Setting PPE alerts
Notify the appropriate personnel whenever there's an issue, malfunction, or discrepancy with your PPE gear.
.
Summary
Alerts in the PPE module are designed to notify responsible personnel of gear issues identified during inspections. These alerts can be triggered during routine or as-needed checks, or directly from the gear list. This ensures timely communication and resolution of equipment problems.
Instructions
Alerts are most commonly set during scheduled PPE inspections, but can also be logged from as-needed checks or the gear list. When setting an alert, you can add detailed notes, attachments, set a priority, and define who should be notified. The system automatically carries forward your input across the alert process and sends notifications via email and/or text to designated recipients.
