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

  • Make it easier for frontline staff to report hazards quickly

  • Encourage real-time, consistent reporting across facilities


How to Create an Access Point

  1. Go to the EHS Module

    • From the left-hand menu, click Access Points under the EHS section

  2. Click “Create Access Point”

    • Use the blue + Create Access Point button in the top-right corner

  3. Enter Access Point Details

    • Name: Choose a descriptive name (e.g., “Lab 1 - Main Entrance”).

    • Location: Select the location this Access Point will be tied to from your existing UpKeep locations list

  4. Generate the QR Code

    • Click Generate QR Code to create the Access Point.

    • The system will generate a downloadable QR code

  5. Print and Display the QR Code

    • Post the QR code in the physical location for easy access

    • Anyone can scan the QR code to fill out and submit an incident report


Managing Access Points

  • Use the Actions menu to:

    • Re-download the QR code

    • Deactivate an Access Point if it's no longer needed

    • Archive it to keep a record while removing it from active view
