This table lists the user defined codes for incidents.

UDC Code	System Usage
Type of Incident Cost	Indicates the type of cost related to the incident. The values are stored in the UDC table (54HS/CT).
Drug and Alcohol Result	Indicates the drug and alcohol testing results. The values are stored in the UDC table (54HS/DR).
Incident Causal Factor	Indicates the causal factor of the incident. The values are stored in the UDC table (54HS/FC).
Incident Frequency	Indicates the frequency that an incident of this type might occur or has occurred. This is used as a measure of risk. The values are stored in the UDC table (54HS/FR).
Insurance Claim Status	Indicates the status of the insurance claim related to the incident. The values are stored in the UDC table (54HS/IS).
Other Classification	Indicates additional information when the Other option is selected in the Incident Classifications form in the Incident Master program. For example, you might use this UDC to specify that a fire or explosion occurred, that unsafe conditions are observed, or that a safety inspection or audit occurred. The values are stored in the UDC table (54HS/OC).
Potential Recurrence	Indicates the type of potential recurrence for an incident. The values are stored in the UDC table (54HS/PR).

Security Classification	Indicates the type of security incident. The values are stored in the UDC table (54HS/SC).
Incident Status	Indicates the current status of the incident. The values are stored in the UDC table (54HS/ST). Note: You can use the Special Handling Code for the Incident Status UDC (54HS/ST) to lock the incident. Locking the incident will prevent users from making further edits. A value of "L" in the Special Handling Code column will always lock an incident when the incident is set to that status, regardless of the processing option for conditional locking. A value of "X" or "A" will conditionally lock the incident from further edits if the corresponding processing option is turned on. "X" will lock the incident and activities from further edits, and "A" will lock the incident but allow edits for the activities.

Incident Task Type	Indicates the type of task assigned to the incident. The values are stored in the UDC table (54HS/TT).
Safety Metric Basis	Indicates the basis for the safety metrics for the incident. The value Hours is hard-coded but other values can be added. OSHA requires safety metrics, such as incident rate, to be based on hours. The values are stored in the UDC table (54HS/MB).
Record Type	Indicates the type of incident record, such as safety observation, safety inspection, near miss, or reportable incident. The values are stored in the UDC table (54HS/RT).
