Accessing EHS Settings

  1. In the UpKeep EHS sidebar, scroll down to Settings

  2. Under Settings, you’ll find:

    • OSHA Locations

    • Hazards

    • Control Measures

  3. Click on the section you want to manage

This gives you one central place to keep OSHA data, hazards, and control measures consistent across your organization.


OSHA Locations

OSHA Locations let you organize and standardize workplace locations for compliance and reporting

Create an OSHA Location

  1. Go to Settings > OSHA Locations

  2. Click + Create OSHA Location

  3. Enter the location Title

  4. Click Create OSHA Location

Your OSHA Locations can then be linked to JHAs, OSHA logs, and safety events.


Hazards

The Hazards library stores hazard types that can be used across all JHAs. This ensures consistent hazard naming and makes analysis easier.

Add a Hazard

  1. Go to Settings > Hazards

  2. Click + Create Hazard

  3. Enter a Hazard Name (e.g., “Chemicals”)

  4. Select a Hazard Category (Chemical, Electrical, Ergonomic, Fall, Fire, Mechanical, etc.)

  5. Click Create Hazard

Once created, hazards can be reused in multiple JHAs.


Control Measures

The Control Measures library stores safety controls that can be applied to hazards. This helps your team maintain standardized language and safety practices.

Add a Control Measure

  1. Go to Settings > Control Measures

  2. Click + Create Control Measure

  3. Enter a Control Measure Name (e.g., “PPE”)

  4. Select a Control Measure Type (Engineering, Administrative, PPE, Elimination, Substitution)

Control Measures can then be linked to hazards in JHAs to show how risks are managed.
