Complete a Control ( Safety Plan Required) Task

Control Tasks, *aka* Safety Plan Required,  are created when a risk ( that's been added to PeopleSafe either via a Story being told or directly by adding a new risk under the Safety Plans tab ) is rated as serious and a Safety Plan is needed to explain how to control the risk. These tasks are automated as part of the Tell Your Story® Process and should be completed as part of the risk management process in your Organisation.

More about Control Tasks

You will get a notification about, and access to, a Control Task when:

• A User in a Job you Manage adds a risk that appears serious
• You are a PeopleSafe Coordinator
• Your name has been added to a Control Task. 

This means if you can't find the task, it is most likely you have not been given, or no longer have access to it.  Your PeopleSafe Coordinator can help give you access.
