Purging health and safety incident information

Purge health and safety incident records. Only one type of record is purged at a time. If you want to purge more than one type of record, run the purge report more than one time, selecting the different record type each time.

Caution:

Purging records permanently removes them from the database. You cannot retrieve purged information. We recommend that you back up data, following your organization's MIS procedures, before running any purge programs.
