Behavior Observations are filled out while observing an employee performing a job/task, identifying any areas for safety improvement and ensuring all procedures are followed. You are also able to create a corrective action for follow up items, add photos/documents, and add notes. This document takes you through the steps of starting/completing a behavior observation on both the Web, and on demand through the mobile app (without it needing to be assigned to you).

4. You will be taken to a form. Answer the required questions (indicated by a red * ) and select the template you wish to complete.

  • NOTE: Behavior Observations require a Behavior Observation Template in order to start and complete. If none are available, please contact your iReportSource admin.

  • Admin level users, you may learn more about creating these templates HERE.

5. Once filled out, you may begin the Behavior Observation. Answer the questions as needed, noting any required questions (red * ). You may now also choose to Save for Later if you find yourself unable to complete the observation in that moment.

6. Add any documents or photos

7. Finally, record the signatures of the Observer (likely yourself) and the employee's signature (if an employee was being observed), hitting the Save Signature button after each one.
