Release Notes August 2021

This release involves amendments to the current incident reporting and investigation process 
(Version 1 - V1) and the introduction of Version 2 (V2) of the incident and investigation process 
that caters for those customers on the ACC AEP program.

1) Change to Authorities (V1 and V2)
a. Only health and safety contacts (company and branch level) and anyone with full company 
admin access will be allowed to view the incident listing page and have access to be able to fully 
view incidents. The branch health and safety contact can have multiple people added if you 
require more than one person to have access.
b. All other users; when they click on the Incident link from the main menu options (web) they 
will be taken straight to the New Incident screen.
c. Only those with H&S or company level admin access will be able to access the incident report 
from the report builder.
d. On the employee bio, there is an incident tab that displays a listing of incidents the employee 
has been involved in. Previously there was a view icon that would allow the user to access the 
incident information, this has now been replaced by a download icon that allows the user to 
download the initial incident information only.
e. The “confidential” flag has been removed from incidents as all incidents are now classed as 
confidential.
f. Should an employee request full details of an incident and subsequent investigation, a 
nominated H&S contact can download a full PDF of the information from the incident itself. 
g. Assigning the incident to a new reviewer – this is still available on V1 but will be restricted to 
those with company admin or health and safety access. As mentioned above, you can add

events; this is in addition to the standard notifications that go out. These are only generated if
