Indian Standard IS: 3786 - 1983 (Reaffirmed 2002) Prescribes Basic Methods For Recording and Classifying

The document discusses occupational safety and health organizations in India such as OSHA and how safety is monitored at the state level. It defines accidents and unsafe conditions. Unsafe acts and conditions can lead to accidents and injuries. Proper risk assessment, hazard identification, control, education and other safety measures are needed to reduce accidents. Metrics like frequency rate, severity rate and incidence rate are used to measure accidents. The Frequency Severity Indicator provides a combined effect of injuries and lost work days. An Integrated Safety Management System incorporates safety into all levels of management and work practices.

 Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)

 National Safety Council (NSC)


 Occupational health remains under the Ministry of Labour.
 Safety monitoring by the Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health at the state level that operate through the
factory inspectors and medical inspectors.
 An Accident is an incident plus its consequences; the end product of a sequence of events or actions resulting
in an undesired consequence (injury, property damage, interruption, delay).
 An accident can be defined more formally as ‘an undesired event, which results in physical harm and/ or
property damage, usually resulting from contact with a source of energy above the ability of the body or
structure to withstand it.
 An unsafe condition is a condition in which the layout of the workplace or work location, condition of tools,
equipment, or material is in violation of safety standards.
 Unsafe acts and unsafe conditions lead to several accidents.
 Identification of hazards and preplanning of safety is the only way to reduce accidents and injuries.
 Most of the accidents are occurs due to negligence towards unsafe working conditions.
 The lack of safety education among workers causes unsafe acts, which in turn leads to minor and major
accidents.
 Risk Assessment and Monitoring
 Hazard Identification
 Hazard Controlling
 Hazard Monitoring
 Safety Education and Training
 Improving safety Communication
 Providing Promotional Activities and Follow up
 Ensuring Employee participation in safety management
 PPE (personal protective equipment) required
 First Aid kits

Indian Standard IS: 3786 – 1983 (Reaffirmed 2002) prescribes basic methods for recording and classifying
industrial accidents.

It also includes details of work injury and gives the methods for computation of frequency, severity and incidence rate
of work injuries in industrial premises.

1. Frequency Rate – “How many Lost Time Injuries happened per 1,000,000 hrs worked for one year”

FR = (No. of Reportable lost time injury ×1,000,000) / (Man-hours worked)

• The Frequency Rate indicates how many injuries happened for every 1,000,000 hours worked over the past year
which caused time lost.

• An increased Frequency Rate indicates that the company experienced a higher number of injuries which caused time
lost.

2. Severity Rate – “No of days lost because of injuries per 1,000,000 man-hours worked”

SR = (Man-days lost due to reportable lost time injury × 1,000,000) / (Man-hours worked)

• The Severity Rate indicates the number of working days lost per 1,000,000 hours of work due to accidents.

• Higher severity rate indicates that the loss of working days is higher due to accidents.

3. Incidence Rate – “A mathematical calculation that describes the number of recordable incident per 1000 full-time
employees in any given time frame”

IR = (Number of reportable lost-time injuries × 1000) / (Average no. of persons employed)

• Incident Rate gives the number of employees involved in a recordable injury or illness.

• As Incident Rate increases the number employees involved in accidents is also increases thus causing time and
capital lass for the company.
4. Frequency Severity Indicator – “This is the square root of Disabling Injury index; it gives combined effect of
frequency and severity rate”

FSI = √ ((SR ×FR)/1000)

• The Frequency Severity Index (FSI) gives a combined effect of injuries and accidents happened and corresponding
working/man days lost.

• When the FSI in a company over a particular period is high it means that the company experienced a higher loss due
to the accidents occurred and the man days loss associated with it.

Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS)

Integrated Safety Management integrates safety into different levels of management and work practices so that
missions are accomplished efficiently while protecting the workers and public.

The five core functions of Integrated Safety Management System

1. Define Work

2. Analyse Hazards

3. Develop Controls

4. Perform Work

5. Feedback & Improvement
