Integrate the IA System with Boards on Fire - Take Control of Your HSE Deviations

Managing deviations should be simple, efficient, and a natural part of your daily improvement work. By integrating your IA system (Information System for Work Enviroment) with Boards on Fire, you gain full visibility of reported events - directly on your digital management boards. 

Less manual work. When a deviation is reported in the IA system, it is automatically transferred to the correct board in Boards on Fire.

Faster response. Teams immediately see what has happened and can take quick, concrete actions - without anything falling trough the cracks. 

Everything in one place. With visualization and follow-up integrated into your daily routines, deviations management becomes both more efficient and more engaging. 

In this guide, we'll show how the integration works, what's required to get started - and how to get the most value from the connection.

How the Integration Between the IA System and Boards on Fire Works

The integration ensures that HSE deviations reported in your IA system are automatically sent to Boards on Fire, where they are displayed on a selected board. This makes your work environment managment a natural part of your daily operations - without spending time on manual follow-up.

• Importing Events form the IA System

The system automatically fetches events from the past 30 days, with an update interval of every 15 minutes. 

Note: It is not possible to retrieve data older than 30 days due to limitations in the IA system.

• Mapping File (preferably in Excel)

A simple list showing how you want information from IA to be mapped to your boards in Boards on fire - e-g-, wich fields to display and in what order.

To carry out the organizational mapping, the Excel file you send us should include the following columns:

Organization Name in Boards on Fire
IA Organizations-ID

Please ensure the information is correct before submitting the file. 

What We Import from the IA System

We do not retrieve any personal or sensitive data from the IA system.

The information imported into Boards on Fire is limited to:

• What happened (e.g., deviation, incident, near miss)
• Case number
  
• Date of the event
  
• Where the event occured (location/organization)

The purpose is to provide an aggregated overview - not to display individual-level data.
