Enter an Injury

This guide shows how to correctly record an injury/illness incident so notifications, classifications, and linked injury details are captured and sent. It explains creating the incident, selecting Injury/Illness to reveal the injury tab, completing person and injury specifics (treatment, lost time, nature/location/mechanism), saving the injury to link it to the incident, and finalizing the record so email notifications are triggered.
