How to add a new exposure to an existing employee

Last Updated: July 14, 2025

You can log exposures to hazards of your employees in the exposure register in Collaborate. All information stored in the exposure register in the old ProductXchange module has been transferred to Cobuilder Collaborate.

Only users with the Company admin with Exposure register management role can edit information in the exposure register. See the article on how to edit the user role

If you want to add exposure to an existing employee, first go to HSE Management from the top menu and select Exposure register.

A list of all employees in the company is shown. You can add a new exposure of an existing employee by clicking on Add Exposure next to the employee’s name.

To the right, a window appears where you need to fill in information about the exposure such as job role, project, address, type of exposure etc. In this case we have decided to use Chemical exposure as an example:

1. Job role – here the job role is pre-filled, but you can also add a new role by selecting Add job role.

2. Select project – you can choose which project the employee works on.

3. Address – the address is automatically filled in when you select the project. If the project does not have an address yet, you can select Add location and enter the location’s latitude and longitude.

4. Type of exposure – from the drop-down menu you select the type of exposure. You can choose whether you want to look at all chemicals on the project or only at those that must be registered in the exposure register. After that you need to fill in the concentration of the chemical substance, exposure level and frequency of use.

NB! The fields under Type of exposure change after you select the type. For example, if you select asbestos, you will be prompt to enter the date of the health examination and the doctor’s name.

5. Period of exposure – it is possible to enter only the start date if the project is not finished.

6. Comments – here you can write additional information about the exposure if necessary.

After the information is filled in, click on Add. A window will appear where you need to confirm that the information is correct. Note that it is not possible to edit any fields except the end date of exposure.

When you’re done with filling in the needed information, you can just click on Add. A new window appears with a warning that the provided data for the exposure cannot be edited later. If you are sure that the information is correct, click on Confirm.
