Does the entity monitor safety indicators at construction sites?
Assessment Instructions
Intent: What is the purpose of this indicator?
This indicator evaluates how the entity monitors safety performance at its construction sites. Monitoring and reporting on incidents, injuries, and fatalities over time is an important part of prudent risk management, helping identify patterns and guiding measures to reduce health and safety risks.
Input: How do I complete this indicator?
Select yes or no. If yes, select all applicable sub-options and complete the additional open fields.
Injury rate: Report the injury rate for the total workforce, i.e., total employees and supervised workers, as well as independent contractors working on site to whom the entity is liable for the general safety of the working environment.
Open text box: For injury rates, it is mandatory to use the open text box to explain the applied calculation method/formula.
Fatalities: Fatalities are expressed as a number.
Terminology
Fatalities
The death of a worker arising from an occupational injury or disease sustained or contracted while in the entity’s employ.
Injury
Any instance of being injured, (including occupational diseases and occupational disabilities, and fatalities) arising from operations. Includes incidents involving contractors/sub-contractors, site visitors and members of the public. The injury rate is expressed as a rate (e.g. a fraction). Use the open text box to explain the applied calculation method/formula.
Injury rate
A measure of the total number of instances of being injured, (including occupational diseases and occupational disabilities, and fatalities) arising from operations expressed as a percentage of total number of employees.
Lost day rate
A measure of the impact of occupational accidents and diseases as reflected in time off work by the affected workers. It is expressed by comparing the total workdays lost due to occupational injury to the total days scheduled to be worked by the workforce during the reporting year.
Near misses
A work-related event with the potential to cause injury, disability or disease to workers or the public (also known as “dangerous occurrences”).
Severity rate
A measure of the severity of incidents. It is expressed by taking the total number of lost work days over the total number of recordable incidents.
Validation: What evidence is required?
No evidence required. Only the 'Other' answer is manually validated.
Other Answer
State the other metric. It is possible to add multiple other answers. If multiple other answers are acceptable, only one will be counted towards scoring.
