Incident Alert Contacts: A person added at this level receives an email when an incident is submitted for that specific location. They cannot view the incident list or investigate the incident unless they are also a Branch H&S Contact. See Health & Safety Contacts.

Editing or deleting locations

Areas and Sections can be edited or deleted from the branch record when your location structure changes.
