What are job types?
Job types in SafetyCulture are specific tasks that lone workers may perform within an organization. Organizations can customize settings for each job type to adjust the frequency of check-ins and establish panic thresholds depending on the job's risk level. With job types, organizations can enhance safety and responsiveness across different tasks and ensure that workers receive timely assistance when needed.
Organizations on Free Plan can only have 1 job type and 1 alert escalation.
