Posted By SeanThompson I'm putting together an accident reporting database rather than using the accident book, what additional fields to people have? i will be using the accident book fields but i am wondering what else people ask for? does anyone have any copies or examples of the things they use?

Posted By J Knight Hi Sean, You should check this out with the Department for Work and Pensions as the BI510 accident book has legal status. They are quite happy for alternative records to be used but you should get their permission first, John

Posted By SeanThompson John, I was under the impression you can record the information you want? obviously taking the data protection act into account.

Posted By J Knight Hi Sean, You can for H&S purposes, but the BI510 is used for Industrial Injuries Claims under a set of Socal Security regs, and strictly speaking you need DWP approval to use another format. It's a very simple and fairly informal process; I rang them, was given a name to email, emailed the form and was sent an email back with permission. It took a few days, John

Posted By J Knight Can't remember, I got his name by ringing the DWP switchboard and exalpining what I was after, they seemed quite familiar with what I was wanting, John
