Setting up Safety Categories

You can define safety categories and use them to display safety provisions and override incidents in groups that are relevant for your site. You can filter and sort lists of provisions by category in table configurations. You can also view similar override incidents in a table; that is, incidents linked to provisions with the same category.

When you select a safety classification for a safety provision, the list is filtered to include only those classifications that are valid for the provision’s category.

This topic explains how to set up safety categories. For information about setting up classifications, see Setting up Safety Classifications.
