Monitor-Pro IMS

MP-IMS is an integrated browser-based incident management and reporting system. It is invaluable at sites where the regulatory regime requires rapid reporting of environmental and other incidents (for example Health and Safety).

MP-IMS manages a whole range of incidents including:

• Accidents or injuries
• Complaints / feedback
• Dangerous occurrences
• Environmental incidents or breaches
• Near misses
• Audit non-conformances
• Operators Licence (O Licence) for operating good vehicles
• Road Traffic accidents
• Security breaches (theft, vandalism etc)

The first stage in any incident is the user enters basic data about the incident and chooses the category of incident. Details of the incident and surrounding circumstances are recorded in the system. The type and extent of data depends on the incident and is entered as both free text and as items from pick lists. In the case of injuries lost time is also recorded and the incident can then be flagged as a 'reportable incident' under the UK Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR). This would be the case if lost time is greater than 3 days for example. For each incident, causes are identified and specified and an action plan is put in place which can then be tracked. Ancillary information e.g. photographs can be uploaded.

Once the data is in the system, e-mails are then sent with incident details to other relevant individuals based on the category of incident. If the incident is an accident or injury e-mails would automatically be sent to the Health and Safety Group asking them to contribute, and if the incident is of sufficient severity then regional or area managers may also be required to take action. In any case senior mangers can receive details of incidents if required. Recipients of e-mails are defined by the administrator of the system and are completely flexible. If changes are made to the incident details post submission then e-mails are sent to specified individuals to inform them and an audit trail of changes maintained.

Users are then able to interrogate the data in the system. Summary screens can be viewed to provide a summary of incident for example by type, date, region or site. Searches can also be made to identify for example types of environmental incidents, types of injuries, particular injured body parts and Riddor incidents. Such searches then return a list of relevant incidents which users can use to drill down on particular examples. Bespoke reports can also be prepared for example to share particular predefined summaries and other information either for internal or external purposes.

Our first MP IMS system was installed at a major client in the autumn of 2008 and is now used to manage incident information at 50 sites. Contact us for more details on how MP-IMS could help you
