Injury Log

The Injury Log is a domain level sub-application within the Safety Suite which allows you to manage injury documentation. For more information on the Safety Suite, refer to Safety Suite.


Note that the sub-apps in the Safety Suite are unlike most other apps in that they reside at the domain level, not at the project or partition level. They can be accessed while you have a project or partition open, but the data entered is not linked to that project or partition and instead resides at the domain level.


Key elements of the Injury Log are as follows:

  • You can log information about each injury incident, including information about the affected individual, incident particulars, required treatments, and injury outcomes. 
  • The person recorded as completing the report and the injured employee must be set up as Employees in the Employee Profile sub-app of the Contacts app. Employees are first set up as contacts, and then additional information is captured for them on an employee record. 
  • The information gathered can be exported as a generic injury report or one that follows the OSHA 301 format.
  • You can generate a comprehensive log that adheres to the OSHA 300 Log format.
