Safety Regulations and Incident Definitions

Study Notes

Accident (ACC): An event causing harm or loss to ADES personnel, processes, assets, or stakeholders.
Fatality (FTL): A work-related injury/illness resulting in death, included in Lost Time Incident (LTI) calculations.
Lost Time Injury (LTI): Work-related injury/illness requiring a physician's recommendation for time off work.
Restricted Work Case (RWC): Occurs when an employee cannot perform all job functions without actual days off.
Medical Treatment Case (MTC): Any work-related injury/illness needing medical treatment beyond first aid, excluding RWC or LTI.
First Aid Case (FAC): Minor injuries treated with basic care, such as bandaging or applying hot/cold packs.

Event examples include engine oil leaks and injuries from mishandling equipment.
The Dropped Object Calculator assesses potential severity of dropped object incidents, with significant drops indicating high fatality risks.

Minor treatments classified as first aid include:
- Tetanus shots, cleansing wounds, and using bandages.
- Nonprescription medications, temporary immobilizations, and eye patches.
Treatments not included in the first aid list escalate to Medical Treatment Cases.

Days Since Last Lost Time Incident (DSLLTI) and Days Since Last Recordable Incident (DSLRI) are monitored monthly on the ADES Reporting Platform.
Project Managers must report work hours to the designated office administrator during project duration.
The QHSSE Department communicates incident data to relevant industry organizations.

Safety performance is measured using operational work hours of ADES and labor contractor personnel usually filling ADES employee positions.

Timeliness of Event Report submission and Event Investigation completion are critical metrics.
On-time action completion prioritized by due dates and accurate reporting of man-hours are essential for safety management.
