Start for freeHow to Build a Safety Incident Tracker
Create a workplace safety incident reporting and investigation system to record, track, and prevent incidents.
Step-by-step guide
6 steps
- 1
Define incident types and severity
Categorise incidents: near-miss, first aid, medical treatment, lost time, fatality. Severity drives the investigation depth and reporting requirements.
- 2
Build the tracker with Appaca
Tell Appaca "Build a safety incident tracker with incident reports, investigation workflow, corrective actions, and regulatory notifications." Appaca builds the system.
- 3
Create the incident report form
The report form needs: date, time, location, incident type, severity, people involved, witnesses, description, and immediate actions taken.
- 4
Set up the investigation workflow
Major incidents trigger an investigation: root cause analysis, contributing factors, and recommended corrective actions. Assign an investigation lead.
- 5
Track corrective actions
Each corrective action from an investigation is tracked with an owner, due date, and completion evidence.
- 6
Build safety metrics reporting
Dashboard showing incident rate, near-misses this month, open corrective actions, and year-on-year trend.
