  • Incident category ratios
    We work in the construction sector supplying , scaffolding, rigging , engineering services.
    we don't focus on lag indicators , and have been encouraging staff to report positive safety behaviours and near miss reporting.
    This has been growing momentum of the pass few months and year to date our figures are;
    SBO= 669 , NM= 188, and our lag indicators non treatment injuries +15 , 1st aid = 11 , MT=1, LTI = 1
    All incidents are either investigated or reviewed and discussed at our H&s Reps meetings.
    Making it easy for the workers to report and providing feedback is key to helping getting this change.
