About a month ago, OSHA released a video on its new OSHA Severe Injury Report includes forklifts. Here’s the link to it on YouTube. The video shows the new dashboard reporting on all of the severe injuries which they hope can help safety professionals get a deeper understanding of type of injuries, which body part was affected and which state it occurred. Being able to sort through a database of data can and does bring critical insights into your safety planning, which is why the SIERA.AI Dashboard is at the heart of our forklift safety system. Let’s take a deeper dive into this.
What is the OSHA Severe Injury Report Includes Forklifts? This is a data base of injuries that OSHA professionals found and reported over the years. The database has been ‘cleaned up’ to include the keywords in the narrative to make it easier to extract the information. The database can extract for you a full report, meaning everything in the database to certain injuries and other data such as total hospitalized workers, amputations, geography, top events and exposures. They do recommend keeping the sorting simple and drill down as needed. Much of this data includes the results of forklift accidents, fatalities and injuries. It doesn’t specify for forklifts. This is where SIERA.AI can take over and help bring more data and depth into the picture. Contact us.
