How Can I Manage Workshop Safety Incidents and Corrective Actions?
You can manage workshop safety incidents and corrective actions by recording every incident and near miss with location, machine, people involved and photos, investigating the cause, assigning corrective actions with owners and deadlines and checking that each action is effective.
In Jestor, incidents, investigations and actions are linked, building a safety history for the workshop.
Why do safety incidents repeat?
Incidents are handled in the moment and forgotten. Near misses are rarely reported.
Corrective actions are agreed verbally and not followed up.
The same risks cause new incidents months later.
What problems does incident management solve?
- Near misses never reported
- Investigations not documented
- Corrective actions forgotten
- Repeated incidents with the same cause
- No safety indicators
