Company Health & Safety Policy / Pre Construction Info / Construction Phase Plan

As you are working on an existing project and are likely to have already updated your Policy, Pre Construction Info and Construction Phase Plan with your wording, HBXL have not overwritten your content automatically.

The EASIEST way to apply the Covid-19 wording to these 3 documents is to create a NEW job, and you will automatically get the NEW Covid-19 measures in your Policy, Pre Construction Info and Construction Phase Plan.

However, if you don’t want to do that, there is a process to apply them to your existing job – which is basically to go through, clause by clause and apply them as follows:

For example, navigate to Policy Tab, and press the Open button next to a paragraph:

A dialog box opens. You’ll see an alternative paragraph is available for the section. 

Click on the section and then press OK to select the alternative “Covid-19” paragraph.

This will then apply it to your Policy /Pre-Construction Info / Construction Phase Plan

Unfortunately you will need to do this for every paragraph of your Policy, Pre-Construction Info and Construction Phase Plan. As above we have not wanted to override your wording as they are specific to your business and projects. The easiest and quickest way to apply the changes to your Health & Safety Xpert software, is to create a brand new project and they should be automatically applied.
