Configure the predefined fields

Notifications and accident/incident investigations use predefined information (types of accident, injuries, material agents, causes, etc.) managed from Accidents → Configuration.

Most of these records are already loaded as established in the Delta system. Each organisation can add new records or modify them to adapt to their preventive culture.

Caution

It is not recommended to modify the predefined records, as this may have implications on the system’s behaviour (especially in the Types of accident, see below).

Configurable sections

The same procedure for adding and modifying applies to all the following sections:

• Working hours
• Physical activity categories / Physical activities
• Types of material agent / Classes of material agent / Material agents
• Classes of place / Categories of place type / Types of place
• Injury contact categories / Injury contacts
• Injury degrees / Injury categories / Injuries
• Body part categories / Body parts
• Work type categories / Work types
• Types of accident
• Accident cause groups / Accident cause subgroups / Accident causes
• Deviation categories / Deviations
• Predefined costs for accident/incident investigations
• Potential severities
• Recurrence probabilities
• Mutual insurance companies
• Social Security schemes
• Personal situations
• Contract types
• Occupations for AT and EP contributions
• Types of permanent disability (NTP 1)

1. Go to Accidents → Configuration and select the corresponding section.
2. Click New.

Note

Fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory.

Modifying an existing record

1. Go to Accidents → Configuration and select the corresponding section.
2. Enter the record you want to modify.

4. Click Save.

Particularities of the “Types of accident”

The Types of accident have a special behaviour within the module:

• Location: the Type of accident field appears both in Notifications and in Investigations.
• Configuration: besides in Configuration → Types of accident, they can be created directly from the Type of accident field on the detail screen by clicking +.
• Usual parameterisation: indicates whether the record is Accident with sick leave, Accident without sick leave or Incident.

Checks that change behaviour

Check	Effect
Sick leave	Must be checked in the type of accident to be able to indicate the sick leave date in an investigation.
Incident	Must be checked so that the fields Affected employee, Section and Position are not mandatory when adding a new notification.
