Exploring Critical Event Management

Learn how to create and manage critical event tickets, assign tasks to on-site responders, and track the impacted people.

Critical Event Management overview

Critical Event Management offers a platform to report and manage critical situations. Employees or operators report an event, and on-site responders assist the impacted people. The operator monitors the critical event closely until it’s resolved.

Critical Event Management workflow

  1. Report the critical event

    An employee reports the critical event, or an agent creates the critical event.

  2. Assign and activate

    The agent assigns the critical event to relevant responders and activates the critical event.

  3. Send notifications

    The agent sends notifications to the impacted people and on-site responders.

  4. Initiate roll call and coordinate

    On-site responders coordinate people at the assembly point and take roll calls to update their status in the impacted people list.

  5. Manage communication and responses

    The agent manages the response from the impacted people and communicates with them and the responders.

  6. Close the critical event

    Once the situation is resolved, the agent resolves the critical event, creates Health and Safety incidents if needed, and then closes the event.
