Task
A task assigns a specific action to an individual who has to complete it within a given period of time. Operators usually create tasks from an observation or an event and assign them to other employees. Once assigned, tasks appear on assignees’ PureSafety home page dashboards.
A unique icon helps them see at a glance what type of task they’ve been assigned. The table below describes the types of tasks you can create in IMS:
Icon | Task Type | Description |
---|---|---|

IMS includes several standard investigation forms and also allows you to create custom forms. For more details about each, refer to the Investigation Forms section below.
