Standard Guide for Recording and Reporting of Injuries and Illnesses for the Maritime Industry

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This guide provides best practices for the recording and reporting of maritime injuries and illnesses and those included in 46 CFR Part 4.03-1.

5.2 Each maritime organization should record and report each reportable marine casualty or accident in a manner that meets or exceeds regulations set forth by 46 CFR Part 4.03-1 and the Department of Homeland Security, USCG Report of Marine Casualty (CG-2692).

5.2.1 Marine Casualty or Accident—Some incidents defined as a “marine casualty or accident” per 46 CFR Part 4.03-1 will not meet the criteria in 46 CFR Part 4.05-1(a) requiring initial reporting and Form CG-2692 submissions to the USCG. However, owners, agents, masters, operators, or persons in charge need to consider whether notification to the USCG is still required under other regulations, including 33 CFR Part 160.216, for the reporting of a hazardous condition.

5.2.2 As a best practice supplement to 46 CFR Part 4.05-1, each maritime organization should record and report each injury or illness that meets one or more of the following criteria:

5.2.2.1 Medical treatment beyond first aid,

5.2.2.2 Restricted work or transfer to another job,

5.2.2.3 Days away from work,

5.2.2.4 Loss of consciousness,

5.2.2.5 Death, and

5.2.2.6 A significant injury or illness diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health care professional.

5.2.3 Each maritime organization should record and report to management all injuries requiring only first aid and incidents resulting in near-misses.

5.2.4 The vessel owner, agent, master, operator, or person in charge shall complete the CG-2692 form as required by the USCG and are encouraged to record the supplemental fields included in this guide. This form should be completed as completely and accurately as possible. Fill in all blanks that apply to the kind of incident that occurred. If a question is not applicable, the abbreviation “NA” should be entered in that space. If an answer is unknown and cannot be obtained, the abbreviation “UNK” should be entered in that space. If “NONE” is the correct response, then enter it in that space.

5.2.5 Once the form is completed, and if the incident meets the USCG reporting threshold outlined in 46 CFR Part 4.05, deliver, e-mail, or fax this form within five days of the casualty to the USCG sector, marine safety unit, or activity nearest the location of the casualty or, if at sea, nearest arrival point.

5.2.6 When a casualty meets the requirements of a serious marine incident as defined in 46 CFR Part 4.03, the owner, agent, master, operator, or person in charge is also required to submit a CG-2692B in accordance with 46 CFR Part 4.06-60.

5.2.7 Example best practice injury/illness recording/reporting fields that supplement the required CG-2692 are provided in Appendix X2. These fields also satisfy the best practices set forth in this guide and are intended to enhance the value of injury and illness recording/reporting through higher quality and consistency of the data. The intention is that higher quality and consistent data may lead to improved corrective action development, lessons learned discrimination, and industry benchmarking. Appendix X2 is not intended to replace the regulatory requirements of CG-2692, but it does contain some over-lapping fields.
