Safety Standards

Define the safety steps technicians must acknowledge, the repair-request types they can file, and the shutdown reasons they can choose from. All three feed the safety / incident reporting pipeline.

Required role

Mapper or Admin. Supervisor and Viewer have read-only access.

Overview

Safety Standards is the umbrella for three closely-related configuration items:

  • Safety Procedures — the acknowledgement checklists that gate certain tasks.
  • Repair Requests — the dropdown of failure categories technicians pick when filing a repair request.
  • Shutdown Reasons — the dropdown of causes technicians pick when reporting a shutdown.

Together they shape how safety and incidents are captured across your plant.

This menu item expands into three sub-menus — one page each.

How the three connect

  • A Safety Procedure may mention specific failure modes; those failure modes should be reflected in the Repair Request Types catalogue so technicians can file them with the right category.
  • Shutdown Reasons split planned / unplanned / force-majeure for OEE attribution; planned maintenance shutdowns can reference the safety procedure that gates them.
  • Together they drive the Shutdown Report, Repair Request Report, and any audit packs you generate.

Review cadence

These catalogues drift. Review annually (or after any significant incident):

  • Any failure type technicians type into the "description" field repeatedly but isn't in the dropdown → promote to a formal category.
  • Any safety procedure with tap-through-in-5-seconds acknowledgement patterns → rewrite (steps too vague, or too many).
  • Any shutdown reason rarely used → consider merging or deactivating.

Things to watch for

These are company-wide

All three catalogues are scoped to the company, not per-user. A change to Safety Procedures affects every task with that procedure attached across the whole tenant.
