Concept: Safety Incident Security

Concept: Safety Incident Security

Safety incidents have 2 components with separate contextual security:
  • A safety incident report associated with a business site location.
  • One or more involved parties that belong to supervisory organizations.
This contextual security applies to all safety incident tasks, reports, business processes, and report data sources. This means:
  • Safety incidents with an involved party are accessible to roles on either the location hierarchy or supervisory organization.
  • Safety incidents without an involved party are accessible only to roles on the location hierarchy, since there's no supervisory organization.
The table displays examples of access to safety incidents for different roles:
Example
Security Group
Access
Safety Administrator (or similar role)
User-based
  • Can view all safety incidents and involved parties, including nonworker involved parties.
  • Can report, update, and rescind safety incidents, when assigned to all safety domains and business processes.
Safety Partner (or similar role)
Role-based (location hierarchy)
  • Can view all safety incidents in their business site location, as well as safety incidents they entered.
  • Can view all involved parties, including nonworker involved parties.
  • Can report, update, and rescind safety incidents, when assigned to safety domains and business processes.
Manager
Role-based (supervisory organization)
  • Can view all safety incidents they entered and any safety incident involving at least 1 party in their organization.
  • Can only view involved parties in their organization and nonworker involved parties.
  • Can report and update safety incidents, when assigned to safety domains and business processes.
Worker
Employee as Self
  • Can only view safety incidents to which they're an involved party.
  • Can't see other involved parties.
Reporter
Any security group
Can see all safety incidents that they reported, as long as they are in a security group assigned to safety domains.
When you use the
Report Safety Incident
task to add an involved party to a safety incident report, you only see the
Nature of Injury/Illness
collapsible section. This is because the supervisory organization context isn't available. You see the additional tabs in the
Update Safety Incident
task when the involved party provides context for security access.
Alternatively, you can assign the
Employee as Self
and
Contingent Worker as Self
security groups to the
Self-Service: Safety Incidents
domain to display the additional tabs in the
Report Safety Incident
task. However, these collapsible sections are visible to workers if they have permission to view safety incidents.
