Systematic methods

Based on outcomes of safety programmes : Accident Rate Accident costs Accident Rates can be measured in terms of : o Incident rate o Frequency rate o Severity rate

 Incident rate reflects the number of injuries during a specified period. Incident Rate = Number of recordable injuries No. of employees exposure hours Frequency Rate = Number of disabling injury No. of employees hours worked

 Severity Rate = Number of hours lost No. of employee hour worked

Lower rates are indicators of satisfactory safety measures. 2. Use of Video Terminals in Safety Management : For its use computer is attached with video camera to the workshop. The person attached with monitoring room monitors the activities of workshop continuously. If he senses any likelihood of accidents he sends signals immediately.
