Understanding Incident, Injury, and Illness Tracking

Consistent and uniform data collection is an important element of an organization's health and safety program. Standardized records best utilize the information that you use to manage a health and safety program and to meet government and insurer reporting requirements.

Use Monitor Health and Safety to track information specific to health and safety incidents, and to update codes and descriptions as government regulations change. Most of the setup tables are designed so that you can enter multiple occurrences of a code or description.

When you create information in these tables, enter effective dates that are before the effective dates of any incidents that you enter. Otherwise, all the valid codes do not appear in prompt lists on the Monitor Health and Safety pages.
