Adding New Hazards or Items

Hazards and other items can be added to a location map with a geo-location, or simply listed against a location if they do not have a specific geographic position.

You should create hazards that your workers or visitors need to be aware of. Start with significant hazards; e.g. chemical shed, powerlines, power poles, dams.

You can also add a wide range of items such as structures, fuel tanks, trees, assembly areas.

  • The file must have 4 columns titled:
    • Name  - this is required and must be a unique name to that hazard or item.
      eg. Power Pole 3.
    • Category - optional description of the item/hazard.
    • LAT (Latitude) and LNG (Longitude) - must either be BOTH populated or unpopulated. If only one of these two fields is populated there will be an error message when upload is attempted. Blank rows between items will upload a non-mapped item.
  1. Click the Import Items button in the top right.
    NOTE:  You have to draw at least a rough boundary for the location before you can import items.  The boundary can be adjusted after importing if necessary.



  2. Open your File Explorer on your computer and locate the .kml or .csv file that contains the items to be uploaded. Drag the file into the window.
