The previous person from the Assigned to field is relieved of responsibility and Utilization End date is entered. The new person is recorded on the Utilization tab of the Employee Files and Utilization start date is entered.

- Subtype: For use in the Employee Files, you can mark the small tools as protective equipment in this field. You can allocate protective equipment for workers on the HSW panel of the Employee Files.
If small tools are marked as protective equipment, two additional fields are shown (In Stock and Interval), where you can enter:
- In stock – The quantity of protective equipment which is still available is displayed - not supplied. The number decreases when you select protective equipment for the worker from the HSW panel.
- Interval – Enter the frequency (in months) specifying how often the protective equipment must be inspected or changed.
The bottom part of the form shows tabs with more detailed information on the selected small tool. For detailed information on each tab, see the chapter Fixed Assets.
