Site(s) added (with appropriate hierarchy if multisite)

1. Roles added

Roles are not job titles, they are broader and will group employees together based on the same health and safety requirements. For example anyone that just works in the office would have the role 'Office'. We recommend 3 to 5 roles unless you have complex requirements.

An employee can have multiple roles, also we can make use of supplementary roles such as +Fire Marshal or +Company Car driver.

2. Managers configured

There are 2 levels of user access level in the system - manager or user. A manager can manage more than one site.

3. Role Requirements added

These is what is going to be compulsory for the employees based on their role

3. • • Role required training - eg Company Induction

     • Role required E-learning - eg Fire Safety Awareness

     • Role required checklists - eg health surveillance or DSE

4. Staff uploaded

Opus can bulk upload staff or they can be added individually on set up. You will then be responsible for keeping the staff list up to date.

We need:

• Name

• Role(s)

• Site (which site the employee is located at)

• Opus Compliance Cloud Manager (Y/N)

1. Site Checklists added

Site checklists are regular checks across the site such as a manager monthly walk around. We usually recommend using less than 30 questions per checklist. 

We have the following questions types:

• Yes / No

• Free text

• Photo 

Checklists can either be manager or all user access. We default to all users unless otherwise instructed.

We have some standard checks we can apply or you can supply your own questions for us to upload.

2. Site Documents added

You can add documents that you want to be able to be viewed by employees at your site. For managed clients this is where Opus will add your risk assessments etc.

3. Report Templates Added

We will add default report templates of:

• • Report an incident (accident / near-miss)

  • Log enforcement officer visit

  • Employee Intervention

  • Log a Contractor On Site

  • Report a safety observation

  • Create an action

  • Something else

There are other reports templates eg Road Traffic Accident, Report Spillage - these are covered here - Other Reportable Events

1. Asset Types added

Think of asset types as categories. These are used to help organise your assets and also for use in Asset Type Requirements

2. Asset Type Requirements added

These are compulsory requirements for all assets in a particular type. Either checklist based eg daily pre use checks or document based eg annual service. For example all ladders would usually be entered under a Ladder type which has a quarterly ladder checklist.
