A brief description of the methodology used to track and calculate the number of recordable incidents of work-related injury or ill health :
The University uses a system called RiskWare. As part of the University's Work, Health and Safety requirements, all staff, students, contractors and visitors to our campuses are required to report any incidents of work-related injury or health. The system produces statistics as required. It also tracks the timeliness of reporting the incident, the responsiveness of what action is required to mitigate or reduce the risk of the incident happening again and how long that action took to put in place.
Annual number of recordable incidents of work-related injury or ill health per 100 FTE employees:
22.95
