EHS Insight 26.3: Smarter Incident & Work Permit Updates

At EHS Insight, every release is focused on making your programs easier to manage, more aligned with real-world operations, and more scalable as your organization grows.

 With v26.3, we’ve introduced enhancements across Incident Management and Work Permits—helping teams capture more relevant data and streamline contractor workflows. 

Capture Incidents Your Way with Custom Consequence Types

What’s New

You can now define custom Incident Consequence Types within the Incident Management module—giving you more flexibility to align incident tracking with your organization’s terminology and processes.

• Add new consequence types (e.g., Fire, Motor Vehicle Accident)
• Automatically trigger relevant form sections based on the selected consequence

Why It Matters

No two organizations define incidents the same way. This update allows you to align incident tracking with your internal terminology, reporting needs, and operational realities—without workarounds.

Use Case

• A team adds “Fire” as a consequence and automatically triggers Incident Conditions and Witness sections for more detailed reporting
• A company tracks “Motor Vehicle Accidents” separately, triggering the Asset section while still feeding existing asset reports

Result: More accurate reporting, better data consistency, and incident tracking that reflects how your business actually operates.

Assign Work Permits to Anyone—No Full Access Required

What’s New

Work Permits can now be assigned to internal users or vendor workers—even if they don’t have full Work Permit permissions—making it easier to complete work without expanding system access.

• Assign Work Permits directly to internal users or vendor workers
• Provide access to active permits once approved, without requiring full permissions
• Enable vendor workers to view and complete assigned work through the Vendor Portal

Why It Matters

Work doesn’t stop because someone lacks system access. This update removes friction by allowing the right people to complete permitted work without expanding system permissions.

Use Case

A facility manager verifies a contractor’s training and credentials in the Vendor Portal, then creates and assigns a Work Permit with linked JSA and permitted operations.

Once approved and active, the contractor accesses the permit through the external Vendor Portal to review details, log work performed, update statuses, and complete the permit.

Result: Faster coordination, improved contractor compliance, and reduced administrative overhead.

The Bigger Picture

These updates reflect a consistent focus:

• Flexibility — Configure the platform to match your processes
• Accessibility — Get the right information to the right people
• Usability — Reduce complexity and speed up adoption

Whether you're refining incident tracking or managing contractors in the field, v26.3 helps you move faster with less friction.
