Classify an injury for the rates

An injury counts in the rates only once someone records its outcome. With Insights on, every incident of the injury or illness kind has an Injury outcome section.

Before you start

• Admins and safety officers can classify any injury; project or site managers, injuries on their own sites.
• The incident is reported as an injury or illness. See Site safety.

How to classify an injury

1. 1Step 1: Open the incident. Injuries not classified yet are listed in a warning on Insights → Injury rates and hours: choose the number.
2. 2Step 2: Under Injury outcome, choose the Outcome: Fatality, Lost time injury (LTI), Restricted duty injury, Medical treatment injury (MTI), First aid injury or No treatment needed. Each has a one-line definition beside it.
3. 3Step 3: For a lost time injury, enter Days lost: the working days or shifts off after the day it happened (at least one).
4. 4Step 4: For a restricted duty injury, enter Days on restricted duties (at least one). A lost time injury can have restricted days too.
5. 5Step 5: Choose Save outcome.

What happens next

• The rates include it straight away.
• Update the days lost as they add up, even after the incident is closed.
• Every change is audited, with what it was before.

Common questions

• I get "Days lost make it a lost time injury". Medical treatment, first aid and no treatment have no days lost. If the person lost a full day or shift, choose Lost time injury (LTI).
• Two people were hurt. Report each person's injury as its own incident, then classify each.
• I can't see Injury outcome. It shows only on injury or illness incidents while Insights is on.

Limits

• Days are whole numbers from 0 to 3,650.
