Health and Safety management System

Response to clarification; Q- how many people would you want to have full access to a system to manage all H&S Incidents within WCBC? A- For full access I would say no more than 20 people.

However, we would need thousands of people to be able to enter an accident on the system as it needs to be accessible to every member of staff. Response to clarification; Q- how many people would you want to have full access to a system to manage all H&S Incidents within WCBC?
