Tracking Deviations

If the Finding resulted from deviation? option is selected on an Environmental finding, a new event is created with the event report type of “Environmental Deviation”.

These Deviation Events are not submitted or posted to an incident, but rather are tracked for reporting purposes only. All deviation records for a reporting period (rolling six months from permit issuance date) will be reported together via Report Writer or forms.

  1. In the Environmental menu, choose Event Management.

  2. Filter by Event Report Type to show Environmental Deviation events (you may also need to change the view to show All Event Reports) then open the event that was created from the finding.

  3. On the Event Report tab, capture details of the deviation, including the Related Permit and the Person Reporting it, as well as Information and Cause(s).

  4. On the Corrective Actions tab, create any new actions required to address this deviation.

  5. Use the Witnesses and Contacts tab to link any witnesses or contacts to this deviation. Contacts can be selected from the Contact look-up table or entered manually. If you select an employee, their demographic fields will be populated automatically.

  6. You can record a Related Asset on the Event Report tab, or use the Related Assets tab to record multiple assets.

  7. Use the Documents tab to link an external file to deviation event to provide easy access to the file (for more information, see Linking or Importing a Document).

  8. The Forms tab displays all forms in the PDFForm look-up table that have been linked to environmental incidents. Open and complete these as required.
