At the request of one of our larger customers, we have added a couple of new fields to the "Policy Version Details" screen that pops up when you click "Save As New Version" when editing, reviewing or updating a policy:
- Administrators can now change the Revision Date themselves. This is particularly relevant when entering existing policies into the system. In the past, the simple act of uploading the policy would reset the revision date; but for some companies they went through the formal review process on an earlier date.
- Administrators must also enter a "Reason for Change / Modifications" when creating a new policy version. This is required for audit trail purposes in OHSAS 18001 and CSA Z1000. It also helps the administrator recall the reason for changes, and what modifications were made at a quick glance without having to open the prior version and review it.
