Hazard Sign-Off

Hazard Sign-Off is not a mandatory feature and the hazard still gets added regardless whether it has been signed off.

You can choose to add Sign-Off Personnel and click on the Request Sign-Off button to let the personnel know a new hazard has been added.

The personnel can 'approve' (acknowledge) the hazard. The 'reject' option is not currently available.
