In Ideagen Safety, Events are given a Classification of Injury, Illness, Incident or Near Miss, with a secondary Category selection, which describes at a high-level the nature of the Event.

For example:

• An Event classified as Injury may be given a Category of bruising or burn.

These secondary Categories are pre-built lists which can be customised to suit the needs of your Organisation in Settings.
