Report Fatalities and Injuries

Print

Report the number of  fatalities and injuries in the  company, if any

Work-related hazards, ill health, and injuries are included as part of work-related injuries. It also covers both shortlatency and long-latency work-related ill health. Latency refers to the period between exposure and the onset of ill health. Separately captured are high-consequence work-related injuries such as fatalities. For additional disclosure, the company can report any actions taken or underway to eliminate other work-related hazards and to minimise risks. The company can also additionally report how the data was compiled (e.g., standards, methodologies and assumptions used) and further explain if any workers have been excluded. In addition, a list of chemical hazards, number of high-potential work-related incidents and number of close calls can also be disclosed. A company which has no control over both the work and workplace, still has a responsibility to make efforts, including any leverage it might have, to prevent and mitigate negative occupational health and safety impacts that are directly linked to its operations, products, or services by its business relationships.
