# Manage people involved in a safety incident

Add a person involved or modify the information of an existing person involved in a safety incident.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_ohs\_im.manager, sn\_ohs\_im.agent, or sn\_ohs\_im.operations\_manager

## About this task

People involved are individuals who are directly or indirectly connected to an incident, such as an injured person, collaborators added to the watch list, witnesses, and other relevant individuals. These individuals can be from within or outside your organization.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Health and Safety** > **Health and Safety Workspace**.

2.  Open a safety incident assigned to you in which you want to add involved people.

3.  Select the **Report an incident** tab.

    The incident playbook opens.

4.  In the **Add people involved** activity, add or modify a person involved.

    -   To add a person involved, fill in the fields in the **Add persons involved** section.
    -   To modify the record of an existing person involved, select the person in the **People involved** list to open it.
    For field descriptions, see [People Involved form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/health-and-safety-incident-management/hs-people-involved-form.md).

5.  Select **Save**.

6.  To mark this activity as complete, select **Mark complete**.

    The next activity or stage becomes available in the playbook.


## Result

The involved person is listed in the People involved section of the activity. The involved person's card also appears in the People involved section in the **Incident Overview** tab.

## What to do next
