Appointees

A eSafeT Appointee represents individuals appointed in Health and Safety positions on a construction project. They are only created for safety file projects and an appointment letter is generated for each.

An Appointee can be one of a predefined set of Appointee Types.

Some of the Appointee Types are handled in a specialised way in the system. Some types are auto-created by the system on creating a Project and the logged-in user is restricted as to the actions that may be executed on these Appointees.
