What should be included in KPI reporting of incidents?

KPI reporting of incidents should include several key elements to ensure thorough analysis and preventative action. These elements encompass incident details, contributing factors, and corrective measures [1].

Key components to include in incident KPI reporting:

1. Incident Description:

• Date of incident [1]
• Time and location of the occurrence [2]
• A description of the incident [1], including the sequence of events and conditions [3]

2. Contributing Factors:

• The factors that contributed to the incident [1]
• Root causes and means for preventing a recurrence [4]
• Identification of hazards or failures in engineering, work practice, and administrative controls [5]

3. Personnel Data:

• Victim's personal data, including name, address, age, sex, nationality, job title, date of employment, and time in position [3], [6]
• Training for the job being performed at the time of the incident [3], [6]

4. Equipment/Process Data:

• Equipment type, manufacturer, model, and condition [3], [6]
• Details of the process involved, including misuse and maintenance program [3], [6]

5. Corrective Actions and Recommendations:

• Any recommendations resulting from the investigation [1]
• Resolutions and corrective actions taken [1]
• Long-term actions to prevent similar incidents [7]

6. Safety and Health Program:

• Information on whether the employer has a safety and/or health program [3], [6]
• How the elements of the program are specifically implemented at the worksite [3], [6]

7. Reporting and Review:

• Review the report with all affected personnel whose job tasks are relevant to the incident findings [1]
• Establish a system to promptly address and resolve the incident report findings and recommendations [1]

8. Record Keeping:

• Retain incident investigation reports for a specified period (e.g., five years) [1]

This information should be documented thoroughly to facilitate learning from past experiences and preventing future incidents [8].
