1Include exposure hours and HSSE statistics expended by subcontractors performing work subcontracted by you.
2For each Fatality, provide a description of the incident, the root / contributing causes, and the action plans to
prevent reoccurrence.
DEFINITIONS:
Fatality: Any work-related injury or illness that results in death. Fatalities arising from
suicide, inexplicable personal behaviour or natural causes shall be excluded.
Lost Time Incidents: Any work related fatality, injury or illness which prevents that person
from doing any work for any day excluding the day of the incident.
Restricted Workday Cases: A work-related injury or illness is RWC if it results in restriction
of work or motion, or transfer to another job.
Restricted work means after an injury or illness:
The employee is kept by you from performing one or more of the routine functions of
their job or from working the full workday that they have been supposed to work
otherwise; or
The employee is recommended by a physician or other licensed health care
professional not to perform one or more of the routine functions of their job, or not work
the full workday that they have been supposed to work otherwise
Transfer to another job means after an injury or illness (not the day of the injury or illness)
the employee is assigned to a job by you other than their regular job for part of the day.
Medical Treatment Cases:
MTC is a work-related injury or illness that results in medical treatment beyond first aid. MTC
excludes death, one or more days away from work and one or more days of restricted work.
In order a work-related injury or illness to be a MTC, the employee must receive medical
treatment remaining at work while not being restricted. ‘Medical treatment’ is defined as
combating disease or disorder by management and care of a patient. It does not include:
Visiting a physician or other licensed health care professional only for observation or
counselling
Conducting diagnostic procedures (X-rays and blood tests, administering prescription
medications only for diagnostic purposes such as using eye drops in order to dilate pupils)
First aid
First Aid Case: First Aid Case is a work-related injury or illness that requires the person
receiving treatment from a qualified First Aid Attendant and is not an injury/illness that is
categorised as ‘Recordable’. The following types of treatment are considered as first aid:
To use medications that are non-prescription at non-prescription strength
To administer tetanus immunisations (other immunisations, Hepatitis B vaccine,
rabies vaccine, etc. are considered medical treatment)
To clean, flush, or soak wound that are on the surface of the skin
To use wound coverings (bandages, BandAids TM, gauze pads, etc.), or to use
SteriStrips TM or butterfly bandages
To use hot or cold therapy
To use totally non-rigid means of support (elastic bandages, wraps, non-rigid bask
belts, etc.)
To use temporary immobilisation devices (splints, slings, neck collars, or back
boards) during transportation of an accident victim
To drill a fingernail or toenail for relieving pressure, or to drain fluids from blisters
To use eye patches
To use simple irrigation or a cotton swab for removing foreign bodies that are not
embedded in or adhered to the eye
To use simple means (irrigation, tweezers, cotton swab, etc.) for removing splinters
or foreign material from all areas but eyes
To use finger guards
To use massages
To drink fluids for relieving heat stress
Near Misses: An incident that under slightly different circumstances, could have caused
harm to people, environment, assets or company reputation, but did not.
Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR): The frequency of lost time injuries per 200,000
hours worked/at risk.
Recordable Case: Recordable Cases are the sum of the number of Fatalities, Lost Time
Injuries/Illnesses, Restricted Workday Cases and Medical Treatment Cases.
Recordable Injuries Frequency Rate (RIFR): The frequency of recordable injuries per
200,000 hours worked/at risk.
Environmental Incidents (Major severity): Major pollution event leading to long-term
widespread damage or Statutory Notices, extensive clean up requiring national/
international support to contain and/ or clean up
Environmental Incidents (Serious severity): Substantial pollution event leading to large-
scale regional damage or Statutory Notices, clean up may require national support and result
in delays to schedule
Environmental Incidents (Medium severity): Moderate pollution event leading to local
damage, Statutory Notices, clean up and corrective action
Environmental Incidents (Minor Severity): A low or contained pollution event, slight or no
effect, no offsite impact, minor breach requiring corrective action e.g. few litres of liquid
spill
Green House Gases: Are the six gases listed in the Kyoto Protocol: carbon dioxide (CO2);
methane (CH4); nitrous oxide (N2O); hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs); perfluorocarbons (PFCs);
and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) which contribute to global warming
Security Incident (Major severity): One or more fatalities resulting from a security
incident, property or equipment damage/theft in excess of $1M, kidnap or bomb threat
Security Incident (Serious severity): Life changing injuries resulting from a security
incident, property or equipment damage/theft ($100k - $1M), sexual assault,
extortion/blackmail, missing person
Security Incident (Medium severity): LTI, medical treatment or RWC resulting from a
security incident, possession of illegal items or property or equipment damage/theft ($10k
- $100k)
Security Incident (Minor severity): Non-recordable injuries/FAC resulting from a security
incident, minor criminal acts or attempts or property or equipment damage/theft (<$10k)
