Approximately 17,000 lost-time injuries occur every year due to workplace falls. Workplace Safety North's research states that in Ontario 80 workers are injured every day in a Slip, trip, or fall. It's not just Ontario or Canada, in 2018/2019 581,000 self-reported injuries came out of the U.K. leading to 28.2 million working days lost.

Injury and illness prevention is a top priority, so should be the reporting of such incidents. Workplace health and safety reporting is imperative for any organization to meet industry rules and regulations. Reporting is also important for insurance claims, incident prevention, risk management, and pattern tracking.

Manual accident reporting comes with limitations. Reporting on paper makes mountains out of molehills when it comes to risk management and pattern tracking used to improve incident prevention. Ideally, forms contain consistent information with ease of accessibility and are on time with zero errors. This can be a very time-consuming process with a negative impact on the productivity of the organization as a whole.

A Better Way: Injury and Illness Reporting with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources

Microsoft Dynamics 365 HR contains a little known capability: "Injury or Illness Incident Management” where any such incidents can be recorded in a structured format. Use this feature to record all important information relating to the incident, including the outcomes that follow such as, medical treatment, referrals to medical professionals, and specifics of the injury or illness. Incident recording includes an audit trail of safeguards, cause, and location to ensure accuracy if a copy of the report was requested. Store injury files and treatments right in the incident record so all the relevant information you need for insurance claims is easily accessible.

Example Data Capture Form:

Record and monitor confidential information regarding medical treatments following an incident. The worker record within Microsoft Dynamics 365 HR has a chronological history of all events to keep you audit-ready. This allows for the monitoring of trends and a continually updating history of accidents relating to specific employees. Only the authorized personnel will have access to sensitive information thanks to the system's security capabilities. These tools enable managers to keep their team's safe.
