How to Start Using Your HSEBox

How to Start Using Your HSEBox Application

Now that you have installed your application and completed all the necessary settings for your project, it is time to start adding observations, incidents, activities, and other records.

Before you begin, there are two very important steps you must complete.

1. Define Your Project Areas

Go to Settings, then open Project – Site – Areas.
Here, you must define all the areas where you will work inside your project.

In the previous video, we created one example area.
But you should add every area you will use in the system.

For now, having one area is enough to continue,
but make sure you complete all areas later.

2. Add Your Team Members

Next, go to Staff.


Here you must add the people who will be part of your project.

There are two categories of people you must insert:

  1. Your Health and Safety team – the technicians who will create observations.

  2. The responsible persons – the people who will close and correct the observations.

Let’s add the first person, from the Health and Safety team.

  • Name: Peter

  • Department: Health and Safety

  • Job Title: Safety Officer

  • Area: Select from the list (right now we only have one)

  • ID Number: Add any number for testing

  • Phone Number: Add any number

  • Nationality: This list comes from the settings

  • Education Level: Also defined in settings

  • Specialization: For example, Construction Safety

  • Email: peter@example.com

Then answer the questions about certifications:

  • If he has a NEBOSH diploma

  • If he has ISO 45001 certification

  • If he has other certificates

  • And if he has a driving license

Choose the date he joined the company,
and the date he started his role.
For now, we can select today.

Click Save.

Now let’s add a second person from the Production department.
This is important because, without a person responsible for actions,
you will not be able to submit any observations.

Click New Staff.

  • Department: Production

  • Name: John

  • Job Title: This list is different, also defined earlier

  • ID Number: Add any number

  • Phone Number: Add any number

  • Nationality: For example, Egyptian

  • Education: Choose one option

  • Email: Any email for testing

  • Start Date: Today

  • Role Start Date: Today

Click Save.

Now you have two people added.
In a real situation, you must insert your full team:
your entire Health and Safety team,
and all responsible persons from the production side.

You Are Now Ready to Add Data

With your areas and your team defined,
you can now start entering real information.

Let’s start with an Observation, since this app is designed for safety professionals.

Click New Observation.

Choose the details:

  • If the observation is positive or negative

  • Who raised the observation (Peter, from the HSE team)

  • Who is responsible for closing it (John, from Production)

  • The location (right now we only have Area 1)

  • Shift: morning, afternoon, or night

  • Date and time of the observation

  • The category, such as Health and Safety

  • If it is an internal observation or not

  • Risk level

  • Hazard type

  • Due date for closing the observation

  • Activity type, such as a walkthrough or an audit

Now write the full description of the observation.
Indicate whether the work stopped or continued.

For the photo:
the system does not upload photos,
it only creates a link to the photo.
This means you must store your photos in a folder on your computer,
well organized by month or year.

Click to add the photo, choose it from your computer,
and the system will save the link.

Click Save.

If you want to view the observation, just click the view button.
You will see all the details, including the photo.

You can edit or update the observation at any time.
You cannot delete observations.

Important Reminder

To start using the application correctly, you must have:

  1. All project areas defined.

  2. All team members added —
    both Health and Safety staff and the responsible persons who will close actions.

These steps are essential.


Without them, you cannot enter observations, incidents, or any other data.
