Incident management

Incident management that turns a report into prevention

Give frontline teams a fast way to report incidents, near misses and hazards. Capture the evidence while it is fresh, investigate the cause and keep the follow-up visible.

From report to prevention

Capture the event. Find the cause. Stop the repeat.

Give people a quick way to report and give investigators, HSE leaders and auditors a complete record of what happened and what changed.

Report from anywhere

Use a mobile form or scan a QR code on equipment and locations to report an incident, near miss or hazard.

Triage and notification

Set the issue type and priority, record the site and route the report to the responsible people through notifications.

Evidence while it is fresh

Capture photos, location details and body-map information for injuries before the scene or shift changes.

Root cause investigation

Use 5 Whys or fishbone analysis. Record contributing factors, evidence and the root cause.

Corrective and preventive response

Record the immediate response and longer-term preventive plan in the analysis, then assign follow-up actions with owners and due dates.

Register and trends

Review incidents by site, type, priority and status. Use dashboards to see patterns across teams and locations.

A report people can act on

A near miss becomes a change, not a form in a drawer

A worker scans a QR code at a loading dock and reports a near miss with a photo. The report is assigned to the supervisor and the area is made safe.

The investigator uses 5 Whys to find a failed control, records the root cause and documents the immediate and preventive response. The report, investigation and recorded response remain in the incident record for review.

  • Root cause method recorded with the investigation
  • Immediate and preventive response recorded

FAQ

Incident management: frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an incident and a near miss?

An incident causes harm, damage or loss. A near miss could have caused harm but did not. Both can be recorded as issues so the same investigation and action process applies.

Can workers report by scanning a QR code?

Yes. QR codes can be placed on equipment or locations. Scanning one opens a report form and records the site and code used.

Can incidents be reported from a phone?

Yes. The incident form works on mobile so teams can report from the field, and the record is saved when the report is submitted.

Does it include root cause analysis?

Yes. Issues can carry a structured root cause analysis using 5 Whys or fishbone, with contributing factors and evidence.

Can we track what happens after the report?

Yes. Priority, status, owners, due dates and investigation notes stay with the incident record. Follow-up actions are tracked in the action process, and the audit log retains changes.
