New enhancements are coming to Work Planning and Control (WPC) Activity Manager. WPC is a key component of Berkeley Lab’s Integrated Safety Management System. It is a primary tool used to describe the work we perform, identify the hazards and identify the safety controls for that work. It is also how we assign most of the safety training requirements and demonstrate that staff are authorized to work.
Coming soon, you will notice the following enhancements:
- Monthly emails – You will notice a new monthly email documenting actions that need your attention. These emails, sent monthly to Activity and Project Leads, Supervisors and Workers, will highlight actions for you to complete along with instructions on how to complete those actions. This will allow removal of obsolete or duplicative emails and notifications from the WPC system to reduce the overall number of these you receive.
- Create folders in Attachments – You will be able to create folders and organize attachments under the Attachments tab. This is a useful way to organize procedures, protocols or other attachments to the WPC activity. Old copies of the WPC activity will also be automatically stored under an Archives folder to minimize clutter.
We are continually improving WPC Activity Manager and are beginning to identify the next enhancements to the system. Your feedback helps. If you have suggestions to improve WPC Activity Manager, please submit them here.
