Tips and Tricks for Equipment and Personal Safety Management

Below is a list of tips and tricks for the Equipment and Personal Safety Management course. Click one of the items below to see information that may be helpful to you as you take the course.

Importance of Student-Created Data

It is extremely important that you work with your own data to maintain data integrity. You will be working on company 70 and site 70 where there is an equipment object structure created. When you create your own data, it is recommended that you add your initials, XX to the data codes, e.g., XXPN-5-31 for the object ID. It will be easy for you to find your data later on during the exercises, and no one else should be using your data.

In the Prerequisites-section of the exercises, some descriptions are set to *, which means that any appropriate data could be used.

Adding Data to Lists of Values

The Zoom feature helps you set up a piece of missing basic data using the List of Values, or to become familiar with the parameters set for a particular piece of basic data. An example of this is when you need to create an object level which has not been set up. With the cursor in the Permit Type field, click Zoom on the Commands menu (Shift+F9). The Permit Types window appears, where you can create the needed data.

Data Used in Course Material

If you are an instructor, additional information is available about the Racing database, which is the database used by all IFS Training Materials.

The Racing database contains different data layers, including the following two layers that form the foundation of the database:
