    2. Toolbox presentation: Safety performance data 2004-05 and strain/sprain injuries October 2006

    3. 3 Reporting Every person working on a mine must report: any potentially serious occurrence any situation that could be a hazard any injury On receiving a report, the manager must: investigate the situation decide action to be taken notify the person who made the report

    4. 4 Data collected Resources Safety databases: Fatalities (part available on Resources Safety website) AXTAT (internal only, database may be queried upon request) Incidents (part available on Resources Safety website) Used to evaluate annual safety performance in the Western Australian mineral industry Used to determine trends in accident and incident reporting that may assist industry in managing risks more effectively (see article in MineSafe vol. 14, no. 3)

    5. 5 2004-05 statistics

    6. 6 2004-05 statistics continued

    7. 7 2004-05 statistics continued

    8. 8 2004-05 statistics continued

    9. 9 Priority areas for Resources Safety Risk management encouraging management to actively identify and manage risks in the workplace Safety culture improving safety awareness and culture of the mining workforce

    10. 10 DISCUSSION TOPIC: Reducing the risk of strains and sprains

    11. 11 Strains and sprains — ten years of data

    12. 12 Lost time injury frequency rates

    13. 13 Lost time injury incidence rates

    14. 14 Activity The graphs show that injury rates, including those for strain/sprain data, appear to have reached a plateau Some strains or sprains can be debilitating and have a long-term impact (e.g. back injuries) What can we do to continue a downward trend? Consider your workplace What hazards might contribute to strain/sprain injuries? Analyse and assess the risk – what is the likelihood and what are the consequences? How could the risk be reduced?
