These roles transcend certain myhrtoolkit demarcations of reporting – e.g. an H&S User can make an accident report for an employee they don’t manage, or in an unregistered *location *such as the car park. | ***H&S User*** | A manager who has been given access to one or more of the Health & Safety features. | Uses the features in day to day operation | | --- | --- | --- | | ***H&S Representative*** | A company’s internal nominated H&S specialist(s) | Receives emails when key actions occur – accidents recorded etc. H&S Representatives can be normal users | | ***H&S Advisor*** | A professional advisor either within your company, or an external provider you use | Details are displayed to H&S Representatives within relevant emails |   ### Setting up Health and Safety Use the Health and Safety permissions in Config > Access rights > User permissions to assign roles to users. Locate the users to whom you wish to grant permissions, and click the green button on the right. In the ‘Edit Permissions’ pop-up that appears, switch on the required permissions and click ‘Update.’ ### Accessing the Health and Safety functions All users have a Custom forms icon for filling in forms created in the H&S module; Managers assigned a Health And Safety role will have a Health and Safety icon added to their Management toolbar.
