Posted By Neil Pearson Hi All, Just looking for current ideas for tweaking the new accident report forms. Before the change (prompted by the data protection regs), I used to get my own forms made up and get them approved by DSS. What do people do now? The thing is, for a large site, having just one copy of each report is not much use, and the form doesn't record enough data for analysis of trends etc. Do people get completely tailor-made forms made up? In triplicate? Do some people just print supplementary forms on the backs of the standard forms? What must I be careful of in terms of data protection? I know that we'd need to carefully manage where all the copies go that have personal information, but that just needs a proper management system. I know this has been discussed before, but I 'd appreciate some up-to-date thoughts and ideas.

Posted By Dave Dowan Hi We use a free phone accident reportline, which has proved very effective. We can get data regarding trends etc. at any time and it is easy for our employees and managers to report an accident / incident Dave

Posted By Martin Taylor We have a completely seperate accident investigation form which is used to guide the investigator and manager through the process of investigation, data collection (for possible insurance and HSE follow up) and implementing preventative actions. I can forward you a copy if you would like. regards Martin T
