Incident Reporting Procedure Our system provides the facility for mobile auditing / checks so each month we have the target that every field worker has an individual check on them, usually performed by a supervisor or manager that takes between 5 - 10 minutes.
Each month we have 1 or more questions about their view on safety. The current question asks how they would improve the PPE they are issued with, but they have ranged from safety knowledge, behaviours to hazards and work methods.
Answers to these questions are populated into an automatic report and dashboard so we have a mostly live measure that gives us far more pro-active responses than ever before than with just passive near miss or hazard IDs. This also gets rid of the blame or the fear of being held accountable for a near miss because they are telling us what is unsafe, not what happened when who put their whats where.
It has the added benefit of evidence showing one aspect we are engaging with the workforce as well as an ongoing set of data we can analyse trends with regarding their behaviours, activities and even checks they have the training for the job they were doing at the time.
