Health and Safety Incidents Among MOD (Ministry of Defence) Personnel 2007/08
Abstract
This report provides the latest figures for adverse work-related health outcomes occurring for health and safety reasons recorded on the Ministry of Defence's Incident Recording and Information System (IRIS) for Armed Forces personnel and civilian MOD employees for the financial year 2007/08. The IRIS system was introduced in December 2007 to enable the MOD to monitor and analyse accident trends throughout the Department and ensure compliance with current health and safety legislation. The figures cover fatalities and various categories of injuries and illnesses. Several of the main findings have shown marked changes in recent years. These are thought to be primarily due to procedural changes in the way data has been collected. The first was a revamp of CHASP in 2000, the second was the introduction of the Army's new system - the Army Incident Notification Cell (AINC) and the third was the introduction of the Naval Service's new system - the Naval Sector Incident Notification Cell (NSINC).
