Shape your categories

  1. 1

    Open Hazards & observations → Categories. Sensible defaults exist already — including good practice, so the register is not only ever bad news.

  2. 2

    Rename, add or retire categories to match how your organisation actually speaks — “near miss”, “unsafe condition”, “housekeeping”.

  3. 3

    Give a category its own custom fields and questions where its reports need different facts — a vehicle-damage report asks different things than a near miss.

Wire up the alerts

  1. 1

    On each category, choose who is notified when a report arrives.

  2. 2

    Set the critical-alert recipients — the shorter list of people who should hear immediately when a reporter marks something critical.

  3. 3

    Optionally link inspection templates to a category, so a report can flow straight into a structured follow-up inspection.

Tip: Keep the critical list short and senior. If everything alerts everyone, nothing alerts anyone.
