WHY ACCIDENT NEEDS TO BE REPORT ? To know the reason why the operation went wrong
recommend corrective action to be taken to prevent a re- occurrence of the incident.

JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS (JSA)- Is a method that can be used to identify analyze and record the steps
involved in performing a specific job the existing or potential safety and health hazards associated
with each step and the recommended action procedure that will be eliminate or reduce these hazards
and the risk of a workplace injury or illness.

Engulfment:

The surrounding and effective capture of a person by a liquid or finely divided solid substances.

Entry: The act by which a person intentionally passed through an opening into a permit required
confined space and includes ensuing work activities in that space the entrant is considered to

Entry Permit system:

The employers written procedure for preparing and issuing permit for entry and retuning the permit
space to service following termination of entry and designates by name or title the individuals who
may authorize entry,

Hazardous Atmosphere:

An atmosphere which exposes employees to a risk of death, incapacitation, injury or acute illness
from one or more of the following cause,

Hot work Permit:

The employers written authorization to perform operation which could provide a source of ignition,
such as riveting, welding, cutting burning, or heating.

Isolation ; The separation of a permit space from unwanted forms of energy which could be a
serious hazard to permit space entrants. Isolation is accomplished by such means as blanking or
blinding , removal or misalignment of pipe section or spool pieces double block and bleed, or locked
and or tag out of all energy sources.

Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) : A minimum concentration of a combustible gas vapor or dust in the air
which ignite in the presence of an ignition source
Line Breaking : Means the intentional opening of a pipe line or duct that is or has been carrying
flammable, corrosive, or toxic material, an inert gas or any fluid at a pressure or temperature capable
of causing injury

Low hazard permit space :A permit space where there is an extremely low likelihood that an IDLH or
engulfment hazard could be present and where all other serious hazards have been controlled.

Not permitted condition : Any condition or set of condition whose hazard potential exceeds the limits
stated in the entry permit

Oxygen deficient Atmosphere :An atmosphere containing less than 20 percent oxygen by volume

Oxygen enriched atmosphere :An atmosphere containing more than 23.5 percent oxygen by volume,

Permissible Exposure Limit: The maximum eight hour time weighted average of any air bone
contaminant to which an employee may be exposed however at no time shall the exposure level
exceed the ceiling concentration for that contaminant.

Permit required confined space ( permit space ): An enclosed space which is large and so configured
that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work

A safe system of work is a procedure to eliminate the risk involved in an operation. If elimination is not
possible, then, at least, to reduce the risk to an acceptable level.

Calculations:

OSHA Recordable Incident Rate (IR)

The OSHA Recordable Incident Rate (or Incident Rate) is calculated by multiplying the number of
recordable cases by 200,000, and then dividing that number by the number of labor hours at the company.

Number of OSHA Recordable Cases X 200,000

IR = -----------------------------------------------------------
Number of Employee labor hours worked

Lost Time Case Rate (LTC)

The Lost Time Case Rate is a similar calculation, only it uses the number of cases that contained lost work
days. The calculation is made by multiplying the number of incidents that were lost time cases by 200,000
and then dividing that by the employee labor hours at the company.

Number of Lost Time Cases x 200,000

LTC Rate = -----------------------------------------------------
Number of Employee Labor Hours Worked

DART Rate (Days Away/Restricted or Job Transfer Rate)

The DART rate is relatively new to industry. This rate is calculated by adding up the number of incidents
that had one or more Lost Days, one or more Restricted Days or that resulted in an employee transferring to
a different job within the company, and multiplying that number by 200,000, then dividing that number by
the number of employee labor hours at the company.

Total Number of DART incidents x 200,000

DART Rate = -----------------------------------------------------
Number of Employee Labor Hours Worked

Severity Rate (SR)

The severity rate is a calculation that gives a company an average of the number of lost days per recordable
incident. Please note, that very few companies use the severity rate as a calculation, as it only provides an
average. The calculation is made by dividing the total number of lost workdays by the total number of
recordable incidents.

Total number lost workdays

SR = ---------------------------------------------
Total number of recordable incidents

The records and statistics covers the recording and treatment of data necessary for the computation of
incident and injury rates of employees, and forms a general basis for analysis of the reported incident and
injuries. This information will then be utilized to examine the safety and health program, which may assist in
the identification of trends and what measures should be undertaken to improve incident prevention.
