There are a number of systems available off the shelf.
In my last company we used an Excel database to record our accidents & near misses which we were able to interogate to give out management information.
It has now been operating for 6 years with an average 400 entries per year of which about 8 were reportable.

It worked for us without spending much money.

We have an in-house web based database for recording incidents created using SQL. The output from that can be presented as an Excel spreadsheet and we can then do what we want with the incident information, create charts etc.
We have nearly 900 staff working on 30 odd sites, all of whom can acess the system themselves to log accidents/incidents/near-misses. It works for us and cost us nothing.

Just to support the above, we have a "no-frills" system in an Excel database that then produces tables, graphs etc. We have over 2000 entries per year and the system works fine.

We are multi-site but hold a centralised database and review all accident reports centrally, therefore the limitations of using Excel are not a problem for us.

To Mirror Jake's post - as we both work in retail - accidents are reported on the company Intranet - data extracted into Excel - then reported to the business on Crystal.

With regards investigation - every accident down to a paper cut has a full paper based investigation.

Works for us and we have over 2500 per annum.

Ngozi - similar to others we too use Datix - this is a comprehensive system that has add on modules depending on what you want out of it and to some extent what sort of business you are in. It has the ability to report on any completed field and to that extent it is very important to set the system up according to your needs. From our point of view it works OK but is constantly being developed. We have 170 sites, 3500 employees and curently log around 450 incidents a month.

Ngozi,

I have got a simple excel spreasheet developed from info provided on here by several members a few years ago.

It has got the formulas in for AFR's etc, you just need to put in accident types and work out your hours worked and it does the rest for you.

If you want a copy PM me with your email address and I'll send you a copy next time I'm in the office.

Regards

Clive
