What is an Access Point?
Access Points in UpKeep EHS allow teams to report safety incidents quickly by scanning a QR code that’s tied to a specific location. Each Access Point creates a direct link to the incident submission form, making it easier for anyone—whether they’re logged into UpKeep or not—to capture safety events in real time.
Why Use Access Points?
Ensure accurate location tracking for every incident report
