# Define an action schedule for affected people

Define an action schedule for the people affected by an exposure. The action schedule creates an action for each affected person when there's an active exposure for an exposure assessment.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_hs\_rm.industrial\_hygienist or sn\_hs\_rm.exposure\_writer

## About this task

The scheduler only runs when there are active exposures so that the actions are assigned to the actively exposed people.

## Procedure

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

2.  Select the risk management icon \(\[Omitted image "icon-risk-assessment.png"\] Alt text: Risk management icon\).

3.  Select the **Exposure types** list, open the exposure type, and select the exposure assessment record that you want to add the measurement to.

4.  In the **Action schedule** tab, select **New**.

5.  On the form, fill in the fields.

    For information on field descriptions, see [Action schedule form for an exposure](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/health-and-safety-risk-management/hs-action-schedule-form.md).

6.  Select **Save**.


## Result

-   The **Actions** tab appears for the action schedule.
-   An action record is created in the **Actions** tab for each affected person whenever there's an active exposure for the exposure assessment. An action schedule might generate multiple actions for the affected people over time.
