Witness reports can be an important part of any incident. Assigning them to employees who may have also been present during an event can give important details that will help in the follow up and investigation of an incident.
To assign witness reports, click on the Initiate Witness Report tile found in the Report Management menu on the left-hand side of the page. A new section will appear to the right labeled Initiate Witness Report.
