What Happens Next?

On receipt of a completed application form, the IRIS Administrator will enter the relevant individual Company Details into IRIS and then provide the New User with; (i) a Company ID and (ii) a Password. This will allow the New User access to IRIS and enable them to start inputting data into the IRIS system.

It is encouraged that New Users also enter any available historical company H&S data, to allow a 12 month rolling calculation to be developed for the New User company from the start. Ideally 24 months of data is required for this rolling average calculation to be completely accurate. If this level of historical information is unavailable, then the limits of any information gained from the rolling average calculations should be acknowledged.
