Safety
| Info | ||
|---|---|---|

Data in this section will have to be entered if you intend to roll out Safety. This area of MetaField allows firms the ability to capture the results of a variety of Safety activities (Field observations, incident reporting, audits, etc) through a unique, customizable interface. The back end configuration is done within the MetaField DIY Engine. Typically firms will impliment this area after they have rolled out Density Testing and C / G / M since there is a lot more up front configuration. However, if you choose to copy our template safety forms, there is very little configuration needed. |
