Branch H&S Contact where required.
3Login email and password-guidance changes
- Login details were removed from account emails. Users instead receive a link allowing them to create their own password.
- The password guidance was updated to recommend at least 12 characters and the use of a passphrase rather than a single word.
This describes the guidance introduced in the April 2026 release. Users should follow the current requirements displayed when creating or resetting their password.
4Critical Risk changes
- A PDF download was added at Risk level.
- Where a Risk is classified as Critical, at least one control measure must also be identified as a Critical Control.
- A warning was added reminding users to confirm that the review period is appropriate for a Critical Risk.
