What is a Register of Injury?
This may take the form of a book of printed leaflets available from the insurer, or your own loose leaf folder may also be used. All injuries and near misses should be recorded on these sheets. The Information must include date, time, place of injury, type of injury, body part injured, cause if known, persons involved and what action if necessary was taken (eg first aid required), who witnessed or assisted the injured worker and any further action required. This information should be passed to the employer and/or practice manger and confidentiality maintained. A risk assessment of the practice procedures should follow to prevent this accident or injury recurring.
