Evaluation and Implementation
The Hazards/Incidents form covers all necessary fields for reporting an incident at workplace. It was developed in accordance with the style guide. In order to encourage employees to report all the incidents occur, it it important to make the form as practical as possible. This means the fewer fields in the reporting form, the more likely that staff will submit a form. In contrast, the more fields in the reporting forms, the more friction and consequently affecting the number of submission.
From the explanatory notes, it can been that there are not sufficient explanations on the incident hazard types as well as there are limited option to select in the form. A separate table with definition and explaning each categories will be useful for staff to select the correct option. It is also more efficient to provide multiple options and allow staff to choose or check the boxes with the relevant item rather than them entering the details. It is so that the final report with all incidents can easily classify and tract the incidents by categories and occurnence.
Below is the sample of explanation for serious injury:
Serious Injury is defined as an injury of a critical nature that:
Ÿ places life in jeopardy;
Ÿ produces unconsciousness;
Ÿ results in substantial loss of blood;
Ÿ involves the fracture of a leg or arm, but not a finger or toe;
Ÿ involves the amputation of a leg, arm, hand or foot, but not finger or toe;
Ÿ consists of burns to a major portion of the body; or
Ÿ causes the loss of sight in an eye.
