Follow-up tasks

In response to an incident, employees might be assigned to perform follow-up tasks to remedy any damage caused by the incident. Follow-up tasks are also called follow-up actions. Follow-up tasks can be of these types:

  • Follow Up Tasks – for example, adopt a schedule for cleaning the work area.
  • Activity – for example, an employee might be assigned to attend a COVID-19 safety training meeting or a fire training class.
  • Health component – for example, an employee might be assigned to get a blood test or COVID-19 test.

Follow-up tasks ensure that health components and activities are completed in a timely manner. Putting these tasks in the system make it possible to track and complete them. All follow-up tasks must be completed before the incident can be closed.

A safety administrator, facility-safety manager, or investigator can assign follow-up tasks. When several tasks are usually assigned together, they can be combined into a template.
