Safety Events in Resource Planning (Overview)

This article is an overview on what a Safety Event is and how Safety Events work.

Safety Events in Resource Planning allow you to plan safety inspections and trainings directly within your project timeline. By adding safety events to your project plan, you can ensure important safety steps are scheduled alongside the work they support.

This helps teams stay proactive with safety by planning inspections and trainings before work begins, rather than reacting after the fact.

What Are Safety Events?

Safety Events are scheduled safety activities that can be added to your project plan. There are two types of safety events:

  • Safety Inspections – Used to verify that job site conditions meet safety requirements.

  • Safety Trainings – Used to ensure employees are properly trained before performing specific work.

Each safety event is tied to a specific date and can include notes to provide additional details, such as who should perform the inspection or lead the training.

Where Safety Events Appear

⚠️Safety Events are only available for customers using both Resource Planning and Safety (Inspections or Trainings).

Safety Events are added directly to your project plan and appear alongside your tasks in the timeline view. This allows you to:

  • See when safety activities are scheduled.

  • Align safety requirements with specific phases of work.

  • Keep safety planning visible to both field and office teams.

How Safety Events Work

Safety Events follow a similar workflow to scheduling requests:

  1. A safety event is added to a task in the project plan.

  2. The event is sent as a request.

  3. The request is reviewed and assigned in the Safety module.

  4. The inspection or training is completed and tracked in the Safety module.

This connection ensures that safety planning and execution stay aligned across your team.

Important Notes

  • Safety Events can only be added to tasks within a Task Group

  • Safety Events are not available on standalone tasks

  • Safety Events must be enabled in the Project Plan settings before they can be added

  • Once requested, Safety Events are managed and completed in the Safety module

Why Use Safety Events in your Project Plan?

Adding Safety Events to your project plan helps you:

  • Plan safety activities ahead of time.

  • Reduce missed inspections or trainings.

  • Keep safety aligned with project timelines.

  • Improve visibility across teams.
