Purging employee and applicant health and safety test information

Purge employee and applicant health and safety test records and any associated attachments. Health and Safety test records need to meet all the criteria you define in the Parameters section in order to purge the record.

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.
