Posted By Bob Youel Remember that unless you measure 'like-for-like' situations your figures will not be truly representative a company may have many work situations that are entirely different to each other yet are the one business so stats and trends must reflect this

Posted By Konstanty Budkiewicz Stephen, I cannot fully understand what you are seeking. However, if you want a listing of common hazards in a working environment, then the attached link gives a good indication; http://www.rbkc.gov.uk/E...hs_accidentsinjuries.asp Using the injury groups listed in the link as a base line reporting criteria, we conduct a monthly review of reported incidents, and thereby prioritise our countermeasure programmes. Of late, we found that "paper cuts" were leading to minor injuries and blood spills on product packaging - having identified the "hot spot" we provided light weight glove protection. Hope this helps, Kon CMOISH

Posted By M Forbes Working for a multinational oil company i can tell you what our methods are for this situation, however i do not know if this would be cost effective, or even possible in your company. We have a server based "Performance Tracking System" that can be accessed from any company computer anywhere in the world. Whenever an accident happens, a report is submitted to QHSE, who log every detail in the system, this is also used to log investigation reports and findings, and even informs specific personnel of what they need to do to prevent reccurence. We use this system for everyhing however, including customer complaints, audits etc This is a very effective system that produces any type of report you want as all fields in the software are searchable. Its complicated and probably quite expensive, but its definately a route to look into as im sure there may be pre-designed software packages out there along this lines, our system is a system designed by our IT department in America, and has a dedicated team assigned to it, so probably not the best option for your company. Hope that helps Regards M Forbes

Posted By M Forbes Well in our method of reporting accidents, we have to choose 1 consequence. Of Which we choose the most serious. To answer your questionm (i think) we analyze our incidents based on the most serious consequence. Seriousness is in this order (highest to lowest) Fatality Lost time Incident Restricted Work Medical Treatment First Aid So all our figures are created by identifying 1 consequence per accident, there is no need to report the other consequences, as in nearly all circumstances the Primary consequence will entail all the other consequences, I.e. A Lost Time Incident will be a restricted work case, if an employee has been restricted from work its usually due to medical treatment, and medical treatment will nearly always include first aid. So to answer your question effectively i don't see a need to report the additional consequences. Hope this answers your question Regards M Forbes
