Incidents can be a broad range of things - from minor situations such as more water required at the aid station to major accidents or weather interruptions.

Examples of incidents: Bike crash, athlete sent to hospital, slip and fall by stage, traffic accident, damage in the stadium from a flood, heavy rain falling etc.

Recording incidents is a critical part of any business’s health and safety system. For most businesses, it’s something that’s required by law! They are also significant when planning for your next event, as you can review what incidents occurred and try to prevent them from happening again.

Blerter’s pre-set incident templates and clear help text make it super easy for anyone in the business to record incidents. Having templates ready to go for every situation ensures incident reporting is simple and fast.

Channel owners and manager roles have incident editing rights, they can create and manage incidents. Members will not have any access to viewing or creating incidents.

By default, only channel owners and managers can see incidents in Blerter. They are not visible to general members unless you change the settings of the members role.
