Over the next few months we're going to be making changes to the user experience in various areas of our system; this will help speed up your day and let you access the data you need more efficiently. We've started with an often-used function in your employee details page: setting someone's password and notifying the user. Previously you would set someone's password, hit accept, wait for the page to refresh, and then save your changes. We've simplified the process by adding a drop down menu where you can set the password without an additional page load. Simply set it and save your changes!

We've also moved Emergency Information into a single drop down menu that is hidden by default. This clears up a bit of clutter on this page and makes for a simpler user experience. 

If you have comments or suggestions about these changes please feel free to contact us and we'd be happy to listen to your ideas.

Part of properly dealing with a work incident is having an emergency contact to call for each of your employees. Many of our clients go the extra mile and keep multiple contacts on file in case the first one is unable to be reached. Previously the ability to add more than one contact was not available in your SafetySync Portal, but we've listened to your feedback requests and you can now add as many emergency contacts for your employees as you like. Head on over to your Employee Details page and get started with our updated Emergency Contact list.
 

Nearly every company has a receptionist or administrator keep a contact list in the event of emergencies and other uses.  It is usually kept in either Word or Excel format, and saved locally on that employee's hard drive.  On a periodic basis, that file gets emailed out to interested parties, at which point the document gets printed, then posted on the wall near the phone.  The contact list can also find its way into the company safety manuals, if someone knows where to find them all (a challenge in itself).

Unfortunately, this Emergency Contact List quickly becomes obsolete as key personnel get promoted or transfered.  It's equally likely that an employee retires or gets terminated, and a new person gets hired to fill the vacancy.  Either way, the document hanging on the wall is no longer valid.

There is an easier way.  Key in the contact information for the employee in a Safety Management System like SAFETYSYNC, and flag the person to be included on your Emergency Contact List.  Administrators have the option to designate each employee for key roles in emergencies (see the screenshot on the left).

SAFETYSYNC automatically creates Emergency Contact Lists for the company as a whole, as well as each individual location.  No more worrying about updating the list, since any reassignment or deactivation of an employee will immediately be reflected to all users.
