Occupational accidents: reporting 146 prevention

Additional data that can be included in the report are the name of the injured employee, medical costs, type of injury, and the name of the supervisor. Quarterly reports on vehicle accidents should include a comparison between the current and the previous year. The statistics should include the number of preventable, non-preventable, and total accidents by department. Reports should be circulated to management and the entire supervisory force. In addition, the reports can be used at monthly safety meetings. Smaller utilities may not have sufficient data to publish reports as frequently as every three months other techniques can be used to bring the information to the attention of the employee group. Specific records and reports include employee accident records, occupational injury reports, vehicle accident reports, and public injury reports. 

A root cause analysis is not a search for the obvious but an in-depth look at the basic or underlying causes of occupational accidents or incidents. The purpose of investigating and reporting the causes of occurrences is to enable the identification of corrective actions adequate to prevent recurrence and thereby protect the health and safety of the public, the workers, and the environment. Every root cause investigation and reporting process should include five phases. While there may be some overlap between phases, every effort should be made to keep them separate and distinct. The phases of a root cause analysis are...

We could find no study which links the extent of exposure to dangerous chemicals at the workplace to the occurrence of occupational diseases or occupational related diseases. However, the annual report of the German Federation of institutions for statutory accident insurance and prevention (Hauptverband der gewerblichen Berufsgenossenschafen - gives an idea of what the size of... 

Employees must feel motivated and comfortable about reporting hazards as a part of an accident prevention effort of the company. In like manner, accidents and injuries should be reported so that the facts relevant to causes of events can be determined without becoming a fault-finding witch hunt. Fault-finding certainly will not foster an honest search for the root causes and possible prevention of the occurrence and reoccurrence of various types of serious occupational events.

The first step in developing an accident investigation system is to set up a system that allows employees to report accidents (without retribution). If employees fear for their jobs, not only will they not report accidents, they will also hide information that could possibly prevent accidents. And of course companies are obligated by law to post any reportable injury. A reportable injury is an occupational death, injury, or illness that must be recorded on OSHA Form 200, Log of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. Other countries have comparable reporting systems. 

ABSTRACT Risk analysis is a tool to develop strategies of accident prevention, because it determines the factors involved and the acceptable risk level to a particular activity. One of the innovative methods gradually used to analyze occupational risks, as various areas of knowledge, are Bayesian Networks (BN). This paper aims to present a discussion about analysis of occupational risks with application of the BN as tool to identify risks. Thus was performed a systematic review analogous to protocol Statement for Reporting Systematic Reviews (Prisma).
