Injury or Illness Case Information

You can track occupational injuries and illnesses by entering an injury or illness case along with the information that many governmental health and safety management organizations require.

You can track detailed information about any injuries or illnesses that the employees suffer during the performance of their jobs within the organization. This information includes the following, but it is not limited to:

  • Date of incident

  • Time of incident

  • Description of incident

  • Employee name

  • Description of the injury or illness

  • Part of body affected

You use the injury or illness case information to create and print regulatory health and safety reports.

After you enter the required information for an injury or illness, you can enter information about any additional injuries or illnesses for the person related to the same incident. Additional data includes any information that you want to track about injuries and illnesses, regardless of whether you need to report the case to governmental health and safety organizations.

To support the OSHA requirements to give all employees access to the information recorded for an injury or illness case, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Health and Safety Incident Management system provides a special view-only program, the Incident Case Inquiry program (P54HS210). This program provides a view of the data recorded on the OSHA 300 Log Report of the Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses and the OSHA 301 Injury/Illness Report, in the Tell us about your case section.

Note: The terms 'incident' and 'case' are used in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Health and Safety Incident Management system. An incident refers to a single occupational health or safety event at an organization. A case refers specifically to an injury or illness to an employee as a result of an incident. An incident can have several employees who are injured and therefore result in several cases. A single injured employee can have several injuries related to the same incident, but only the most severe injury is recorded as a case. The system allows you to record information about the additional injuries. However, the most severe injury is typically the one reported, and therefore you can record only one injury or illness as a case per employee per incident. The system tracks non-employees who are injured but cases would not be created for them. You use OSHA and BLS reports to report case information. Tracking all injured people and their injuries is important as you analyze incidents. You use the Incident People table (F54HS02) to record case information, and Incident Injury/ Illness table (F54HS021) to record additional injuries.
