Emissions, compliance, and records management
Companies application for regulatory compliance
The new Companies application in the Safety module can be used to manage safety‑related information for contractors, vendors, and other companies. The application supports the organization and maintenance of company safety data to help ensure consistent implementation of safety processes and compliance requirements.

For more information, see Companies application.

Improved inspection assignments
You can now assign inspections to specific individuals or groups to reduce unnecessary downloads of unassigned inspections to mobile devices. New fields in the inspection results identify the assigned owner and owner group for each inspection. Applications use this information to route inspections to the appropriate personnel.
The following applications now support the updated inspection assignment process:
  • Access Permits
  • Audit and Surveys
  • Incidents
  • Operator Rounds in Operator Log
  • Risk Assessments
  • Management of Change (MOC)
  • Waste management

These applications also include a new Related Inspections section under the Related Records tab, providing quick access to inspections associated with each record. Inspections can be completed using the Inspections application or IBM Maximo Mobile Inspections app on supported mobile devices.

For more information, see Assigning inspections and Related inspections for a record.

Predefined domains in Locations
You can now select values for Subunit/Component Code and Maintainable Item/Part Code from predefined domains in the Locations application, under the Failure Analysis tab.

Previously, these were open text fields in Locations application, which might lead to inconsistent data entry. With this update, the same domains that are used in Work Order Tracking are now applied, so that you can choose standardized values.

No additional configuration is required to use this capability.

Integration with IBM Maximo Mobile
Maps in Incident reporter
To streamline the incident reporting process and enable faster resolution of incidents, preview existing incident details from a map or add a new incident associated to an asset or location from the map.
