Underreporting and the Implications for Serious Injury and Fatality Prevention
Presented by Anthony Gibbs, (CEO Sentis), Dr Amy Hawkes, (Head of Psychology at Sentis) and Warren Smith
What’s covered?
Research suggests that one in five recordable incidents and near misses have serious or fatal outcome potential—regardless of the actual outcome severity. Yet many organisations struggle with underreporting and classification of their more serious incidents. Understanding the system and culture factors that contribute to underreporting and your organisation’s risk exposure is the first step to building a more mature reporting culture. In this webinar, Sentis CEO Anthony Gibbs will interview Dr Amy Hawkes, Head of Psychology at Sentis, and Warren Smith, Founder of Incident Analytics, to explore: • the importance of accurately identifying serious injury/fatality potential events • key drivers of underreporting • the importance of weak signals to future serious events • some practical ideas and strategies you can implement to improve the way your organisation responds to incident reports.
