Add a site

Sites are the physical locations your H&S programme runs at. Even a single-office business needs at least one site — every hazard, incident, and inspection record references one.

Steps

1. From the sidebar, open Sites.
2. Click + Site.
3. Fill in:
   • Name — the everyday name people use (“Auckland office”, “Site B”, “Workshop”).
   • Address — full postal address.
   • Description — optional. “Open-plan office, first floor”, “Yard and warehouse only — office is at HQ”.
   • Capacity — optional, used by some inspections.
4. Save.

The site appears in the Sites list. Open it and you’ll see tabs for Details, Attachments (for site maps and evacuation plans), Related (for related hazards / incidents / inspections), and Log.

When to split a single location into multiple sites

If you have one address but two distinct working environments — say a head office and an attached workshop — splitting them into two sites usually pays off:

• Inspection templates often differ (an office inspection is not a workshop inspection).
• Hazard registers stay focused (the slip-on-coffee-floor hazard doesn’t muddy the angle-grinder one).
• Site-specific evacuation plans can be attached to the site they apply to.

What sites don’t do (yet)

• Sites don’t carry their own member list. All members of an org see all sites.
• Sites don’t have a separate billing or licensing scheme.
• Sites don’t enforce geo-fencing on incident reports.

These are deliberate design choices for v1. If your needs are more complex, talk to us.
