Hazards and other items can be added to a Location ensuring your team is aware of them.
Note: Your Access Level may restrict the use of some features.
For the App, see Adding Hazards or Items (App).
Hazards and other items can be added to a location map with a precise geo-location, or they can simply be listed against a Location if they do not have a precise geographic position.
You should add hazards that your workers or visitors need to be aware of. Start with significant hazards; e.g. chemical shed, powerlines, power poles, dams.
You can also add a wide range of items such as structures, fuel tanks, trees, assembly areas.
