# Business Requirement Document

## Centralized AI-Powered HSE Incident Management & Reporting System

**Client:** Setia Corporation — 3PL Warehouse Operations  
**Prepared by:** Wee Ihan Yap  
**Version:** 1.0  
**Date:** 12 July 2026  
**Status:** Final  

---

## 1. Executive Summary

Setia Corporation currently manages Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) incident reporting through a combination of WhatsApp messages, Excel spreadsheets, and paper-based forms. This process creates significant gaps: delayed notifications, incomplete evidence, inconsistent classification, and manual workload for statutory DOSH reporting.

This document defines the business requirements for a centralized, AI-powered HSE Incident Management System (IMS) that replaces these manual processes. The system captures every incident digitally, runs a structured workflow from report through closure, tracks corrective actions, and generates statutory JKKP reports automatically — eliminating the administrative burden on HSE staff and ensuring zero missed regulatory deadlines.

---

## 2. Business Objectives

1. Replace WhatsApp/Excel/paper incident reporting with a single digital system capturing all incident types.
2. Enforce a structured, auditable workflow: report → triage → investigation → CAPA → verification → closure.
3. Track all Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs) to completion with automated escalation for overdue items.
4. Provide management with a live dashboard replacing monthly manual report compilation.
5. Ensure full compliance with Malaysian DOSH reporting obligations (NADOPOD 2004) without manual form-filling.
6. Use AI (Claude API) to reduce HSE admin burden: drafting summaries, suggesting root causes, flagging incomplete reports, and detecting risk patterns.

---

## 6. Incident Types

The system must support all seven incident types, each with a type-specific intake form:

1. **Injury / Medical Treatment Case** — LTI and non-LTI
2. **Near Miss** — fast, low-friction form (near-miss volume is the primary leading safety indicator)
3. **Unsafe Condition / Hazard Observation** — proactive, not tied to an event
4. **Property / Asset / MHE Damage** — forklift, racking, dock equipment
5. **Environmental Incident** — spill, leak, chemical release, waste
6. **Security Incident** — theft, unauthorized access
7. **Fire / Emergency Incident**

---

## 7. Incident Reference Format

Every incident auto-generates a unique reference number:

```
SITE-YYYYMM-####
```

Example: `KL01-202607-0042`

---

## 8. Functional Requirements

### 8.1 Incident Reporting

- Reporter scans a site/zone-specific QR code or opens the app
- System pre-fills site and zone from QR token (no manual entry)
- Reporter selects incident type and completes type-specific intake form
- Minimum one photo required for injury reports; video and documents optional
- System auto-generates incident reference number and timestamps report
- Automatic notification fires immediately to the relevant Supervisor and HSE Officer
- Offline capture supported: form data queued in browser (IndexedDB) and synced on reconnect

### 8.2 Triage & Initial Response

- Supervisor or HSE Officer confirms or reclassifies incident type
- Assigns severity level (1–5); AI may suggest a level but a human always confirms
- Workflow branches by type:
  - Injury: medical/first-aid path, LTI/non-LTI classification, lost-day tracking
  - Asset/MHE: emergency shutdown/LOTO, operator-error check, HR/discipline path if applicable
  - Environmental: containment steps, spill-kit deployment, environmental authority check
  - Near miss / hazard: skip to root-cause and CAPA directly
- System automatically evaluates incident data against NADOPOD 2004 rules and presents the applicable obligation (immediate DOSH notification / JKKP 6 / JKKP 7 / JKKP 8) as a checklist for the HSE Officer

### 8.3 Investigation & CAPA

- HSE enters witness statements, alcohol/urine test result (if applicable), evidence
- Structured root-cause analysis via selectable template: 5-Why or Fishbone (not free text only)
- Every CAPA item must record: description, responsible department/owner, due date, priority, and root-cause linkage
- Auto-escalation ladder:
  - 3 days before due date: reminder to owner
  - On due date: notify owner
  - 3 days overdue: notify owner's manager
  - 7 days overdue: notify HSE Officer, flag red on dashboard

### 8.4 Verification & Closure

- CAPA owner uploads completion evidence (photo/document proof) before marking CAPA as done
- HSE verifies effectiveness; if not effective, CAPA **reopens** (not closed with open gap)
- Once all CAPAs verified, HSE closes incident
- On closure: record locks against further edits; only addenda can be appended
- Closed incident automatically enters JKKP 8 annual register

### 8.5 Evidence Management

Evidence must be attachable at every lifecycle stage, not only at initial report:

| Stage | Expected Evidence |
|---|---|
| Report | Scene photo/video, hazard photo |
| Response | LOTO tag photo, first-aid record, medical referral letter |
| Investigation | Witness statement scans, CCTV export, equipment inspection report, alcohol/urine test result |
| CAPA | Before/after photos, purchase receipts, training attendance sheets, updated SOP |
| Verification | Final confirmation photo/video that corrective action is in place and effective |

Requirements:
- Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, HEIC, MP4, MOV, PDF, DOCX, XLSX
- Max file size: configurable (recommended 200 MB for video; compress on upload)
- Every file records: uploader, timestamp, incident ID, stage, immutable SHA-256 file hash
- Files retained minimum 5 years; never auto-deleted
- Thumbnail/preview generation so HSE can review without downloading

### 8.6 Notifications

| Channel | Use |
|---|---|
| Email | Formal records: investigation assignment, CAPA assignment, closure notifications |
| WhatsApp Business API | Time-critical alerts: new serious incident, CAPA overdue escalation |
| In-app notification bell | All events for all users; unread badge count; dropdown list |

### 8.7 Dashboard & Analytics

- Total incidents, near misses, severity rate, open vs. closed counts
- **Leading vs. lagging indicator split** (near miss/hazard = leading; injury/LTI = lagging)
- Site/zone/shift heatmap — critical for multi-warehouse operations
- CAPA on-time completion rate (%)
- Top incident category and top root cause, trended over 12 months
- DOSH-reportable incident count and filing status (filed / pending / overdue)
- AI rising-risk zone flags: zones with statistically increasing incident frequency
- Export to PDF/Excel for board reporting

### 8.8 AI-Assisted Capabilities

All AI outputs are suggestions that a human reviews and approves — never auto-submitted to DOSH and never auto-closed without human sign-off.

| Capability | Description | Business Value |
|---|---|---|
| Report quality check | Flags incomplete reports before submission (missing photo on injury report, vague description) | Fixes delayed/incomplete information problem |
| Severity/category suggestion | Suggests severity level (1–5) and incident category from free-text description | Speeds triage, reduces classification inconsistency |
| Similar incident retrieval | Surfaces top-5 past incidents with similar description/location/equipment via vector similarity | Reveals recurring hazards; supports trend detection |
| RCA/CAPA drafting assistant | Suggests likely root causes and draft corrective actions from investigation notes | Cuts write-up time, improves CAPA consistency |
| JKKP form auto-fill | Generates JKKP 6/7 PDF drafts and JKKP 8 annual register from stored data | Removes single biggest admin burden |
| Risk heatmap / prediction | Combines near-miss, incident, and hazard data by site/zone/shift to flag rising-risk areas | Predictive safety capability tuned to Setia's own warehouses |

All AI suggestions logged to audit trail: what was suggested and what the human ultimately chose.

### 8.9 DOSH Compliance (NADOPOD 2004)

The system encodes Malaysia-specific statutory reporting rules and automatically determines the applicable obligation:

| Situation | Obligation |
|---|---|
| Fatality or serious bodily injury (NADOPOD First Schedule: fracture, amputation, loss of sight) | Notify nearest DOSH office immediately; submit JKKP 6 within 7 days |
| Dangerous occurrence (Second Schedule: boiler explosion, structural collapse) regardless of injury | Notify DOSH immediately; submit JKKP 6 within 7 days |
| Other injury causing incapacity for more than 4 consecutive days | Submit JKKP 6 within 7 days |
| Occupational poisoning or disease (Third Schedule) | Submit JKKP 7 within 7 days |
| Any of the above | Also logged in JKKP 8 annual register; retained on-site 5 years; submitted to DOSH before 31 January each year |

### 8.10 Admin Management

- User management: invite by email, assign role and site, activate/deactivate
- Site CRUD: name, address, region, active flag
- Zone CRUD: name per site, QR code generation and download per zone
- All admin actions logged to audit trail

## 14. Assumptions & Constraints

- All warehouse sites have internet access sufficient for mobile web browsing; offline mode covers low-signal periods only.
- Users are expected to have a smartphone (Android minimum); desktop access available for HSE Officers and management.
- Supabase free/starter tier sufficient for initial rollout; video-heavy storage may require upgrade to Supabase Pro or Cloudflare R2 migration at scale.
- `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY` must be set in production environment for admin user-invite functionality.
- WhatsApp Business API requires approved Meta Business account and message templates before production use.
- VPS cron jobs must be registered for CAPA escalation and effectiveness recheck automation post-deployment.
- Evidence files must never be deleted; storage cost is a known ongoing operational expense.
