Injury trends and early warning

Stats → Incidents shows where injuries are trending, so a campaign can be aimed before the season rather than after it — for example, whether this winter's focus should be slips, trips and falls.

Recording how it happened

• Every injury on an incident needs how it happened, picked from one standard list: Pinch / caught between, Struck by, Struck against, Slip, Trip, Fall on same level, Fall from height, Overexertion / lifting, Repetitive motion, Contact with chemical, Contact with hot or cold, Vehicle, or Other (with a short description).
• It's chosen in the investigation, on the incident's People tab: Edit the person, then the Injury step. The field PIN never asks — it's a quick notice — so an injury reported by PIN shows "Not yet investigated" until someone picks one.
• An injury saved before this list keeps whatever it was recorded with; older values show "(older list)" and are never changed for you.

Injury trends

• Pick Body region or How it happened, and Count or Rate. The rate is per 200,000 hours (or your company's own base), using the hours on the Company hours tab; With subs adds subcontractor hours.
• The table lists every category with the last 12 months, the 12 before, the rate and the last few weeks. Pick a row to chart it. Hands & fingers are counted on their own rather than inside Arms.
• Slips, trips & falls (all) adds Slip, Trip, Fall on same level and Fall from height together, so a campaign can see the whole family at once.

Rising now — the early warning

A body region or cause is flagged as rising when it has at least the minimum number of injuries in the recent window AND its rate there is at least your chosen multiple of the 26 weeks before. If those 26 weeks had none, reaching the minimum is enough. The defaults are 3 injuries, 8 weeks and 1.5×.

• Flags show at the top of Where to focus and on the Injury trends card on your Overview.
• The rate is per hours worked when hours are entered for every day of both windows; otherwise it's per week, and the page says which.
• "Not yet investigated" and "Body part not recorded" are never flagged — missing paperwork isn't a hazard trend.

Changing the standard and who is told

• Stats › Settings → Injury early warning and rates (admins). Choose how big a jump counts (1.5×, 2× or 3× your usual rate), the fewest injuries before it counts (3 or 5), and the recent window (4, 8 or 12 weeks). Then Save all.
• Every Company Admin is told when something starts rising. Under Also tell, add supervisors or anyone else — they're told too.
• It's checked every night. Each rise is announced once; a rise that clears and comes back within 28 days isn't announced again.

Coming months vs last year

This month and the next three, against the same months last year and your monthly average. When a category ran at least 1.5× your average in those months last year (with at least 3 injuries), a "Coming up" line says so. It needs a year of records; until then the page says when yours start.

Is the data complete?

• Lists any month with no hours entered — those months have no rate. After the 10th, last month's hours are flagged as due.
• Counts injuries still waiting for the investigation to record how they happened, and any with no body part.
