Associating hazards with locations

You can add hazards to asset records and to location records so that when a work order is created on an asset or location, the appropriate safety information is available. The safety information defined in the Assets application and in the Location application might be added to a safety plan or added directly to the work order.

Before you begin

Before you can add a hazard to a location record, the hazard must have already been defined in the Hazards application.

1. From the List tab of the Locations application, open the location record to which you want to associate a hazard.
2. On the Safety tab, click the Hazards and Precautions sub tab.
3. Under the Hazards table window, click New Row.
4. In the Hazard field, click Detail Menu and select an option. If the hazard you selected has precautions associated with it, the precautions are shown in the Precautions table window. If the hazard is hazardous-material-enabled, the hazard is shown on the Hazardous Materials sub tab of the Safety tab, along with its hazardous-material information.
5. Click Save Location.
