How do I know what I need to do in IMS?

The information below helps you identify the action you need to perform in IMS depending on the goal you are trying to accomplish.

How do I find out that something happened or could happen? Review Incidents. Employees submit incident reports about them in IMS when they notice a risky condition or observe an incident.

How do I find out the details of an incident? Review Incident Reports to find the appropriate one and open it for editing, so you can see details about the incident.

How do I mitigate future losses and prevent a recurrence of this issue? Assign follow-up tasks to prevent or correct such issues. You can assign preventative actions from an incident report and you can assign corrective actions from an event.

How do I record that an employee has been injured? Create an injury record. Employees can create the injury record directly from the task if you assign the task to them.

How do I keep track of information I uncover during my incident investigation? Create an event either from an incident report or from the IMS screen and enter your investigation notes in the event record.
