Accident and Incident Data - 2013-2014

This dataset includes the following fields for 2013/2014: Reference (unique reference number); Date of Incident; Type of injury; Time Lost Days. In 2014, the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) changed the reporting requirements for Health & Safety incidents, where 'Time Lost' was recorded as a 'Yes/No' response. The datasets were drawn from the adverse incident recording system in operation at the time. The systems have been developed and enhanced over time to allow for greater internal analysis and comparisons. As part of its legal duties APHA records all incidents where a person has been harmed during their work or whilst attending APHA premises. In addition, the Agency has been promoting the reporting of any adverse incidents generally known as near misses or hazard observations, which is shown in the increased volume of reports. Please note: Some of the data has been edited. Attribution statement:
