SESSION -2 DEFINITIONS1:31
•Hazard - Anything that has the potential to cause harm.
•Risk - Risk is the combination of the likelihood of a hazardous event occurring, and the consequence of the event
•Incident - An undesired event that has caused or could have caused damage , death ,injury or ill health.
•Accident- An accident is an undesired event that does result in harm and/or property damage
•Near miss - A Near miss can be described as an incident that results in no injury or damage , but which has the potential to do so.
•Dangerous occurrence - One of a number of specific, reportable adverse events
•Days lost - Total number of days away from work due to an injury (except the day of the injury).
•First aid case - Injury which requires only immediate treatment action or care given to a person suffering from an injury or illness (NO LTI).
•Lost Time Injury (LTI) - A work-related recordable injury or illness where the injured person was away from work as a result of the recordable injury or illness.
•Medical treatment case (MTC) - Any injury that could be considered as being one that would normally be treated by a medical practitioner but does not result in the loss of a full day/shift.
•Risk control measures (Hierarchy of control)- We can expand the simple technical, procedural, behavioural hierarchy to give a more detailed hierarchy, which can then be used as a tool to select the most appropriate control measures. Sometimes, one control measure is effective in reducing the risk to an acceptable standard; in other instances, a combination of different types is needed.
The “hierarchy of control” is a concept used a great deal in health and safety. It is a list of options in order of importance, effectiveness or priority, written so that the most extreme and effective method of control is at the top of the hierarchy, with the least effective at the bottom.
•Immediate Cause - The most obvious direct cause of the accident.
•Underlying Cause - Unsafe act and unsafe condition which lead to underlying cause
•Root Cause - The ultimate failings from which all other failings occur.
•Unsafe Act - Human performance which is contrary to accept safe practice and which may ,of course, lead to an accident
Unsafe Condition - Basically everything else that is unsafe after you remove unsafe act.
