# Disable the safety incident playbook

If you need to enable a tab-based experience for safety incidents in your instance, configure the property that disables the **Report an incident** playbook.

## Before you begin

Ensure that the application scope is selected as Health and Safety Incident Management. For more information, see [Application picker](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/application-development/c_ApplicationPicker.md).

Role required: sn\_ohs\_im.admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Health and Safety** > **Health and Safety administration** > **Properties**.

2.  In the **Flag to disable the playbook for Health and Safety Incidents** property, select **Yes**.


## Result

The following changes occur when the safety incident playbook is turned off:

-   Enables a tab-based experience for safety incidents. You can record the incident related information into these tabs:
    -   People involved
    -   Injury and illness
    -   Assets
    -   Root cause analysis
    -   Health and Safety actions
-   Enables the association of multiple injuries and illnesses to a single incident.
