In today's dynamic risk landscape—whether it's operational risk or health and safety—incident reporting is more than a compliance exercise; it's a critical component of organisational resilience. Yet most employees aren’t experts in GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) or HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment). That’s why risk teams need systems that make it easy for everyone to report incidents accurately and efficiently.
Optial eliminates common barriers to incident reporting by providing multiple intuitive and accessible submission methods, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
Webcapture Form: A Hassle-Free Way to Report Incidents
Optial's Webcapture Form is built for simplicity and speed. Available via secure company intranet or internal portals, employees can submit incidents without logging into the Optial platform—perfect for those who rarely interact with risk systems.
Why it works:
No login required – Forget password resets or unfamiliar interfaces.
Mobile-compatible – Submit incidents directly from a smartphone or tablet, wherever they happen.
Cost-efficient – Unlimited employee access with no individual licensing costs.
By making incident reporting frictionless, organisations can ensure high participation rates and timely responses.
API-Powered Integration: Real-Time Reporting Across Platforms
Have incident data stored in other platforms? Optial’s Web API Module ensures that your incident records stay unified and up-to-date across systems.

In action:
A recent integration between Optial and a client's JIRA platform allowed incidents of a certain priority to be captured in both systems.
Updates made in JIRA automatically synced with Optial.
Stakeholders received real-time email notifications with full incident details—regardless of which system triggered the report.
This seamless interoperability promotes better collaboration across teams and eliminates duplication or data silos.
Intelligent Management: From Capture to Continuous Improvement
Once incidents are submitted, Optial’s Incident Management Module takes the lead—helping organisations manage every stage of the process with precision.
Capture & Categorise
Record incidents in real time, categorise by:
Business impact
Severity level
Regulatory relevance
Automated alerts and clear ownership assignments keep the resolution process on track.
Investigate & Resolve
Perform structured Root Cause Analysis (RCA), connect incidents to existing risks or gaps, and assign corrective actions with tracking workflows that drive accountability.
Analyse & Learn
Leverage dashboards, heat maps, and detailed reports to uncover patterns, emerging threats, and performance gaps—all sortable by location, business unit, or event type.
