Step 2: Collect Relevant Data - Records

Several types of records can provide data on the effectiveness of safety and health changes.

Useful data include the following:

  • Injury frequency and rates
  • Workers compensation costs
  • Lost workdays and absenteeism due to work-related injuries
  • Profit and loss
  • Air sampling data, noise readings
  • Production errors or waste
  • Cost of respiratory equipment or ear protection

Records should be checked for completeness and accuracy before they are used.
