What accidents and injuries should I record in the Business HealthCheck tool?
This is a health and safety metric to record the number of accidents and injuries that occur each year in the firm. It is assumed that any lost days due to the incident are captured in sickness absence days. All employers must report specific workplace injuries to the Health and Safety Executive under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995. If your organisation collects data on minor injuries, these can also be recorded in the tool. The purpose of reporting on this metric is to estimate/monitor changes to this metric associated with any health/well-being programme.
